A Family Secret

It is the slow, daily repetition of a gesture, day by day, year after year, from father to son, and beyond, until it becomes more than a skill, more than a trade; it becomes part of the body, of the arm that performs it, of the gaze that controls its accuracy, of the ear that listens to the rhythmic strike of the hammer on the glowing metal.

A gesture that shapes the artifact, that forges the blade, that strengthens the handles, that refines every detail with the wisdom derived from 200 years of tradition.

This is the secret of our tools.

Each of them encapsulates the memory of an ancient gesture, the history of a family that, even before memory serves, has been producing billhooks, axes, hammers, and agricultural and construction tools with artisanal techniques perfected over time, reaching an unparalleled level of quality.

The Rinaldi family, deeply rooted in the upper Val Brembilla, embodies the true Orobic spirit: a total dedication to work and duties, combined with a profound pride in their identity.

A common thread links the generations, also symbolized by a centuries-old tradition: the eldest male child has always carried the name Bernardo, guardian of a legacy of values and an indissoluble bond with their origins.

From generation to generation

The Rinaldi family has been carrying on this craft for as long as anyone can remember, passing it down with passion from father to son.

The first documented traces of our activity date back to 1780, with invoices that already then attested to the production of agricultural tools by our ancestors.

A craft perfected from generation to generation, both in production processes and in the quality of the finished product.

This continuous evolution still continues today.

In 2020, Pietro Rinaldi and his son Enrico took over, acquiring the company from their brothers and giving it new life.

They have managed to combine respect for artisanal tradition with the audacity of innovation, integrating cutting-edge technologies alongside precious historical machinery: from modern induction furnaces to robotic islands.

A bridge between past and future, to forge tools that are legends today and will be tomorrow.
