In 1944 the company employed more than 150 and was working around the clock to manufacture a lathe, called “Littore”, used on military vehicles. The bombing raids of 1944 caused the overnight destruction of the company facilities and forced Amedeo Tajariol to start all over again after the end of the war. The new company, Tajariol Macchine Utensili, now known as TAJMAC-MTM, started by salvaging machinery of war-damaged plants, rebuilding it and selling it to companies in an area which soon expanded to encompass the whole of Italy. Given Amedeo’s experience, it is not surprising how little time it took for the new company to specialize in the rebuilding of and trading in automatic lathes. Amedeo’s first-born, Andrea Tajariol, joined TAJMAC in 1968 and dramatically expanded its activities by dealing directly with foreign suppliers and by becoming the Italian distributor for DAVENPORT and WICKMAN, two of the leading multi-spindle manufacturers of the time. The need to satisfy the constantly evolving market requirements compelled the Tajariol family to transform themselves from traders into manufacturers, and therefore into designers, of multi-spindle lathes. Hence the acquisition of WICKMAN, of MONEO (now TAJMAC-FRANCE), in the year 2000 of ZPS (now TAJMAC-ZPS) and of other Czech companies of the group: ZPS-SLEVARNA (the foundry), ZPS-GO, ZPS-TRASPORT, TECNIMETAL CZ.
From Costruzioni Meccaniche Amedeo Tajariol to the TAJMAC GROUP
TAJMAC-MSW (TAJMAC Deutchland since 2017) and ZPS-CNC USA are established in Germany and in the USA respectively. French company MANURHIN K'MX is the next acquisition in 2006. ZPS AMERICA becomes a part of the group in 2008. In May 2013 the group bought the company CHUCHI BLT and then ZV-Nástroje in November 2018.
The determination to establish and maintain close and mutually satisfactory relations with customers led to setting up a network of agents and exclusive distributors which now extends to most countries of the world. In some of these (France, Great Britain, Germany and the Czech Republic), the distributors are branches of what is now commonly referred to as the “TAJMAC group”. Branches, distributors and agents all operate in the same manner as TAJMAC-MTM, advising and keeping in touch with the customer before and after purchase, assuring prompt servicing and spare parts delivery and providing all information required to keep the customer technologically updated.
