Manta Group – supplying excellence

Home » TMC

TMC was founded in 1996 in Vigano di Gaggiano, a town in the province of Milan. At the beginning, the company dealt with the production of composite material components and cooperated with major companies on the national scene, continuing to operate in Milan until 2006.

Over the years it developed skills in painting components and in 2006 the company moved its operations to Foggia. A year after the move, the company started a process of strong specialization in the sector and in 2009 began painting in the automotive sector, to inaugurate in 2010 the first automated painting system using anthropomorphic robots for anti-corrosive protection for engines meant for overseas markets.

From there it constantly expanded its capabilities in the area of manual and automated painting.

TMC is increasingly focusing on lean manufacturing and digitisation of processes, and sees an increasingly strategic role for research and cooperation activities that can enable it to maintain leadership in its sector.
