Our 60 years
Our history
Looking ahead to the future
The history of the Thor® group begins over 60 years ago in Brianza, when Tubi Thor was founded. During the early years, Tubi Thor’s main activity was the production of hydraulic hoses and industrial hoses on rigid mandrel, especially for petrol bunkering, steel mills and chemical industries. However, it is only in the years ‘70s, through a radical change of strategy, that the Company has been focusing its activities in the production of industrial rubber hoses, by increasing the hose range and therefore expanding the markets supplied. At the same time, a significant process of development begins with the establishment of Thor Sud, a modern manufacturing plant, based in Southern Italy (San Salvo-CH). In fact, it is thanks to the exploitation of the revolutionary patent for the particular production process of the 61 metre hose on a rigid mandrel, that Thor’s brand is now being highly recognized throught the global markets. Nowadays, Thor is a group of companies that includes three production units: Tubi Thor, Thor Sud and Thor JMS. In fact, the establishment of a manufacturing plant in Tunisia is the last venture since 2009. Distribution and representative branches abroad are part of the Group, at the service of international customers.
Today, Thor Group is a family owned company
In fact, in addition to the President Renato Ballerani, the Group is managed by his son Mr Fabio Ballerani and his nephew Mr Federico Ballerani.
