ABOUT US
FROM SELLERS TO PRODUCER
We believe in what we do and we always strive to do it better
FAST, ACCURATE, RELIABLE
We produce, sell and provide services. Our development is centred on the customers and their needs: to achieve this we are committed to finding fast, reliable solutions every day.
Our small size enables us to do this. We have a few levels, those that are used to do the job in a helpful and results-oriented way. Our staff are young and motivated, prepared and trained. Above all passionate. We believe in what we do and we always strive to do it better, according to the highest standards on the market. This is why we have become a point of reference for European and International companies. Because we are an active, dynamic and flexible partner. Because we are present worldwide through a well-structured network of distributors and agents. Our customers are companies that operate in the most varied sectors, where dies are used: from automotive to food & beverages, from electronics to industrial plants, from furniture to white goods, to medical.
PASSION
THERE WERE NO PRODUCTS LIKE THE ONES I WANTED
The company’s thrust
A PASSION THAT LOOKS TO THE FUTURE
It was our owner, Lillo Silipigni’s idea. In 1981, after a few
years in companies in the sector, he created 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.
