Historically, the first company of the Group, G.D, was founded in 1923 for the production of motorcycles. Since the early Forties, the creativity and inventiveness of the Seragnolis became the driving forces in the development of the Company in the packaging machines sector, first in the food and hygene industries, then in the tobacco field. More recently, the Group grew into new areas, represented by high-speed milling systems, high-performance gears, printing and vision control systems for the pharmaceutical packaging industry, which offered interesting prospects and business opportunities.
Today, COESIA Group members have reached a leading position in all sectors in which they operate. COESIA's strategy of continual investments in R & D and its commitment to supplying customers value-added solutions to their requirements has made it one of the most successful international industrial Groups.
