In 1993 as the result of new space needs, Boano & Co. moved to a new factory in Rivoli and in the mean time the production of parts to customer design has become its main business.
In 2000 the company first obtained the Quality Certification according UNI EN ISO 9000 standards.
In 2006, due to the continuous evolution of the work and expansion in terms of personnel and equipments, the company bought a new industrial building in a mirror image of the previous one, doubling the production area.
In 2008 the company acquired a grinding (abrasive cutting) company and opened a new department to be more comprehensive in its range of components.
