Who we are
Founded in 1922 in Lumezzane, in the heart of Brescia’s manufacturing tradition, Gnutti Carlo S.p.A. has been able to transform itself from a manufacturer of components for the agricultural, firearms and railway sectors into an international leader in the automotive sector, recognized for the excellence and precision of its solutions.
The company, led from the beginning by the Gnutti family, which still plays an active role in the management and development of the Group, has been able to reinvent itself through targeted strategic transformations until the decisive turning point in the mid-80s, when the company entered the automotive sector. The growth path continues with the acquisitions of Ljunghäll in 2014 and TCG Unitech in 2018, which expand the core business with new skills in the Light Metals and molding fields. Today, with over a century of industrial experience behind it, Gnutti Carlo is a strategic partner of the world’s leading OEMs in the automotive, truck, earthmoving, e-mobility, motorcycle, marine, agricultural and generator set sectors.
Our numbers and global presence
With an annual production of more than 78 million pieces, the Group boasts a solid international footprint: 12 production and R&D plants, distributed in Europe, North America and Asia, Gnutti Carlo can count on a global industrial network and a team of almost 4,000 employees.
Our core business
The core business of Gnutti Carlo Group is based on three complementary areas of technological excellence. The Powertrain represents our historical expertise, which sees us as a world leader in the development and production of components for the Valve Train and in injection systems. Light Metals are our strength in aluminum and magnesium die-casting, with which we create complex components for the automotive sector. TCG Unitech completes the picture with the injection molding of thermoplastic materials and the development of oil and coolant pumps. Together, these three skills allow us to offer our customers integrated and highly engineered solutions, accompanying them from design to production, up to the new challenges of the mobility of the future.
Our commitment and values
Joining Gnutti Carlo Group means entering a solid industrial context that is strongly oriented towards innovation. Guided by the Added Value principle, at Everything We Do, we are committed every day to generating added value and enhancing the talent of our people in the global manufacturing landscape.
