The new “Made in Val Brembilla” logo Is born
This symbol represents the companies of the land where SIT S.p.A. was born and where the heart of our production is still located today. The Brembilla Valley is a small mountainous area in the Bergamo area which, despite its apparent inhospitality, is full of historic companies that have been producing and exporting products of excellence for mechanical, wood and food sectors to the world for more than a century.
This logo represents all the companies and our continuous commitment to the development of the territory, in the people and in the community to which we belong.
