Precision machine shop since 1946
On October 26th, 1946, the founder Lidio Poian managed to purchase the lathe “FM SAFOP”, with which he began his craft business in a room of 16sqm only.
After the professional studies and various working experiences, among which the employment as a turner for the Aeronautical Workshop of Monfalcone Yards, the hard times of the immediate post-war period and the resulting unemployment, his new company is the landing place of a definitive professional dimension.
In 1947 the craftman began to hire the first collaborators reaching the entrepreneurial dimension. It became known locally for the construction of woodworking and stone crushing machines, as well as providing special technical solutions such as hydraulic lifts for plows, a breakthrough in the agricultural sector at the time.
In 1955 the mechanical workshop was moved to the larger headquarters in via Percoto, with the addition of new machine tools and the hiring of new personnel.
In 1971 the current headquarters in via Nazario Sauro were built, and his son Claudio and daughter Luisa joined the company, taking care respectively of the production workshop and administration. The company thus takes the name of “Lidio Poian & C. s.n.c. – Officina meccanica di precisione” and quickly became one of the most qualified production realities specialized in the high precision mechanical machining sector.
In 1995, the new technical and commercial challenges, which require state-of-the-art technology, linked to company growth, made it necessary to increase the machine park and double the production area.
In 1999, the fruitful collaboration with a historic Italian motorcycle company was born, the development of this partnership in thirty years of racing has helped to collect more than 50 world titles among riders and manufacturers.
In 2005 the time is mature for the third generation of the family to step in: the founder’s grandsons, Carlo and Elia, join the company and lead it to face the great challenge of the new industrial revolution: the digital revolution.
In 2010 the Company qualifies according to EN 9100 Standard.
