Our History

Established in 1976 in Carpi (MO) as a Trading Joint Stock Co., with the name of Giuliano S.p.A., by will of Giuliano Maselli and other share-holders, it started as a mere Trade Company. In 1980 the Company style was transformed into Limited Liability Company.
In 1981 the headquarters moved to Correggio (RE), where in 1983 Fabrizio Bonacini entered into partnership with technical-production task.
With this new organization the Company started its production activity. In 1993 Giuliano Srl. acquired the trade-mark of the ceased MAIC, a Company based in Formigine (MO) manufacturing hydraulic lifts. Manufacturing of this new product, owing to more requested technical specialisations, has involved the internalization of all production stages, painting excluded. To pursue the policy of constant improving, imposed by the hypercompetitive market situation, Giuliano has set up inner procedures directed to optimize its staff's work, using informatics and boosting information-sharing. In such a context, Giuliano got ISO9002 quality certificate in 1999, and went on renewing and updating quality policy until the achievement of ISO9001 in 2003.
