Mr. Arnaldo NOSTRALI approached the world of mechanics in the mid 50s. He started as toolmaker of automatic lathes in Montecchio Maggiore, in the heart of the Northeast of Italy. This area is nowadays well known for its high concentration of technological innovation, productivity and flexibility. After some years of experience matured near home, Mr. NOSTRALI decided to move to Turin to work for the Fiat group. Thanks to this experience he could use the first digital control machines: the microelectronic revolution had started. Back to Veneto in the first 60s, he worked as shop foreman in an important local turner shop. This was his last experience as employee and in 1967 he decided to try the entrepreneurial venture.

He arranged the family garage into a mechanical workshop. So the company NOSTRALI Arnaldo was born.

In those years of economic boom, thanks to the enterprising character of Mr. NOSTRALI, the company grew fast. It developed own products to offer to the market of compressors and power reducers such as safety valves and breather caps.
