Our History and Mission

Valmex was born in 1999 from the sale of a branch of the company MVM Meccanica Valle Metauro, a company founded thirty years earlier by Engineer Severino Capodagli.

In the corporate structure of Valmex, alongside the Capodagli family, are the members of the Spanish Orkli S.Coop company belonging to the Mondragon Corporation, a federation of workers’ cooperatives based in the Basque Country in Spain.

The fact of being born as a family business and the desire to continue to be one in the future has allowed Valmex to firmly hold on to qualities such as fairness, respect, conscientiousness and a sense of value, developing that strong sense of responsibility in every moment of the company’s life that must translate into attitudes that are active and positive, and never passive. A line of conduct that the family has entrusted to the company’s top management, which in turn has the aim of developing a virtuous path capable of involving its direct and indirect collaborators.

The family culture, the founding values and, consequently, the organisational model and relationships adopted within Valmex have always been fruitful ground and not issues that remain written on paper.

“‘The present and the future are already written: we must continue to look far ahead, to be long sighted'”.

Valmex offers its customers the best possible solutions for their applications, collaborating in the development of perfect approaches and state-of-the-art technology, with the aim of guaranteeing the highest possible levels of quality, with particular attention to environmental and occupational safety protection. To give substance to these intentions, the company is committed to applying and continuously improving an integrated ‘Quality – Environment – Safety’ system. This system favours the pursuit of a number of strategic priorities and goals: from acting responsibly, in compliance with environmental, health and safety at work legislation, preventing all forms of offences and/or crimes in this field, to ensuring the correct application of the technologies used and, where possible, pursuing the improvement of these technologies and the adoption of the most advanced ones from an environmental and safety point of view, working to ensure that the regulations governing these aspects are known.

External Collaborations

Since its foundation, Valmex has been collaborating with universities and university departments, receiving thesis students as well as entrusting research projects to specialised university laboratories.

Since 2020, we have been collaborating with MADE – Competence Centre Industria 4.0 of the Milan Polytechnic, which has supported Valmex in its digitisation process. We started from the Digital Maturity assessment, in order to define the I4 Strategy. After the field survey, aimed at identifying the Company’s critical areas, we determined the ‘to be’, i.e. the areas for improvement needed to boost the degree of Digital Maturity. This was followed by an adoption plan based on the expected costs and benefits.
