Our history
From wood to steel, since 1902
The Francesco Baretto company was founded in 1902, making wooden items such as wheelbarrows and tool handles. Metal carpentry was added in the 1920s and on 28 February 1948 the company name became the current Francesco Baretto S.p.A.
In 1976 the company moved to its current premises in Via Romitorio and the business evolved into today’s heavy steel fabrication and precision machining.
