ADR celebrates 70 years
A great milestone for ADR: the company in Uboldo (Italy) celebrates 70 years.
ADR Group, specialized in the production of axles and suspensions, was founded in 1954 in Uboldo (Italy) by Giovanni Radrizzani and Antonietta Airoldi. This year, they are celebrating their 70th anniversary. This milestone was celebrated with the book "Profumo di Ferro e Caffè" and a series of events, including one recently held at the Garden Toscana Resort. The event was attended by all ADR Group employees from the various countries where the 15 companies of the group are located.
ADR’s story began in Uboldo, in 1954, thanks to Giovanni Radrizzani and Antonietta Airoldi. The company’s first core was located in the town center, in a 50-square-meter garage, and the first products were brass pipettes for gas stoves. The company was family-owned, with Flavio and Giancarlo actively involved from a young age, helping their parents with the work.
In 1977, the company changed its name from "Giovanni Radrizzani e Figli" to ADR s.n.c. ("Assali Dischi Radrizzani"), and the family began producing and selling axles for agricultural machinery, expanding its customer base and increasing the number of employees. Since the 1980s, ADR started expanding across Europe and the world, and today the group has several locations in Europe, America, and Asia.
The book "Profumo di Ferro e Caffè", published by Nomos Edizioni, was written by Chiara Rosa Cavelli and tells the story of ADR and its employees. The company’s journey, from its beginnings to the present day, has been reconstructed through testimonies and stories from President Flavio Radrizzani, the management team, and both historical and current collaborators of the ADR Group. The book was presented on Saturday, September 14, during a gala dinner at the Garden Toscana Resort, following a day of team-building activities with the group’s employees from around the world.
"Seventy years of ADR is a great milestone," said Flavio Radrizzani, President of the Group. "Over the years, thousands of people have passed through ADR, each contributing to the growth and establishment of the company worldwide. Our sincere thanks go to everyone, especially those whose memories have helped us share this adventure in Profumo di Ferro e Caffè."
