Our Story

Our story begins in 1854, when Riccardo Baron founded his first business in Vicenza as a manufacturer of scales for commerce and industry.

Since then, we have spanned generations, evolving and adapting to market changes with dedication and innovation. This longevity is the result of our combination of commitment, courage, and adaptability, which has allowed us to maintain a leading role in the weighing industry for over 170 years.

Innovation

A Journey of Continuous Innovation

Innovation has always been at the heart of our company philosophy.

With the advent of electronics, the fourth generation of the Baron family decided to establish the on-board weighing division, continuing a path of ongoing technological evolution.

Over the years, we have expanded our product range to include on-board RFID identification systems and tools for smart bins, always with the goal of combining quality, reliability, and sustainability.

This approach has allowed us to grow steadily, both nationally and internationally, with the opening of branches in France and Spain.
