Hour History from 1926

1926 Giulio Sommaruga founded the company in Gallarate (VA).
The activity started as a small laboratory that produced loom reeds for local weaving industries.
In the 1930s the company grew exponentially, Giulio designed and built new machinery to increase productivity.

In 1989 Luigi Sommaruga invented and patented "Cernimatic S", the first automatic warp leasing machine.

Since 2000 there have been significant improvements in production and products thanks to major investments in new production lines and CNC machines (computerised numerical control)
In 2019 we invented, designed and built "Giulia CMS" a new CNC machine, unique in its kind, able to produce highest precision reeds.
