IN THE HEART
OF
VALSESIA
The Maestrini made in Italy was born in 1964.
In those days Maestrini s.r.l. was a small artisan company at the foot
of Monte Rosa and was manufacturing brass threaded fittings only for
the Piedmontese market.
The best fitting on the market, supplied in the shortest time That was always the main aim of Mr Giulio Maestrini, founder of Maestrini s.r.l., and since 1964, the year of foundation, he has been taking every decision with this idea very clear in his mind.
Today the company is the Italian excellence in the production of high quality Fittings Marine Accessories Valves Sea Intakes and has very marked distinguishing features such as a strong propensity to invest, special attention to quality, continuous research of new solutions and last but not least a lot, a lot of flexibility.
Our customers can find a product of high quality, always available in a short time and, for any particular requirement, an efficient team of designers that can get from the concept to the finished product in a time that you would hardly believe possible.
But, as Mr Maestrini always says
“It was our customers, with their continued preference, who allowed us to afford the right investments to continue growing and improving to remain up to their expectations!
Therefore they deserve our heartfelt thanks!”
