Who we are

Founded in 1946, Centauro has its roots in a solid family industrial experience that began in the 1930s. Since then, the company has established itself as a world leader in the production of band saws, a symbol of quality and reliability in the industry.

Innovation and Range Expansion

In the 1970s, Centauro expanded its offerings by introducing manual and hydraulic lathes, followed later by computerized numerical control (CNC) models. This diversification has enabled the company to meet the needs of an ever-changing market while maintaining its focus on excellence.

A Commitment to Quality: The Inner Foundry

In the 1980s, bucking the trend of other manufacturers, Centauro chose to invest in and develop its own foundry. This strategic decision has enabled the company to control the entire production process, ensuring the highest quality and precision at every stage.

Production Expansion and Global Network

At the same time, the product range has been enriched with trimming, caving and bedaning machines, further consolidating Centauro’s position as a complete supplier to the wood industry. Today, the company has a worldwide presence through a network of 500 dealers, building strong partnerships based on collaboration and trust.

Excellence in Foundry and Third Party Services

Centauro’s foundry, thanks to continuous investment, has also become a benchmark for third-party customers, currently producing more than 90 percent of its capacity on behalf of other companies. This testifies to the company’s high level of expertise and ability to meet the needs of a diverse market.
