History

[edit | edit source]

Toscotec, originally named Officine Meccaniche Toschi, was founded in 1948[5] by Sergio Toschi as a service provider for paper mills in Tuscany.[6] In the 1950s, the company began engineering and producing the first complete machine for paper manufacturing. It was the first company to manufacture dryer cylinders in steel[7] instead of cast iron.[8][9]

The name Officine Meccaniche Toschi was officially changed to Toscotec in 2003.[10] In 2006 the Mennucci family became the sole shareholders of the company.[8] At the beginning of 2012, Toscotec became full owner of Milltech,[11] a company specialized in drying and energy solutions for the tissue industry, and consolidated its commercial and service network in the Far East through its associate Toscotec Paper Machine (Shanghai) Co., Ltd.,[12] in end 2012.[13] In addition to their growth in Asia,[14][15] the company has also had recent success in Russia [16] and South America.[17]

Today, Toscotec operates with a group of companies, Toscotec Tech, which comprises the parent company and its affiliates Milltech and S.to.ri.[8]
