ONCE UPON A TIME
The company’s founder, Paolino Bacci, decides to start a small production of vertical band saws for the local furniture district. Machines immediately acknowledged on the market as superior quality equipment due to their rigidity and reliability.
1950
AN INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION BEGINS
The company decides to begin manufacturing machines specialized in mass-production of chair components, an industry in which, at the time, Italy was a world wide leader (50% of chairs on the European market and 30% of chairs on the world market were at the time manufactured in North-eastern Italy). Thanks to the technical innovation and high quality of the machines produced, in 40 years BACCI has sold over 4000 machines in the Italian chair manufacturing district located in North-eastern Italy.
1986
1st ITALIAN "CHALLENGER" AWARDED COMPANY
Our company’s innovative capacity was confirmed when BACCI became the first Italian company in the sector to be achieve this important award, the U.S.A Challengers Award, the prestigious award bestowed by the International Woodworking Fair (IWF) in Atlanta.

1995
OUR FIRST CNC MACHINING CENTRE
In the mid 90’s, to meet market demands and satisfy the growing request for production flexibility, Bacci introduces the first 5-axes CNC: thus, no longer just machines specialized for the chair manufacturing industry, but flexible machines capable of covering others applications. Since then, our 5-axes CNC machining centers have become the company’s core business.
1998
FIRST DOUBLE HEAD MACHINE
In 1998, BACCI became the first company in the world to manufacture 5-axes CNC machining centers with double heads, able to machine the same piece with two working heads simultaneously. To date, Bacci is still the only company able of manufacturing double machines with these features. This is made possible thanks to a powerful and innovative software (Pitagora) that is capable of managing the relative position of the 2 operating units, avoiding all risks of collisions. This type of machine delivers both high flexibility of use and high productivity.
