Augusto Pettarini trained as a mechanic at the Cantieri Riuniti dell'Adriatico in the years before the Second World War. His duties included being part of the working group in charge of building one of the prototypes of the CANT Z 1018 medium bombardier.

Augusto Pettarini, together with four other partners, founded Pettarini & C. Four years later, Pettarini would become a single-member company with Augusto taking the helm.
Meanwhile, Augusto's son, Giovanni Pettarini, immediately joined the company.

The Company is led by a single shareholder: Augusto Pettarini.

The new millennium brings the first international certification. It's the ISO 9001, relating to 'Quality Management Systems'. For companies, it is a clear indicator of how they pursue customer satisfaction and continuous improvement of their performance within the activities of the business.
In the coming years, ISO 9001 will be joined by two other international certifications.

2004 saw the birth of the first component designed and manufactured for the automotive sector. It is the first step that Pettarini takes into a territory that, from unexplored, will become prosperous with satisfaction.

The second ISO certification comes thirteen years after 9001. IATF 16949 (ex ISO/TS) is a fundamental certification for working in the automotive sector, a sector that in recent years has become the largest for Pettarini in terms of related turnover. The guarantee of quality and added value that the company offers its automotive customers is also well demonstrated by IATF 16949, a real milestone for Pettarini.

In 2018, Pettarini's new headquarter was inaugurated. Still in Manzano, it moves just one kilometre from the old headquarter in Via Fierutta to the premises in Via Maroncelli.
The expansion of space is, however, the real revolution of this period. For offices and the production department it is a major renovation that positively affects the efficiency of processes.

The challenges of 2023 are well identified at Pettarini .
Opening up to sectors that are new or little-explored as yet is a strong driver for the company, which is always capable of inventing innovative solutions and, in so doing, reinventing itself.
The theme of sustainability is the other pillar of these years, with a commitment already witnessed by the installation of two photovoltaic systems for the via Maroncelli headquarters.
