Family tradition, continuous innovation
For more than thirty years we have been producing foundry cores in Sandrigo, near Vicenza.
People who know the trade
Animisteria Todescato grew out of Giuliano Todescato’s foundry experience: in the 1980s he started a foundry business in Sandrigo. In 1990, together with his wife Francesca, he decided to turn it into a core-making company.
The company is still run by Giuliano, with Francesca, their daughters Giulia and Irene and technical manager Fabio. A small, close-knit team with permanent staff, who know every customer and every core box.
Since 2014 we have worked only with shell moulding; since 2019 our machines have been networked, and since 2025 our own MES lets us follow every production step in real time.

What drives us
Innovation at the core
The Italian magazine Fonderia interviewed us about the Industry 4.0 project carried out with Primafond: networked machines, real-time line monitoring and cost control for every production run.

Talent takes you far
We opened our core shop to students through a school career-guidance project: a video telling young people about foundry work, our machines and the people who make our cores every day.
The video is hosted on YouTube and only loads when you press play.
