The Company 

The first 85 years: the future of the Company

Founded in 1928 in Brescia by Renzo Torchiani, the company began its activity producing home detergents, in particular the famous �€�lye�€�. The company has increasingly extended the production, offering chemicals for industry, agriculture, and other economic sectors. Currently the company is headed by the third generation of the Torchiani family. It has recently launched a process of development with acquisitions and takeovers aimed at expanding its market and business area which currently covers the North-Centre of Italy.

Mergers and Acquisitions

History from 1928

We have gone a long way since Renzo Torchiani first founded his detergent factory in Brescia back in 1928: Torchiani Srl now serves over 2500 customers in Lombardy and the neighbouring regions.

Our business

We now deal in chemical products for various industrial and business fields: from metal treatment to wastewater treatment, from detergents to lubricants for special uses, from rubber to the pharmaceutical industry, as well as hundreds of other chemical products for specific industrial sectors.

Quality and flexibility

have always been our distinctive features on which we intend to invest with growing efforts in order to offer our customers an increasingly wide range of products and the advantages of a qualified service..

Development of our product range

The recent acquisition of Baslini Trade (a company specialising in the manufacture of rubber and traditional chemistry, founded in 2006 after the spin-off of Baslini SpA) and Ghianda Prodotti Chimici Srl (leader in the production of pharmaceutical compounds) enabled us to further develop our product range, and this is one of the main features on which Torchiani Srl has based its market positioning.

This choice was adequately

supported by investments in facilities with the aim of making our plant fully operative and optimising our customer service. At the same time we renewed and developed our fleet of vehicles. All this was done in full respect of the surrounding environment, which we always try to maintain green and healthy both for those who work there and for those who live nearby.

On this matter we would like to point out 

that in our plant in Brescia no chemical substances are produced: in fact, the plant's main functions are storage, dilution of base substances, transport and marketing of products
