Baglioni’s story: from small business to international company
Baglioni SpA is the specialized steel pressure vessel manufacturing company based in San Pietro Mosezzo, in the province of Novara.
In this article we retrace the stages of its history to better understand its evolution and future goals.
The roots of Baglioni SpA
It was 1968 when Baglioni SpA came to life: it was founded, initially under the name “C.M. Contenitori Metallici Srl,” by Alfredo Baglioni.
After the first years of experience and development in the Italian market, in 1984 comes the first milestone outside the national borders: we obtain ASME certification for sale in the USA.
An achievement that pushes us to aim for international growth, with 2 milestones.
In 1988, we open a new production site in France. The following year, we obtain CE certification for the distribution of our products in Europe, following the first EU directive that came into effect in 1991.

In the 1990s we concentrated our design and engineering activities in Novara, increasing the production activities under management of our subsidiaries.
The 2000s mark new successes for our Company.
Internationally, about 50 percent of all compressor tanks sold in Europe are made by Baglioni.
Globally, we finalize the first sale in China through supplying products to local branches of major European customers.
Growth that did not stop and led us, in 2002, to enter the SPE (Special Pressure Equipment) market.

In 2003 we opened our first production site in China, followed after 7 years by a second plant for the production of Special Pressure Equipment specifically for the Asian market, in the heart of Shanghai.
In 2006, the plant of MPV Morganton Pressure Vessels , this time in North Carolina. Opening allowing us to enter the U.S. market directly , with the manufacture and distribution of SPE products in the USA.
Growth and development, but also major acquisitions: in 2013 engineering and equipment from a company specializing in the Oil & Gas industry, while in 2016 the brand of Astra Refrigerants , present in the Gas & Air Coolers market, Oil & Gas and Hydrogen products.
This leads us to create 3 different product divisions within the Company:
A 55-year success story that has made Baglioni a world leader in the production of pressure vessels for compressed gases.
Baglioni SpA today: 9 manufacturing plants on three continents
Today Baglioni is a well-known , established and competitive company all over the world.
We have about 1,000 employees and have 9 plants on 3 different continents to our credit:
- America
- Europe
- Asia
We operate in different markets, supplying our pressure vessels for all kinds of applications: from compressed air to filtration, hydrogen, and oil&gas.
We guaranteecentralized engineering in italy and flexible manufacturing locally, with all the necessary certifications to be a global brand.
Despite its many achievements, Baglioni’s goal continues to be growth, in the Italian and international markets.
That is why we are constantly investing in new machinery and opening new plants, ready to seize all opportunities that arise.
Business growth that, for us, goes hand in hand with the growth of our people. Because our know-how cannot be maintained, developed and improved without the ability and value of the people who work every day on the shop floor and in the office.
That is why we have put in place a series of initiatives in the areas of corporate welfare, training and safety that we will develop in this and the coming years.
Business, Corporate Welfare, training, but also indispensable values on which we base our philosophy and growth.
First and foremost, the Baglioni Group stands for ethical behavior with all our Customers and Suppliers, fully respecting people and the environment around us.
We believe strongly in Italian tradition, transparency, the importance of our roots and sustainability to improve our business. In this direction, we are working to reduce consumption and waste and encourage reuse and recycling to support the environment.
The future prospects of Baglioni SpA
The Baglioni Group has devised a development plan for the coming years.
This is a series of investments aimed at opening new markets and consolidating our leadership in those where we are already present.
One of the main ones isgreen hydrogen. The experience gained over two decades of hydrogen processing in the oil&gas world paves the way for us to become a leader in this field and to meet the challenges ahead in the coming decades.
We also aim to meet new demands for stainless steel or carbon pressure apparatus, with increasingly flexible and reliable solutions.
The planned development plan will require significant efforts on various aspects, from safety to profit and loss account, sustainability to engineering and digitization.
However, we at Baglioni are ready to take on these challenges and achieve new goals that will make our growth path even more outstanding in the years to come.
