Claudio and Gabriella, Vito Rimoldi's children, take over the company's management.

The company extends its commercial interests by acquiring Sirtef Flex S.r.l., which produced flexible piping systems for the hydraulics industry.

Another remarkable commercial agreement: Vito Rimoldi becomes the exclusive distributor for Italy of Frenzelit-Werke GmbH, a world leader in the production absestos-free sealing materials for gaskets. Thanks to this collaboration, Vito Rimoldi introduces a new graphite and Kevlar® gasket for the die-cast aluminium radiators sector.

The company's social responsibility becomes a reality when it starts its collaboration with "Cooperativa Sociale Solidarietà e Servizi", which was entrusted with a part of the production of our Company.

Construction work starts for the new production facility, where Vito Rimoldi S.p.A. will move its production activities. The work was completed, and the company moved to the new plant in January 2012.

The acquisition of Umberto Ruspi Srl, a historic company and a European leader in the production of flapper valves, valve retainers and precision-blanked mechanical components, gives life to the Valves Division, specialized in the processing of special steel for refrigeration compressors.

The valves Division is moved to the new plant in Borsano. The production and logistics lay-out inside the facility are also reorganised.
