History

AN ENTREPRENEURIAL ADVENTURE FOCUSED ON INNOVATION AND CREATIVITY
It all started when a brilliant 24-year-old toolmaker who worked for Magneti Marelli, Ernesto Malvestiti, decided to pursue his dream and bring it to fruition with competence, creativity, and dedication. He will succeed, perhaps even beyond his own expectations, so much so that today, in its third generation, Malvestiti Group is a global leader in the fine blanking and lamination market.
While, for some years, Malvestiti almost exclusively dealt with the creation of progressive dies, the company management’s ability to innovate and look to the future has led to the birth of a solid group, with an Italian heart and an international vocation. A group that is not limited to die construction but one that features largely in the Italian manufacturing landscape.

Mission & Vision

TURN EVERY CHALLENGE INTO AN EXTRAORDINARY OPPORTUNITY
Making a difference through innovation. Malvestiti produced the first blanking die with carbide as early as 1958, when no one, or almost no one, believed in this technology, which would later mark the lamination die blanking sector for generations to come. A few years later, it was the turn of fine blanking. Today, more than half a century later, technologies have changed, but what has never changed is the spirit and desire to innovate.

Malvestiti
in the world

Malvestiti in the world

Six centers in Europe and four in Asia for a Group with an international vocation, yet rooted in the values and excellence of Made in Italy. Malvestiti Group can rely on its Italian operational sites in Cinisello Balsamo (MI), where the Group’s headquarters and mold construction division are located, as well as the site in Muggiò, home to the fineblanking divisions. The Group’s other European representative offices are located in Paris and Homburg. Over the years, Malvestiti Group has expanded its global presence with the development of a site in Chennai, including an office hub and three production facilities dedicated to mold construction, fineblanking, and conventional blanking. These facilities are strategically located near major automotive hubs, ensuring maximum responsiveness to customer needs. This global footprint is now further strengthened by the recent opening of a new production plant in Mexico, enhancing the Group’s ability to serve international markets.

MALVESTITI GROUP IS ESTABLISHED Made in Malvestiti goes global with Malvestiti Group. We are not satisfied with designing and manufacturing high-precision blanking dies with both steel and carbide blanking parts. With the creation of an international group, we are able to follow each stage of development, planning, co-design and the production process at every stage internally. For production at the limits of feasibility and quality that knows no bounds.
Malvestiti SPA AND ITS DIVISIONS Four divisions and three company laboratories, two for parts dimensional control and a fully equipped metallography laboratory to analyze the structure of materials are just some of the tools that Malvestiti Group puts at the service of its customers. The rest is done by research and development processes and an approach that unites each division: quality is everyone’s responsibility.

Toolshop Division: why do customers have to wait in vain when we can quickly satisfy all their requests? Our Toolshop division was born from the desire to meet this need and ensure complete internal management of all processes so as to be able to provide guarantee for every single stage.

Fine Blanking Division: pieces with smooth, orthogonal and tear-free cutting surfaces are made here with a precision level that minimizes and even eliminates reworking. It is no coincidence that Malvestiti Group is considered a global reference in the fine blanking sector.

Lamination Division: our presses, equipped with a die management IT system for the production of rotor and stator packs, ensure the rotation of the lamination dies for versatile machining directly on the machine.

Conventional Blanking Division: mechanical presses whose tonnage is between 50 and 450 Tons, capable of creating complex components to cater to various industries.
GLOBAL FOOTPRINT

Global presence, close to our customers 

In recent years, Malvestiti has significantly strengthened its international presence, consolidating an industrial vision increasingly focused on proximity to customers and global markets. The opening of a manufacturing plant in Mexico represents a strategic step in this direction, enabling the company to serve the American market in an even more direct and efficient way. 

At the same time, the longstanding collaboration with MIM, an important industrial partner with manufacturing facilities in India, continues to represent a key pillar in the development of the company’s global presence. This synergy allows Malvestiti to integrate expertise, production capabilities, and know-how on an international scale, strengthening its competitiveness and its ability to support customers across different continents. 

Through targeted investments and strategic partnerships, Malvestiti continues its growth journey, building an increasingly international production network and reinforcing its role as a reliable partner for leading players in the industry.

COLLABORATION WITH MIM Since 2011, Malvestiti Group has been actively collaborating with their joint venture partner company based in Chennai, India called Mudhra Fine Blanc Pvt Ltd, a key supplier of components to Indian and Global Tier-1s based in India, for both automotive and non-automotive applications. Besides their core areas of fine blanking and stamping, Mudhra is also developing the lamination stamping activity in Chennai, considering the strong market opportunity in India. This choice has confirmed the Group’s internationalization and desire to ensure its increasingly wider presence, on a global level, for all its customers. 
PARTNERS Unity is strength. This is why over the years Malvestiti Group has selected a small group of highly reliable partners for the design and construction of dies for the processing of thermoplastic and thermosetting resins intended for the production of high-precision components, and in the sheet-metal molding sector, paying particular attention to drawing dies.
Commercial offices In addition to the production hubs, Malvestiti Group’s operations in the world are ensured by a global network of commercial offices.
