In the ruined Italy of the immediate post war years, reconstruction was a national priority. One of the leading protagonists of this effort was the Alberto Sassi company, which managed by its founder Mr. Alberto Sassi, started manufacturing essential building construction equipment, specializing in the production of gearboxes for lifts.

Alberto Sassi company begins the manufacturing (as sole gears manufacturer in Europe) of electric motors.

The Alberto Sassi S.p.A. takes over the control of the company SMS Sistemi e Microsistemi s.r.l. to whom is transferred the electronic section (which had been created by Sassi in the early '80s).

The Alberto Sassi S.p.A. purchase the majority shares of the company Gibierre S.r.l. which starts the manufacturing of all electrical motors, once produced by Sassi.

Following the needs of the market and the technical experience gained therein Alberto Sassi creates LEO, the chamaLEOn of the Year 2000, that is a new gear able to adapt itself to all installation's requirements.

Sassi Holding takes over control of FAYMESA S.L. a Spanish company specialising in the manufacturer of gearboxes for lifts.

The technological family of the SASSI products is enriched by a new gem: the Gearless is born. Totally designed and produced in our premises, it is characterized by its lightness, noiselessness and the high levels of energy efficiency.

A new industrial building of 1500sqm close to the existing ones is built to lodge state of the art machine tools.

Expansion does not stop and a new 3000 sqm building is constructed and used for motor processing as a result of the transfer of the plant of San Cesario and in order to give boost to the motor department.
