The major growth of the automobile market of those years gave I.M.V. the opportunity of investing in the production of hot forming presses - even of large size and capacity - and forming presses with highly advanced technical solutions that sometimes seemed to be ahead of time. This happened for the DFCL presses, made in the '60s and '70s, that featured connecting rods with a "plunger", which today is considered to be the strong point of the precision pressers.

At the end of the '70s a new factory was opened in order to match the extra room required by the increased production, due to the growth of the sheet forming and blanking markets. I.M.V. became a leader in different fields: from pots and pans to household appliances, from furniture to car components and to metal powder sintering. The presses applications increase more and more.

The shareholders' commitment and the direct participation of the owner's family, made it a solid and competitive company that negotiated the natural selection caused by the difficult times of economical crisis that occurred both on domestic and international markets.

The '80s have been years of strong modernization: electronics changed forever the concepts of presses designing, production and use. I.M.V. GALLI ALFREDO invested a great deal in technology and people in order to deal with this new challenge at its best, with a major improvement in products quality and performance. At the same time, our company contributed to the market globalization by exporting its presses all over the world and by establishing steady business relations with France, Israel and Spain.

In 1998 a generation change occurred; our small-size company became a joint-stock company and changed its name and trademark. Thanks to its 60 years of history I.M.V. GALLI s.r.l. will make the most of the acquired and handed-down tradition, as well as the new industrial and organization ideas.
