Company

Solmec was founded in 1960 in Rovigo as a company specializing in the production of machinery for material handling. From the very beginning, its mission has been to combine quality, innovation, and reliability, responding to the needs of a constantly evolving market.

In the 1970s, the company established itself in the Italian market by producing robust and reliable industrial loaders, suitable for various sectors such as scrap recycling, timber handling, and port operations. During this decade, Solmec introduced innovative and often customized solutions, increasing the productivity and efficiency of its machinery.

In the 1980s, the company expanded its international presence, exporting its products to several European countries. This period marked the introduction of the first advanced hydraulic models, further improving performance and operational safety for its customers.

The 1990s saw an acceleration in Solmec's technological development, with the introduction of new materials and electronic systems for machine control. Growing attention to sustainability led the company to invest in increasingly energy-efficient solutions, anticipating future industry trends.

Entering the 2000s, Solmec continued to innovate with the launch of its first low-emission loaders, marking the first step toward ecological transition. One of the most significant achievements of this period was the development of the first battery-powered wheeled industrial loader, a true revolution in the material handling sector. Thanks to continuous technological research and a passion for improvement, Solmec today stands as an international benchmark in the recycling, logistics, and material handling industries.
