1980s
Fonderia Todescato
Giuliano Todescato starts a foundry business in Sandrigo. This is where our first-hand knowledge of castings, sands and cores comes from.
Our history
From foundry to Industry 4.0
More than thirty years of foundry cores, always with the same family at the helm.
1990
The core shop is born
Giuliano and Francesca decide to turn the foundry into a core-making business, starting with the Ashland (cold box) and Betaset processes and a first dedicated core shooter.
1992
Shell moulding arrives
Alongside the cold processes we introduce shell moulding: resin-coated sand formed in heated core boxes, producing precise, strong cores with an excellent surface finish.
1996
New premises
Growing production takes the company to new premises with more room for machines and storage.
2014
Shell moulding only
A strategic choice: focusing exclusively on shell moulding cores. Specialising in one process means mastering it and delivering consistent quality to foundries.
2018
A new building
New production and storage space: today our 800 m² warehouse holds customers’ core boxes and ready-to-ship cores.
2019
Industry 4.0
Together with Primafond we complete a year-long project: latest-generation core shooters connected to the company network and integrated with our ERP. Process parameters can be checked and adjusted from the office – our first step towards a digital factory.
2023
GIFA, Düsseldorf
At the international foundry trade fair to meet customers and keep up with the latest technology.
2025
Our MES is born
We start developing our MES, the system that collects real-time data from every machine: output, downtime, scrap and order progress, available in the office and on the shop floor through dedicated dashboards and statistics.
2026
Power from the sun
We install a solar plant on our roof: a large share of the energy that runs our machines is now produced on site from a renewable source.
