Since 1953, the ambition and entrepreneurial vision of brothers Gino and Guido Zoppelletto have given life to “Officine F.lli Zoppelletto”, which began as a manufacturer of machinery for the agricultural and wine-making sectors.
This introduction invites you to discover, through the timeline, the path of growth and transformation that has led our company to become a benchmark in sheet metal processing.
As you follow the milestones, you will see how we have faced changes and challenges, always maintaining a commitment to quality and innovation.
The workshop of brothers Gino and Guido Zoppelletto was established in 1953 under a portico along Via Parmesana, where the first agricultural and wine-making machines were built. This is where the first sun-rake tedders, hay loaders, grain mills and grape presses were produced.
