The idea came from Lillo Silipigni, our owner. In 1981, after spending a few years working in companies within the sector, he founded Intercom.

In the beginning, we sold standard elements for dies and moulds produced by established European industries. Things were going well but this was not enough for Lillo. Driven by the desire to give more, he realised that there was room on the market for new more innovative, niche products. So he launched the production of mechanical and electronic tapping units and it was a success! The company grew fast and increased its workforce; Intercom products were known of a bit everywhere also as a result of the constant attendance of international trade fairs in the sector. In 1985, we became Uddeholm agents, and in 1988, we moved to Gorgonzola. Our development was accompanied by product innovation and manufacturing processes: we were among the first to use bar code controls and in 2005 we patented the electronic tapping machine. In 2008, we moved to the current site, which we are already expanding. In 2013, we celebrated another technological achievement: the mixed cage with rollers and balls. A product that confirms our creative ability and the global value of Italianmade goods. We are also one of the most innovative companies, capable of outdoing the global giants. Today there is the new generation at Intercom, alongside the founder: experience is refreshed with enthusiasm, to design a future full of expectations and certainties.
