The history of PREO started in 1938 when Mr. Antonio Preo founded "Officine Meccaniche PREO” as a producer of precision and measuring instruments. Thanks to the hard work of the early years, the company expanded in the 1960s and became a reference, also at European level, in the production of high-precision parts for various industrial sectors, including the medical, optical, aeronautical and military industries.
Towards the end of the 1980s, PREO, thanks to its qualified experience and know-how, directed its activities towards the design, production and sale of hot-melt adhesive application systems with the aim of becoming one of the world’s leading manufacturers. In just a few years, thanks to the excellent skills acquired from its many years of experience in the aeronautical sector and constant research and development, PREO has established itself in the international arena for the reliability and innovation of its products, and it has become a leader in the development of standard machines as well as in the design of customised solutions and systems.
The company, located on the outskirts of Milan, conducts its business on an area of about 4,000 square meters divided into two large buildings; it has further increased its production in recent years by expanding into the world market through acquisitions and partnerships with foreign companies. Historic results have been recently achieved that have led to major growth in both sales and increased exports. For the first time, 1,000 systems sold and installed in a single year was exceeded, demonstrating how PREO has definitely established and consolidated itself as one of the world’s leading and most reliable manufacturers. PREO is the typical Italian medium-sized, highly specialized, ISO 9001-certified company that, making use of a staff of qualified technicians and a fleet of the most modern machines, has developed an important all-Italian technical-commercial and production structure in the field of hot melt adhesive application machines, further strengthening the image of Made in Italy in the world.
Thanks to an extensive distribution network both nationwide and in more than 60 countries, a winning sales policy, and fast and efficient sales and after-sales service, PREO is able to offer the best possible solution to all gluing needs in multiple industries.
