History

A long history of passion and precision

The history of MEC-NOVA began in 1948, at the end of World War II, when Emanuele Novali founded a company specializing in screws and small turned parts. His sons, Virginio and Aldo Novali, expanded their father's artisanal business with commitment and dedication. During the 1980s and 1990s, they made it grow into a true industrial reality
