The Fantuzzi Group offers an over abundance of material handling equipment and heavy machinery. The equipment consists of a plethora of machines dedicated to unloading, loading and transporting goods. The railway freight sector and the port market require a large portion of their equipment.
Initially beginning in the 1960s as a zoo-technical and agricultural equipment manufacturer in the province of Reggio Emilia, Fantuzzi has expanded to become a world leader in the heavy equipment industry. Now a global firm, the company gradually expanded after introducing successful advancements and overcoming a large number of technological challenges. Luciano Fantuzzi is the President and founder of the group. In 1967, the group began making side lift trucks specifically for hauling timber and extended materials such as metal rods that weighed between three to five tonnes. The firm enjoyed frequent orders and completed 60 units in the 2nd; which was five times greater than their 1st year sales.
Within a short time, the firm grew exponentially. In 1968, a heavy-duty side-loader British model that was capable of lifting up to 32 tonnes inspired Luciano Fantuzzi. He wanted to create something that had more power with a similar style. After finishing this machine and attaining his goal, Luciano began receiving orders from French Railways, Fiat and many others. Nowadays, the Fantuzzi Group Italy has numerous manufacturing plants around the globe including Italy, Germany and China. The firm proudly exports to 162 countries.
Fantuzzi has kindly offered its patented expertise with countries all over the globe with the goal of making the material handling, heavy equipment and transportation industries more convenient. Advancements and digital technology are helping to transform the industry.
