Pettinaroli Group 

When it comes to precision engineering and innovation in the world of valves and fittings, few names stand as tall as the Pettinaroli Group. With a rich history spanning over a century, this family-run business has carved out a remarkable legacy, blending tradition with cutting-edge technology to deliver world-class solutions for heating, plumbing, and industrial applications. Let’s dive into the story of the Pettinaroli Group, exploring its roots, values, global reach through its subsidiaries, including Jomar, and contributions to the industry.

A Legacy Born in San Maurizio d’Opaglio

The Pettinaroli Group’s journey began in 1938 in San Maurizio d’Opaglio, a small town in Italy’s Novara province, nestled near the scenic Lago d’Orta. Founded by brothers Giuseppe and Giulio Pettinaroli, the company started as a modest workshop producing brass components. From these humble beginnings, the Pettinaroli Group has grown into a global leader, yet it remains deeply rooted in its family values and commitment to quality.

Today, the company is headquartered in the same town where it all began, a testament to its strong connection to its origins. Over the decades, Pettinaroli has expanded its reach across Europe, the Americas, and beyond through a network of subsidiaries, while staying true to its mission of delivering reliable, high-performance products.

A Family-Owned Powerhouse

What sets Pettinaroli apart is its enduring family ethos. Now in its third generation, the company is led by the Pettinaroli family, with a vision that balances tradition with innovation. This family-driven approach fosters a culture of trust, dedication, and attention to detail, ensuring that every product bearing the Pettinaroli name meets the highest standards of excellence.

The group’s commitment to its employees and community is equally inspiring. By maintaining its headquarters in San Maurizio d’Opaglio, Pettinaroli supports the local economy and nurtures a skilled workforce, many of whom have been with the company for decades. This loyalty and expertise are the backbone of Pettinaroli’s success.
