Corporate History
Alfredo Ricci established the company in 1896 giving birth to the Ricci Family Industries. Today, the company is still involved in transport vehicles repairing and servicing activities.
Leo, Alfredo’s son, in the early twenties kept developing the business and ran the new Family Enterprise “Officina Leo Ricci” up to the early eighties.
Franco Ricci entered the father’s company at the end of the forties and carried on its activities until 2008, when he definitely left the management of “Officine Meccaniche Ricci” to his three sons.
Alessandro, Giovanni and Stefano kept running the family business and in 1992 they established a new company: SERMEC.
This new challenging business had the task to further develop the industrial processes started back at the beginning of the century, by their grand-grandfather.
With over 120 years of experience, the fourth generation of the Ricci Family is now running both companies: Officine Meccaniche Ricci and SERMEC.
The capitalization of over 120 years of enterprise experience has allowed SERMEC to develope innovative remanufacturing and reengineering processes combining high quality products with reasonable costs. A continuous product development allows a wider range also for recent vehicles application, for a winning business solution.
The Remanufacturing process is not limited to the replacement of necessary parts, but involves a reengineering process, through a “reverse engineering” analysis, which implies a quality improvement of the final product. Through new and remanufactured products and maintenance services, SERMEC empowers efficiency on existing
infrastructure and mobility which constitutes the pillar on an evolving global economy.
