40 years of success on 126 markets around the world

The Sirman story goes back to 1969 when the company produced its first slicers, but it was not until the early 1980s that Sirman really began to achieve significant success, thanks to a focus on exports and inclusion in the Sirman catalogue of complementary products.

The impressive results obtained, with the doubling of turnover for seven years in succession, encouraged Sirman’s management to begin manufacture of these products for themselves. By applying this strategy throughout the 1990s and into the new millennium, Sirman has become the leading Italian manufacturer of food processing machines and equipment. Today, Sirman has its own R&D department employing a staff of 12 , equipped with eight 3D solid modelling stations to handle all stages of design and development for every product made in the company’s 9 factories, all located within the Veneto region of north-east Italy and all dedicated to Italian quality. The latest investments also illustrate Sirman’s focus on concentrating production in Italy rather than delocalising to the Far East as many other companies in the sector are doing. In 2008 Sirman opened a new shipping warehouse with 5 loading bays, as well as a new quality control section with 7 conveyors for completing and testing machines before packing and shipping them. In 2009 Sirman commissioned its fifth, automatic, double table work centre and a new cleaning system with 2 anthropomorphic robots to handle 98% of this tough and

difficult work. Sirman’s management is even more proud of the new fully automated warehouse that is under construction now, with a storage capacity of 1000 pallets. This new facility will be fully integrated in the company’s ERP system and will be able to distribute components automatically to the various assembly lines. Quite unique for the food processing machinery sector, the new system will speed up internal production and make it far more flexible.

These ambitious investments are clearly designed to prepare Sirman for a prosperous future.
