ZD was founded in 1984 by Damiano Zobbio, in the heart of Brescia’s manufacturing district in Northern Italy. It started with a father and son, a small warehouse, the first machines bought, the first risks taken and the trust of the first customers.
Over 40 years, our business has evolved from trading machine tools to the complete rebuilding of transfer machines, and then to designing and manufacturing new rotary transfer machines under the OMFS brand.
That small warehouse has become a site of more than 5,000 m², from which we serve manufacturers in Italy and around the world with new, rebuilt and ready-to-ship transfer machines from Italy’s leading builders. We look to the future, one machine at a time, without forgetting where we started.
Through our sister company ZB Utensilerie Meccaniche, which specializes in workholding systems, clamping and machining, we can deliver your transfer machine fully tooled and ready to produce your parts.
Our sister company FARM BRASS specializes in metal heating, building fully automatic, high-efficiency gas and induction furnaces with custom solutions for heat treatment.
You get the machine, the tooling and the furnace from a single partner: fewer suppliers to coordinate, and a production line designed as a whole.
In recent years we have invested heavily in our engineering department, with advanced design software and continuously trained staff. Close cooperation between engineering and production lets us meet a market that demands ever greater precision, innovation and performance.
We are a young, dynamic and flexible team of mechanical and electronic technicians, designers and sales staff. We support our customers in English, Italian, German and Spanish, from the first inquiry to after-sales service.
Founded in Lumezzane and later based in Sarezzo, we are now located in Castegnato, near Brescia, just minutes from the Ospitaletto motorway exit. Our site includes a 2,000 m² production area, 300 m² of engineering and sales offices, and a new 3,000 m² warehouse.
Our identity is based on strong values: equity, attention to quality and dedication in every company activity.
