our mission
since 1949.

In 1949, Columbia slicing machines already had a very clear mission: to create a perfect machine to keep the Made in Italy flag flying high.

Thus, the first collection of 6 hand operated slicing machines was produced addressed exclusively to the local market. Thanks to their excellent reliability and precision, the Columbia slicing machines met with immediate success! Even during the economic boom of the fifties, when the demand for slicing machines grew considerably further to the opening of numerous grocery shops, Columbia was not concerned about speeding up its production process as he was still firmly convinced that to produce something excellent, you must take all the time that is needed! This is how ours slicing machines came onto the home and international markets, with a solid image of top quality which permitted us to resist the constantly changing market and still be able to offer the best quality now available in the market.
