Vision
Ever lighter and quieter machines are entering everyday life. Guaranteeing their performance and durability takes precision, deep knowledge of innovative materials and the ability to understand those replacing metal with plastic.
It all started with an idea: plastic instead of metal.
In the early 1980s Francesco Albiero decided to use plastics for mechanical applications such as gate racks. Stagnoli was born from that insight.
Francesco still offers the company his advice and know-how, together with the technical and sales staff who are the heart of Stagnoli. We have always chosen to manufacture in Italy: we design, mould and assemble in Lonato del Garda, and export to 50 countries.
Progettiamo e produciamo in Italia.
Stampaggio, montaggio e collaudo nei nostri reparti di Lonato del Garda: ogni cremagliera e ogni semaforo nasce qui.
Mission
We develop metal replacement solutions that ensure precision, quiet running, lightness and high performance in motion transmission systems, listening to the specific needs of those who come to us.

Patents
Two patents that changed gate racks.
1988
Residential rack
Iron doesn't insulate, needs lubricating, oxidises and is noisy. Others had already tried non-ferrous materials, without success. Our rack, moulded in three segments onto the steel bar, was straight and reliable under load from day one. Today the metre comes out as a single piece.
2016
Power rack
For gates over 1,000 kg we redesigned the fixing: three fixing points instead of one spread the load and reduce bending. With the new material and the filleted tooth, capacity rose by 50%.
Made in Italy
Showing the world what we can do.
We have always chosen to manufacture in Italy, focusing on quality, innovation and design. We choose the raw materials, we define the moulding process, we do the quality testing.
