History

CIMA S.p.A. was founded in 1974 thanks to the intuition of Paolo Smeraldi who in Valle Versa, in the heart of Oltrepo Pavese - an area known for the quality of its vineyards and wines - started the production of pneumatic sprayers and dusters based on a new technology for the time: the Low Volume. On which CIMA production is still based today.

The special needs of various Italian situations and the possibility to provide quality interventions that are more efficient and economically more advantageous, while respecting the ecological balance of the environment, have initiated the industrial progress of the company.

The positive response from the European viticulture market was immediate, the French one in particular: this has given us the opportunity to come into contact with situations and growing techniques different from the domestic ones, giving us the push for the design and development of personalised solutions.
The flexibility to design quality products tailored to the needs of the end user, has enabled the company to create successful solutions even for the treatment of crops that are different to vines.

The strength from matured experience and thanks to the initiatives of its leadership, at the beginning of the 1980s CIMA took its first steps outside of the European market, initially exporting to South Africa, which has warmly welcomed the innovative equipment: then requests from the United States of America, Australia and New Zealand followed.

The pooling of experience with foreign markets has not only encourage the company's growth but has also allowed CIMA technicians and designers to acquire an in-depth knowledge of the crops and of agricultural models from the different realities with which they have collaborated. The experience gained in field, through experiments and tests, has allowed CIMA to develop increasingly advanced solutions, capable of satisfying the different needs of the agricultural sector, both in Italy and abroad.

The foreign market has allowed us to broaden our knowledge on diverse conditions and crops; thanks to the specialisation and the exchange of information with clients in the area, as well as the information and experience acquired during the experimentation and field trials, the R&D staff is always able to develop and offer the right product according to every client’s needs.

In 2000 the company made significant investments in the construction of the new headquarters, introducing ultra-modern machinery: every mechanical part is manufactured inside the factory to ensure the total Made in Italy supply chain.

Being in control of over all stages of the process allows us to maintain very high quality standards, in order to always meet the specific requests of our customers. Thanks to the introduction of increasingly cutting-edge machinery, our production line is now truly all-round: it allows us to produce a wide range of equipment, to be extremely flexible and to adapt to the specific needs of each customer.

In the last decade, thanks to the conclusion of important trade agreements with countries such as India, Kenya and Egypt, export represents 85% of sales.

CIMA S.p.A. is already working for the future: the usual commitment and energy are dedicated to the creation of constantly cutting-edge products.
Because CIMA must always be one step ahead of the others, keeping on demonstrate its value and the impact it has on the agricultural sector; to succeed we must preserve what makes us unique, the quality that distinguishes us, the attention to the customer, the respect for the environment and the constant technological innovation. With the aim of simplifying the management of the operations that the user must carry out and bringing ever greater efficiency in the treatment.
