OUR HISTORY
The roots of the company date back to the early 1960s when Tinti Srl was founded in Castelfranco Emilia, specializing in the production of components for the agricultural sector. Over the years, the company grew and became a partner to major companies operating in the region. In 1973, the Borsari family took over the management of the company, bringing an entrepreneurial mindset that modernized and reorganized the business, equipping it with a structured and professional operational capacity.
The subsequent years tell the story of a dynamic company, capable of producing efficiency and continuous growth. Its relentless pursuit of quality and attention to service enabled the company to weather some of the darkest periods for the Italian industry, positioning itself as one of the few companies capable of growing alongside its clients and becoming a reliable partner. The company’s production began to cover all the main sectors of precision components, from hydraulics, automotive, earthmoving, agriculture, to food production. During these years, the company obtained the main industry certifications, demonstrating the highest levels of
quality and professionalism achieved. In 2001, the company changed its corporate name to CEC Srl. In 2007, it moved from its historic location in Castelfranco Emilia to a new 10,000 m² production site in Crespellano (Bologna), where, in addition to precision machining, preassemblies, complete assemblies, accessory processes, and specific parts are carried out. In 2019, the company reached 100 employees, with increasingly ambitious goals propelling it toward the future. By 2022, the company employed 130 people and reached a turnover of €40,000,000.
