Sira Group

About Sira Group

In 1958, Gaetano Gruppioni founded Sira Industrie in Bologna, Italy, leveraging his experience in foundries to produce aluminum, bronze, and brass alloys. This move anticipated the significant growth of the industrial segment. A few years later, the company had a major breakthrough with a revolutionary global patent for an aluminum radiator, registered in 1961. This innovation began the replacement of traditional cast iron radiators and established the company's foundation for international recognition. Over the next several decades, Sira Industrie expanded its expertise and market presence. Today, the company operates through three main divisions: Die Casting, Heating, and Engineering. The Die Casting division supplies aluminum parts for the automotive and mechanical industries, while the Heating division produces a variety of radiators. The Engineering division designs and constructs turnkey production plants for companies worldwide. The company has remained a private entity throughout its more than 60-year history and is now led by the second generation of the Gruppioni family, Valerio and Katia Gruppioni. A key event in its modern history was the 2012 acquisition of the Almec foundry, which was a strategic step to strengthen its position in the automotive die-casting sector. Today, Sira Industrie is recognized as a global leader in its market categories, with international production plants and a continuous expansion strategy.
