Moro
History
The history of Moro, like many other companies in this country, starts out from the skill and industry of an individual craftsman. At the beginning of the last century Lorenzo Moro hit on the idea of diverting a waterway beside his workshop to obtain energy to power a mechanical hammer. He used this to manufacture carts and agricultural machinery.
In 1946 Moro began producing barrels/tanks for agricultural use.
In 1952 the company produced its first vacuum pumps and eight years later, in 1960, began making industrial jetting systems.
In 1965 Moro became world leader in the production of vacuum pumps.
In 1970 the company expanded its operations to the earth-moving sector. In the 80s and 90s it diversified further, introducing new products destined for municipal cleaning applications.
In the mid 90s part of the company was purchased by a foreign group.
In 2005, when it was purchased by Farid Industrie S.p.A., the company once more became entirely Italian. With 770 employees based in four plants in Italy and two abroad, today the Farid Group is one of the leading groups in the sector in Europe.
