125th Anniversary and Testimonials

"Knowing the people who have gone before us helps us understand who we are and where we are going. It helps us dream and catch a glimpse of the future. Stories of men, ideas, plans and machines built. Today, as always, I feel a moral duty of gratitude towards those who with passion, dedication and commitment have contributed to what we are now, and my thanks goes particularly to them!"

Luigi Galdabini

“In 1972 I worked with the electronics team that brought out the first automation for straighteners in Europe… that says something!” 
Antonio Steccanella

 

 

Born in 1929 and hired in 1943, worked for Galdabini for 67 years.“I worked for a mythical company…”

The devoted work of generations of men was physically focussed on giving a final form to bars, plates, forgings and castings,
that was all, the beating heart that translated ideas into finished, working machines
