History

Thousands, millions of people work, produce and save money despite everything we can come up with to harass, jam them up, discourage them. It is the natural vocation that pushes them; not only the thirst for money. The joy, the proud to see their own company prosper, winning acceptance, inspiring confidence in an increasingly wide range of clients, expanding plants, embellish the premises constitute a driving force for progress as powerful as profit.
If this were not the case, it would be hard to explain why there are entrepreneurs that focus all their energy and invest their capital on their companies to make profits often far more modest than those that could certainly and comfortably be made with other occupations.

Entering our company, visitors will notice a picture with this famous quotation of former President of the Italian Republic Luigi Einaudi (May 1948 – May 1955).

It is in this spirit that Fonderie Palmieri Spa was born in 1968 from the transformation of an individual enterprise called “Lorenzo Palmieri”. Since then, for the next 30 years, the company’s fortunes are inextricably entwined with the life and genius of its founder.

Lorenzo started with the production of iron castings for diesel engines for his own family business, and then established himself as a supplier of castings for agricultural machinery and refrigeration compressors, the latter still a driving product for the company.

The current management group inherited the culture of entrepreneurship of the founder and his key principles, constantly trying to re-read them with technological tools that shall be made available, continuously improving production standards.

Since May 2016, Fonderie Palmieri Spa is subject to Frascold Spa management and coordination: the latter is a company that’s leading the development and production of compressors for the refrigeration technology.
