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.
