PUMPMAKERS SINCE 1947
EXPERTISE WITH SOLIDS ROOTS
Extensive experience in the production of plastic pumps and mixers has made Savino Barbera a point of reference in the treatment of corrosive liquids and hazardous fluids. Our company has been in business since 1947: many years have gone by since its foundation, but we still continue to offer highly reliable industrial components. Our production range is the result of in-depth knowledge of the chemical sector, rigorous selection of materials and continuous research into high quality standards. We maintain a practical and streamlined approach, typical of a family business now in its third generation: the expertise acquired over time translates customer requirements into concrete and efficient products.
1947
THE BEGINNINGS
- In his little workshop in Brandizzo (Turin), dedicated to general mechanical repairs, Savino Barbera, founder of the company, undertakes the artisan construction of the first prototypes of pumps for agricultural use
1951
METAL
- The pioneering artisan activity is soon transformed into the company’s main occupation: “F.lli Barbera” is established and starts manufacturing metal centrifugal water pumps
1963
MOPLEN
- Savino Barbera intuitively starts using polypropylene, which has only just been discovered, as a construction material for his pumps. In 1965, the company abandons metal and launches the exclusive manufacture of plastic pumps for corrosive liquids. The company takes the name of “Savino Barbera”
1974
SECOND GENERATION
- Thanks to the contribution of the second generation, the company undergoes a profound transformation, consolidating itself as a manufacturer of corrosion-resistant equipment, venturing out into international markets
1978
PP & PVC
- The use of plastic pumps for acids is extended to emerging fields of application. New materials, such as PVC, are adopted and the mechanical seal, one of the symbols of the company’s horizontal pumps, is redesigned
1990
PVDF
- The company name changes again and “Savino Barbera Snc” earns itself a prominent place in industrial system engineering, enriching the production range with new models and with new materials (PVDF in particular)
2000
NEW PRODUCTS
- The production range expands with the introduction of double diaphragm pumps and magnetic drive pumps. The company is now acknowledged as leader in a niche sector, where being able to design efficient machinery is not enough, and the ability to guarantee technical support is necessary too
2004
QUALITY
- Attainment of ISO9001 Quality System Certification. Savino Barbera pumps and mixers for chemical applications are increasingly reliable and recognisable
2010
INDUSTRIAL MIXERS
- “Savino Barbera Snc” takes further steps forward: the design of plastic mixers for the different industrial mixing and purification needs is developed and consolidated
2012
NEW ORGANISATION
- 2012 was characterised by the company’s umpteenth milestone: “Savino Barbera Snc” became “Savino Barbera Srl”, adopting the corporate structure that is still in place today
2014
THIRD GENERATION
- The founder’s grandchildren take on leadership roles. The entry of the third generation strengthens the company’s reputation, acquired thanks to the flexible structure typical of a modern company rooted firmly in the past
2020
NEXT GENERATION
- After more than 70 years, the founder’s spirit lives on in the fourth generation, beneficiaries of the original business ethics, in which self-imposed quality standards are not only the pillars of a production of excellence, but represent the very identity of Savino Barbera
TIMELESS PUMPS. SINCE 1947
1 - SAVINO BARBERA
The company’s founder, Savino Barbera, begins his adventure as a repairer of small mechanical equipment in 1947.
