From the outset the company undertook a vigorous plan of restructuring and reorganization in order to perfect its production and achieve the position of leadership it now holds in the sectors of mobile dockside and off-shore cranes. As long ago as 1958, anticipating what would become is market philosophy, ITALGRU took an important step forward in the field of truck cranes when it presented its model AG 30, with a maximum capacity of 30 tons, that at the time was the largest truck crane produced in Italy. Over the years, ITALGRU has continued along the same lines and, thanks to the excellent qualifications of its engineers, its workforce and its management, as achieved steady growth in terms of production and sales in the sector of hoisting equipment. With the production of its mobile harbor cranes on wheels ITALGRU achieves the important goal of covering the complete range of machinery for handling large loads, and concentrates is efforts on technological improvement by expanding its design sector and setting up its own “Quality Control” function applied to all the machines, with tests on the materials before they go into production, carried out in its own laboratory by its highly qualified personnel. In 1995 ITALGRU was acquired by the Bonfanti Group, that took over the know-how, the production plant, the technical archives and the personnel. Other companies operating in the sector of heavy-duty hoisting and mechanical equipment on the Italian and world market belong to this group. They are: - BONFANTI s.r.l. - ANTONIO BADONI S.p.A. - BADONI/COSTAMECCANICA S.r.l. Currently ITALGRU operates in a plant that occupies an area of 25,000 sq.mt. in Lecco, on the banks of Lake Como, where it has both its production facilities and its offices.
