Founded in Milan by Marily Cambiaghi (Administration) and Danilo Cambiaghi (Design) as an engineering company for the design of special machinery.
Joining ESA's EURECA Project as the unique hardware supplier for the SFA experiment, the vibration issue comes to the forefront.
CENTROTECNICA acquires an electrodynamic shaker. It’s the start of testing house service and collaboration with Belotti Sistemi.
A head expander was commissioned to the Design Office, the first one to be produced by CENTROTECNICA.
Centrotecnica designed and constructed the first VST slip table (Vacuum Slip Table) covered by patent.
Accreditation of the Calibration Center (number 00155).
Achieved the ISO9001 company certification.
Centrotecnica Sas is joined by a new company structure: Centrotecnica Srl, dedicated exclusively to environmental testing with a focus on mechanical vibration testing. Eng. Andrea Cambiaghi takes the lead. At the same time, a new, larger facility is inaugurated in Peschiera Borromeo.
Creation of the first RT series slip table, which will become the flagship product exported all over the world.
Once again more space is needed, moving to Masate (MI).
Technical partnership with IMV Corporation to supply slip tables for their electrodynamic shakers.
16 years after the Calibration Center, also the Testing House gets the ILAC-MRA Accredia accreditation (n. 00155), a big first step in the direction of world markets.
Purchasing of a third hub to host our departments: Laboratory, Production, Design, R&D, Sales and Administration.
Additive manufacturing technology is introduced into the R&D department. Initially used to support the production of the most sophisticated custom fixtures, it is gradually rolled out to other areas.
A 200 kN shaker becomes operational inside a cleanroom. It is the most powerful of its kind in Italy and is mainly dedicated to satellites. The laboratory becomes a European benchmark for space testing - An abstract from the R&D department is selected for presentation at IAC24, highlighting calculation procedures—applicable exclusively to the brand new RT-SP series slip tables—that redefine accuracy margins in vibration testing.
Thales Alenia Space’s state-of-the-art Space Factory equips its satellite testing line with Centrotecnica’s RT 2500 SP slip table and GHE 2500 guided expander. Our products have effectively become a global benchmark for quality and performance.
Construction of Building "19" is finalized, significantly expanding operational space across all departments - A new testing room is completed, featuring a 4Poster rig and the TWINS system, an exclusive setup for railway underbody testing - Centrotecnica delivers its largest slip table ever built: an RT 3200 S with a 3200x3200 mm modular plate, specifically designed for combined battery testing.
