The Strength of Tradition
Giacomini O.M. was founded in 1957 in Gravellona Toce (North West Italy – close to the Swiss Alps) by Virgilio Giacomini along with his sons Renato and Sergio. The company, in its early years, specialized in design and manufacture of Derrick cranes and lifting machines used in the Serizzo quarries in mountains of the local region.
Giacomini OM in the world
Giacomini O.M. contributed significantly to the very important evolution of Derrick Cranes from the old wood structures to the ones in steel. Encouraged by the initial success in the market, Giacomini O.M. expanded its product range to design and produce other lifting equipment, like gantry and overhead cranes, etc. While continuing to maintain its close ties to the stone sector, the company has over time, extended its presence in a wide spectrum of sectors including pipes, container, waste handling, Hydel Energy etc., wherever handling of heavy materials required.
The company’s growth was further accelerated by its move to a new production facility in the Industrial Area of Gravellona Toce, which has four industrial building and an Office Block equipped with the most modern production tools required for customized material handling solutions provided by us. Continuing in the tradition of the Giacomini family for three generations, today the company is managed by Paolo Giacomini and his wife Sara Crosa Lenz.
