In a 500 sq. m. manufacturing plant with two singleblock machines and two straighteners begins its activity a company that will become in the next years one of the leading enterprises of the European steel processing field.
1976Since 1976 joint-stock company, in 1979 it takes up a covered area of 1.150 sq. m. and the first block of offices are built. With few dozen of operators the company is already an important reference point for the industrial area around Lecco.

1995The office building is enlarged with the inclusion of the personnel service areas, the infirmary and the guardian house.
In the 90s the sales and operative network is strengthened with the remarkable expansion of the Marignier warehouse and the opening of two new premises in Paris and Bologna. At the same time Trafileria Mauri buys other two sheds as warehouses: one in Suello and the other in Ponte Lambro.

A new development and investment plan has begun that will lead in the next years to a significant increase in production capacity and efficiency.
Trafileria Mauri produces 70% of drawn free-cutting steels and 30% of engineering and medium-alloyed steels.
