Company foundation
The company was born in Correggio, Italy, from the minds of its founders Terzino Spaggiari and Alberto Alberti, during a period of strong development and expansion in plastic molding, specializing in the production of plastic components for third parties.
New products development:
Axial Fans and Centrifugal Blowers
Starting with an important entrepreneurial intuition, SPAL moves towards the production of electric fans and blowers for the automotive sector. To cope with the steady increase in market demand, it expands its product range and installs its first structured production lines, becoming one of the world's benchmarks in the design and production of electric axial and centrifugal fans for all types of vehicles and applications.
Increasing research and development
SPAL starts in-house production of electric motors used on fans and blowers, gradually winning portions of the market and expanding its product range. Constant evolution and the need to improve production processes lead to the transformation of production lines from manual to semiautomatic in 1999.
