Our History

120 years of top quality products and services

TECI'S history dates back to 1901, the year the "Luigi Spadaccini" Company, the forerunner of TECI Trefolo Rosso, was registered with the Milan Chamber of Commerce. 

In 1905 Spadaccini, with his partners, Luigi Bolis and Riccardo Faini, started “Trafilerie e Corderie Luigi Spadaccini & C.”, working in the modern plant in Sesto San Giovanni (MI) and specialising in manufacturing iron, steel and copper wire, ropes and metal meshes for all purposes.

In 1922 the anonymous “Trafilerie e Corderie Italiane” Company acquired the plants and commercial network from "Trafilerie e Corderie Luigi Spadaccini & C.”

As the years go by, TECI continues to be a leading player and partner for large supplies, projects and works.
