IMR was founded in 1959, driven by the post-war reconstruction period and the new concepts of modern housing. The company immediately recognized the evolution of the private bathroom as a central element of the home and the inevitable industrial spread of sanitary fittings. It was precisely from this pioneering vision that IMR’s technological proposal took shape: manual gravity die casting, which soon began to consolidate in the market.

The rapid development of the sector confirmed this insight: the growing demand required increasingly high-performing, reliable, and productive solutions. In 1980, IMR designed the first low-pressure brass casting plant, a revolutionary technology at the time that marked the beginning of a new production era, of which IMR is proudly a forerunner.

Meanwhile, the company grew, innovated, conquered new markets, and renewed its processes and technologies. With the progressive increase in international demand, the need for a facility in a strategic location for global logistics emerged. In 1992, IMR chose Friuli Venezia Giulia and the port of Trieste as its operational headquarters, a choice that still proves successful today.

From this point onward, IMR established itself worldwide as an authentic expression of industrial Made in Italy, with over 600 clients worldwide and more than 2,000 machines installed. IMR technologies, constantly evolving and replaced by increasingly advanced versions, now focus on automation, production efficiency, and energy efficiency, adapting to a wide range of industrial applications while ensuring the superior quality of cast products.

It is no coincidence that IMR is today recognized as a global leader in machines for sanitary fittings.
With these numbers, we can say that almost everyone has at home or in the office a tap produced with an IMR machine.
