The Galperti family founded Officine Nicola Galperti in Bellano in 1921, and the compa ny's first products were mainly small agri cultural tools and components cast for the state railways. Since then, development has continuously progressed. The advent of the chemical and petrochemical industries in the 1950’s led to a diversification of production with the introduction of flanges and the termina tion of the first line of products. Because of the need for space, the company moved to Dervio, and this was an initial important step towards development. The increase in demand and the request for increasingly sophisticated new materials highlighted the ongoing need for technological develop ment, achieved by investing in the furnace and mechanical work by installing avant garde production lines. A significant development was seen in 1994 with the expansion of mechanical working, warehouse, forwarding departments, and offices to Gera Lario. In a few years, the global production capacities of flanges doubled. In 1994, through the constitution of Galp erti Engineering and Flow Control SpA, the group started producing valves, mainly for the oil and gas sector. It started with a few people, and today, it produces thousands of valves, clamps, seal rings, and actuators. Galperti Incorporated 160 Southbelt Industrial Drive
