Springs are essential components that often remain invisible, but guarantee the functioning of a vast range of products and systems: from car locks to door adjustments, from suspension systems to awnings, up to very sophisticated tools in the mechanical and industrial sectors.
Relying on expert and technologically prepared suppliers means ensuring resistant, precise and long-lasting components, suitable for every application need. In this context, Mollificio Pagnin represents an ideal partner for industries seeking precision and reliability: in 2025 it celebrates sixty years of activity, a milestone that tells a story of constant growth, solid roots and continuous attention to innovation.
From the first orders to global presence
In 1965, in a small provincial garage, Gianfranco and Sergio Pagnin decided to start their own production. They did not have large capital behind them, but they possessed solid technical skills and a clear vision: to create quality springs, with attention to every detail. To do this, they built the first coil spring machine themselves, combining manual skills, ingenuity and passion for mechanics.
That small workshop gradually transformed into a large spring factory, a truly structured enterprise, capable of satisfying increasingly complex orders. The expansion of production spaces and the constant updating of technologies allowed the Pagnins to go beyond local boundaries and become a point of reference for various industrial sectors.
The company’s springs have found application in fields ranging from mechanics to manufacturing, from automotive to electronics, up to medical and furniture. But not only that. The reputation for reliability and precision, built over time, has also paved the way for international collaborations. Today, the company serves customers in multiple countries, meeting diverse technical and production needs.
Tradition, innovation and uniqueness
At the basis of the path of this company is a profound metallurgical culture, gained through years of direct experience and refined with constant technical updating. This expertise has allowed the company to successfully tackle complex projects and offer personalized and tailor-made support, with projects designed by the customer and designed just for him.
From the very beginning, the objective has not only been to produce springs, but to create components capable of responding precisely and reliably to the needs of those who use them. One of the elements that distinguish the Mollificio is the ability to work a range of wire diameters ranging from 0.2 millimeters to 20 millimetres.
This versatility allows it to cover very different needs, from the smallest and most delicate applications to those that require high resistance and robustness. In particular, specialization in large diameter springs (over 8 millimetres) is a rare distinctive trait in the Italian panorama, and represents a competitive advantage recognized by the market.
The company today: dedication, precision and sustainability
Today the spring factory occupies a total area of 6,500 square meters and its annual production is around 40 million pieces. The company operates exclusively on order, developing each product with extreme care for the customer’s needs. This production method allows it to respond flexibly to both large batches intended for mass industrial supplies and small targeted series, characteristics particularly appreciated in sectors where customization is crucial.
On an industrial level, the spring factory continuously invests in the modernization of its machine park, adopting technologies that increase precision and optimize production times. Technological renewal is not an episodic choice, but a constant strategy that allows us to maintain competitiveness in highly specialized markets.
A concrete example of this policy is the new custom-designed machinery destined to come into operation in 2026, designed for the production of springs with a diameter of up to 16 millimetres: this is an investment that will further strengthen the company’s leadership in a niche where competition is limited and demand requires advanced technical skills.
The attention to the modernization of the systems is accompanied by a concrete commitment towards energy sustainability. A photovoltaic system of approximately 433 kW is installed on the roof of the company buildings, an equipment that significantly contributes to covering energy needs through renewable sources.
Continuity and future prospects
Another strong point of the spring factory, which has allowed it to span the decades reaching its sixtieth anniversary? Business continuity, guaranteed by family management. The objectives declared for the next few years (consolidate leadership in highly specialized niches, expand presence on foreign markets and continue to invest in production technologies capable of anticipating developments in industrial demand) respond to a logic of sustainable and planned growth.
In a sector in which supplier continuity is a decisive competitive factor, Mollificio Pagnin positions itself as a reliable partner, capable of guaranteeing operational continuity, financial solidity and innovation capacity, reducing the risk of supply interruptions or drops in quality performance for customers.
