Our history Born in 1954 under the name Goffi Snc, the company manufactured props, gates, railings and wheelbarrows entirely made of metal, a ground-breaking novelty back in the day for this equipment mainly made of wood back then. This paved the way for 20 years of success, marked by major investments in procuring leading-edge machines and constructing new production spaces, with the aim of delivering considerable orders. This helped Goffi to stand out from the crowd becoming one of the top players in the Italian construction industry in the late 70s. In the early 80s, construction products...
