ORAZIO SPANESI, FOUNDER

Orazio Spanesi is the proof. Raised with an innate vocation for cars and mechanics, in 1969, Orazio Spanesi’s first dream came true when he opened a body shop in a small town in the province of Padova. Driven by his thirst to learn everything there was to know about the sector, he began travelling, first around Italy, then around the world. This was how he came to realize the inadequacy of the repair systems in use at the time, which were too slow and too complicated. In 1989, he decided to set up his own company in which he sought the involvement of his family. Thanks to a series of brilliant technical hunches, in just a few years he succeeded in developing a range of products that included the Spanesi universal jig and the totem lift that revolutionized the market and brought the brand success. Spanesi today is a leading producer at international level, but its defining spirit is still that of its founding father in constant pursuit of the most effective solutions to help body technicians perform repairs to a standard you could call an art.
