We want to amplify the value of the Made in Italy<\/strong> concept in our sector by exporting Italian expertise, passion and innovation along with our products.<\/p>

To this end we starting applying the ISO 9000 standard in 1994 and were UNI EN ISO 9002 certified by ICIM in 1997.<\/p>

We took this one step further; many of our customers operate in the automotive sector so in 2013 we standardised to comply with many aspects of UNI ISO\/TS 16949, which defines the specific requirements for the application of ISO 9001 in the automotive industry.<\/p>

Our product design was also UNI EN ISO 9001 certified in 2014.<\/p>

We started applying the principles of total quality management (TQM) in 2002 to meet the requirements of the EFQM Model, the ultimate European framework for companies seeking to continually improve the levels of satisfaction for customers, staff, partners, suppliers, and external companies.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Mole Ermoli closes the extraction side of the business after the First World War to develop and publicise its own products by creating specific brands for each type of product. Thanks to astute trade promotion, Mole Ermoli succeeds in forging a path in the market and establishing itself as one of the industry\u2019s most influential names.<\/p>

Gaetano Ermoli is bestowed with the Order of Merit for Labour in 1923 and becomes a Cavaliere del Lavoro (Knight of Labour), marking a milestone for Mole Ermoli, which is now recognised as an industry leader.<\/p>

The company begins a new chapter in 1928 by restructuring to become SIMAE (Societ\u00e0 Italiana Mole Abrasive Ermoli - the Ermoli Italian Grinding Wheel Company).<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

SIMAE plays a crucial role during the Second World War and its manufacturing is so strategic for the war effort that 30% of employees are exempted from military service. SIMAE receives several awards from state authorities during the post-war years for its wartime service and continues to improve production with synthetic abrasive products. For example, emery is replaced with synthetic corundum, which is obtained by smelting bauxite (aluminium hydroxide).<\/p>

SIMAE changes company name in 1942 and becomes an S.r.l., a private limited company.<\/p>

King Umberto II makes Luigi Ermoli a Knight of the Order of the Crown of Italy in 1945, and the businessman is also made a Commander of the Military Order of the Knights of Concordia in 1947.<\/p>

SIMAE expands its operations between 1948 and 1949 and opens a new headquarters in Milan primarily for sales and warehousing.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>
