Initial structure of Marsili Hydraulics — Civitanova Marche
Aldo Marsili began with two workers, a lathe and a welder, the part-time collaboration of a draughtsman, and his «Autobianchi Bianchina» for supply and delivery — journeys he personally took across the entire Adriatic coast, Sicily and some parts of the Tyrrhenian Sea.
His experience as a diesel-engine fitter allowed him to design rational installations of his hydraulic cylinders. He hired a worker for onboard systems, bought a drill and a sander; in short, the first earnings — household expenses aside — were reinvested in the company.
He involved his collaborators in studying and testing new products, encouraging functional experimentation to the point of designing and building a dedicated test bench. He went on board fishing vessels in person to check the systems and make the necessary adjustments. «Collaboration» became the motto of the whole company.
Aldo Marsili spent his life refining and developing the product until 2009, the year his son Mario Marsili — who had grown up beside him since 1995 — took over the helm of the company.
To him is owed, in part, the continuous innovation of the product range and the steady effort to capture a growing share of the nautical market.
