Diemme's story started in 1923, when the founder, Mr. Alfredo Melandri, planned and realised the first machines for mechanically pressing grapes. During the first decades of the last century, the main market of the company was the oenological industry and we developed innovative technologies for our wine-making customers. The success of our machinery spread worldwide, due to its innovative and durable design. During the 60s, thanks to the intuition of Mr. Primo Melandri, Alfredo's son, the filtration technologies that had been applied exclusively to the oenological sector up until then, were expanded to other industrial processes. Europe was facing a period of remarkable economical growth and the growing demand for filters within the industrial sector could only be satisfied with the establishment of a new division within the company; this section, was specialized in solid-liquid separation technology and was equipped with its own technical, commercial and production structures. In the early 1970s, Diemme was therefore reorganized and restructured in order to become a true multi-business company. Two divisions in the company were set up: the Filter Division and the Oenology Division; each quickly achieved industry leadership in their respective sectors, both nationally and internationally. The Filter Division; today known as Diemme Filtration, is an independent business unit, able to realise complete plant engineering and custom-made solutions, in order to satisfy the most exacting customer requirements. |
