The couple composed of Maria Kanzler Menegotti and Erwino Menegotti dreamt of creating their own business. At a time when the activities were predominantly concerned with the working in the fields, with only four employees Menegotti produced axes, hoes, scythes and repaired carts.

In only ten years, Erwino Menegotti ironworks had already tripled its facilities and diversified its production. Attentive to the needs of the city, Menegotti also came to produce agricultural implements, trimmers, and rice ryers and cooler, and was already recognized then for the quality of its products under the brand “Silver Steel”.

The mixer division had a great incentive from Menegotti with massive investments. The assembly line was highly qualified and equipped in 1967 to produce the first Menegotti mixer. This product put the company in the lead of this market in Brazil and in Latin America.

The ideal from the founding was a reality in 1980, despite the great competition. With the passing of its founder, on December 27 of 1983 at seventy-three years of age, Sigolf Schünke and his wife Cacilda Menegotti Schünke took over the direction of the company.

In 1988, in the City of Schroeder, in Santa Catarina, the activities of the Foundry division of Menegotti continued at a modern industrial park with leading-edge technology. Pieces of gray, nodular, and white cast iron were
already being produced to international standards and norms.
