ABOUT SICOMA
In
1947, brothers David and Bruno Galletti opened a machine shop specializing
in design and production of prototypes of machinery, some of which was used
in the concrete
industry. In 1957 they designed their first concrete mixer, used in
the production of concrete pipes. In 1964 the first planetary mixer
was designed, with a skip hoist attached. This became popular, and models
P250, P375, P500 were produced, followed soon after by models P750 and P1000,
giving a range of capacities from 250 to 1000 liters. These products
carried the company through to 1970, when increasing volumes of concrete
demanded increased capacities. Thus, the 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 cubic meter
models were created.
At the same time, the company realized that smaller models of 10 to 100 liters, having the same characteristics of larger models, were in demand for lab tests and quality control. These mixers also found uses in specialized products and color pastes.
In 1972 the Company F.lli GALLETTI
had its name changed to OFFICINE MECCANICHE GALLETTI - O.M.G. SRL., OMG for
short, of which Societą Italiana Costruzione Macchine, S.I.CO.MA
is the major manufacturing division. In 1995, the company obtained ISO 9001certification,
the first mixer manufacturer to do so.
In December 2007 it celebrated its 60th anniversary. The continuous technical
advancements in their field has carried SICOMA to first place in the world market and
made it the recognized leader in the industry.
The Sicoma company currently exports
throughout Europe and world wide, with other plants in Barcelona, Spain,
Zhuhai, China and Montreal, Canada. The company headquarters is in Ponte
Valleceppi, Italy, close to Perugia in Umbria Province, with a plant area of
20,000 square meters, 7000 of which is inside manufacturing. The Italian
plant produces all of the critical components for use worldwide, while other
centers manufacture the bulky parts and assemble complete products. Sicoma
produces over 2000 mixers per year; many more than any other manufacturer.
