Our history
CAMOZZI GROUP 
From generation to generation: the story of a Group with innovation at its heart
1964 - 1997
The beginning of a journey marked by challenges, successes, and innovation
1964
The birth of an entrepreneurial journey
Our story begins in Lumezzane, a small town in the province of Brescia, when the three brothers—Attilio, Luigi, and Geromino Camozzi—started producing pneumatic components for industrial automation on their own.
1971/75
From a home workshop to the first premises
In 1971, near the Camozzi family home in Lumezzane, the company’s first facility was built.
Within just a few months, the space was doubled to meet growing production demands, marking the establishment of the company’s first true manufacturing plant.
In 1975, a new production site was opened in Polpenazze del Garda.
