An Industrial History Rooted in Parma

TECNinox was established through the entrepreneurial initiative of Giovanni Miglioli and Vito Bocchi, who had already gained experience in the manufacture of equipment for the food and pharmaceutical industries. Their expertise gradually became focused on process technologies for pharmaceutical production, leading to the company’s specialization and expansion.

In 1983, TECNinox opened a facility in Sanguinaro, between Parma and Fidenza. A new headquarters was built in Noceto in 2004 and subsequently expanded to meet growing production requirements. Further investments culminated in the 2023 expansion, bringing the production area to approximately 8,000 square metres across seven buildings.

This development reflects the company’s evolution into a group capable of delivering complete systems for highly regulated industrial sectors.
