Welcome on earth
Brumi’s history is closely connected to the mechanization of Italian agriculture. It follows the postwar economic boom period and contributes to the growth of the Italian agricultural compartment on the foreign markets. Its recent history is that of a company that has learned how to invest in innovation and new technologies, reading the necessities and the transformation of the sector, capitalizing the company historical values, always convinced of the need for a bio and eco-compatible economic development.
1955
MPM SICILIA Tenacity, ambition, foresight. Matteo Pitanza, founder of MPM Sicilia SpA (Matteo Pitanza Machineries), embodied in himself the company’s qualities and mission: make the agriculture advance, by providing it with tools able to make both the sector more efficient and the man’s work more effective. That’s how it started, with the import and commercialization of agricultural products, from fertilizers to the first German motor hoes.
1961
UNIVERSAL IS BORN. Genuine masterwork of simplicity and reliability, the first great marketing success of the company. The sale goes suddenly up, from 300 to 7.000 annual motor hoes, also thanks to the contribution of the top range small Klein and the futuristic Special.
1965
BECOMING TWO. It’s already time for a second manufacturing establishment, to be strategically localised in North-Central Italy (Casalecchio di Reno, Bologna), to best serve a demand that becomes more and more international.
1969
EVERYTHING. MORE. The range of products grows, adding agricultural tractors, walking tractors and motor mowers, and even achieving the creation of a street vehicle (Brumi Buggy) and a “Brumi Sea” division, to commercialize water scooters.
1973
LA PULCE (FLEA). A GIANT. BRUMI’s second best seller is achieved: “la Pulce” (the flea), a small marvel of practicality, lightness and manageability. All of this in parallel with the internationalization process that brings the company to compete with Honda in Europe. The sales of the “Pulce” exceed the 15,000 annual units, with a foreign share of more than 70%.
1983
THE CONSECRATION. BRUMI is the first national company in the small and medium mechanization. All the machineries and the tools to work the products are produced inside the three manufacturing establishments, as well as a parallel collection to test the market for special projects, such as the “Brumi Energy Division” (production of power generators), the “Muletto” (hybrid tractor, motor hoe and walking tractor machine), or the “Sottochioma” (awarded in 1988 by UNACOMA and main innovation at the EIMA international Fair).
1995
THE SHAKE THAT WAS NEEDED. The marketing presence spreads over all the European countries and in North Africa. The extensiveness helps to plug the aggressive “invasion” of competitors coming from the East. Interesting research collaborations are established with the Department of Agrarian Engineering of the University of Catania and it is developed the productive segment of machineries for the harvest of olives, that will soon contribute to almost the 50% of the company’s turnover.
2016
THE SECOND "MATTEO". Now’s the time for young Matteo, who doesn’t only take his name after his grandfather, but - according to the company’s historical figures - also a great deal of his character’s qualities and the essential resourcefulness necessary to relaunch and expand the products’ range. New company functions and a new language come up beside BRUMI’s quality of all time, to grant a flourishing future to an Italian great business history.
BRANDS
In over sixty years of history, Brumi has produced and commercialized through a number of brands that shaped different eras and markets, marking the difference in the tradition of Italian agriculture: beside Brumi, MPM (Matteo Pitanza Machineries) and Brutal, livery still present today in some of the high end products’ collections.
Tecnology
Brumi designs and develops new technologies necessary to offer professional machineries and tools for the agriculture of tomorrow.
MADE IN ITALY
Synonym of quality, the “Italia” manufacture has old roots, and has always combined knowledge and artisan creativity to innovation, attention to detail to the quality of the industrial processes.
MATERIALS
Technopolymers, carbon fiber, aluminium alloys. The challenge is to use more suitable materials and to perfect every detail to provide agricultural operators with the best available machineries on the market.
DESIGN
Ergonomics, weight and, why not, esthetics. The ongoing use of our machineries, directed to professionals, forces us to an accurate design study to maximize safety and every kind of comfort, and therefore the operator’s productivity.
Values
Since the origin of man, it’s from working the soil that he has been able to get support and nourishment, and it’s with the evolution of agricultural systems that he makes his products more available to everybody. It’s a never fully solved research, that Brumi carries onwards by making it a company mission: facilitating the unchanging symbiosis between man and soil, synonym of life.
QUALITY
We have an ethic vision of quality, that’s always been a company value: quality as a pervasive force that inspires discipline and guides us in our decisions and processes. Quality is therefore not just our result and aim, but an ongoing drive and a parameter of inner satisfaction.
RELIABILITY
It always has a strong impact coming across a classic Brumi, finding that it’s in a perfect and functioning state, still essential today for those who, for decades, have been using it as a reliable tool to prepare the soil. It has a great impact, it’s a point of pride … despite it happening very often. Brumi is a science where obsolescence doesn’t exist.
INNOVATION
We are proud of our past, but in Brumi there’s the constant drive to perfect company and product policies. An innovation that involves the addition of young and qualified technicians and a comparison with the international evolution of every kind of technology, that we are ready to adopt if it means another step towards improvement.
