Discover Magnoni’s history

1956

The origins

Magnoni was set up in 1956 in Modena, in the heart of the Packaging Valley, as supplier of conveyor belts for companies mainly active in the food sector. The ability to provide high performance products and to support customers with its expertise, trustworthiness and innovative ideas, awarded the company with many important contracts that caused it to grow quickly. In few years, Magnoni transformed and expanded its core business: not just production of individual parts of handling systems, but also designing and constructing complete systems.

The future in the LM Group

In December 2019, Magnoni joined LM SpA, another historical Modena-based company, leader in complex, high-performance handling systems. Thanks to the contribution of the LM structure, and specifically the department for in-house production of all the main conveyor belt components, and the department of automation and construction of control panels, the company gained further flexibility and effectiveness, resulting in an immediate, significant boost to its growth in its target markets.
