October - November 2018 | Back

Innovation, investments, training. These are the watchwords of Zappettificio Muzzi, a Bologna-based manufacturer (the headquarters are in Castel Guelfo) specializing in the design and manufacture of mechanical components for machines used for working the land. Hoe blades for cutters, rotary tillers, walking tractors, of course, but also any wear components for lawnmowers, shredders, rotary harrows, plows, tillers and any other machinery for working the land. The catalogue of the Emilian company is very broad and differentiated, and counts - as the company states on its website - as many as four thousand models, with an expending production every year. These very significant numbers are explained by the strategic choice made by the Bologna-based company to aim at very high quality standards in order to be competitive on the Italian and international market. From this point of view, the organization of the factory processes in the Castel Guelfo plant makes the difference thanks to the use of robotic islands (which improve production efficiency) and the automatic storage systems that allow orders to be processed in real time. In addition to the constant updating of the catalogue, an integral part of this business strategy is the decision by the Emilian company not to relocate, but rather to focus on those elements that have made “made in Italy” synonymous with quality, reliability and technological excellence. In short, for Zappettificio Muzzi, producing in Italy is an added value, it is that requirement that increases and reinforces the recognition of its range of components and makes it competitive on the international markets.
