About Marsilli

In 1938, Angelo Marsilli founded a company in Turin, Italy, to manufacture winding machines. For decades, it operated as a stand-alone machine producer. A pivotal moment came in 1974 when the company relocated to Castelleone with just seven employees. The business was acquired in 1980 by the Swiss company Sarcem, a leader in the winding machine field. This set the stage for a new era of ownership which began in 1985, sparking a period of intense development. The company's focus evolved from simple winding machines to more complex, automated systems. The 1980s saw the introduction of multi-spindle machines with CNC controls. By the 1990s, Marsilli was integrating transport systems to connect operations, a crucial step towards full automation. This decade marked significant international expansion, with the founding of Marsilli Deutschland in 1988 and Marsilli North America in 1991. The company's growth was rapid, with turnover jumping from 10 million euros in 1992 to 49 million in 2001. A key strategic move occurred in December 1999, when Marsilli acquired its largest Italian competitor, solidifying its market position. By the 2000s, Marsilli was delivering fully automatic production systems, embedding winding with all surrounding processes. Today, Marsilli is a global leader in providing winding and assembly solutions for industries like automotive, consumer electronics, and RFID, turning a niche manufacturing process into the core of factory automation.
