Brief overview of our history
Cornaglia’s journey began on November 16th, 1916, when Giuseppe Cornaglia partnered with Officine Metallurgiche Giletta, marking the company’s entry into metal stamping. Over the decades, Cornaglia evolved from a local sheet metal business into a multinational partner group in the automotive sector. The company introduced exhaust systems in 1968, established a research center in 1978, and expanded into plastic molding by 1985.
In the following years, Cornaglia opened factories in Poland (1998), Romania (2000), and Turkey (2010), and formed joint ventures in India (2007, 2022), Canada (2013), and Brazil (2018).
In 2021, it expanded into France with a representative office, and in 2022, it established new plants in Poland and China while fully acquiring its Brazilian JV. Throughout its century-long journey, Cornaglia has consistently focused on delivering cutting-edge technical and engineering solutions, adapting to global changes and advancing alongside the automotive industry.

This international network supports Cornaglia’s mission to deliver innovative automotive solutions with a strong local presence and global expertise.
Our solutions
The METAL Business Unit (BU) performs stamping of medium and large components, with thicknesses from 0.6 to 8 mm, and of different types of materials, such as sheet metal, high resistance sheet, Antiphon, stainless steel and aluminum.
An important feature is the stamping of components that require deep drawing, such as the truck oil sump.
The components are assembled with all of the welding technologies (wire welding, spot welding, projection, braze welding in an oven with controlled atmosphere) and they can be painted with cataphoresis and powder coating processes, with the possibility of choices of different colors.
