EPSE treatment go back to a Pirkanmaa-based pickling company in the early 2000s. At the time, Vesa Rissanen, the inventor of the EPSE method, owned a pickling company which did hard chrome plating for airplane parts. The process involved the dissolution of numerous metals in an acid which ultimately became hazardous waste. Together with a friend, who was also an entrepreneur, Rissanen began to think about how to get rid of the heavy expenses and finally, following numerous tests, he managed to precipitate the acid in such a way that the end result consisted of clean water and a multimetal precipitate. But then the airplane factory closed, and the chrome plating business came to an end. For years, the precipitation formulae remained in a desk drawer.

MG2 was founded in Bologna in spring 1966 by Ernesto Gamberini, a young designer of automatic machines, who involved a colleague and an aunt, as backer.The first location of the company was in a small warehouse in Bologna outskirts and there, he started to design and produce automatic machines for the food and pharmaceuticals industries.
In 1967 MG2 received its first order for a capsule filling machine suitable to dose pharmaceuticals into hard-shell capsules: this product would get so much success to become the core-business of the company. In fact, thanks to the experience and the enthusiasm of the founding members, since the beginning MG2 has been able to guarantee the production of machines which join innovation, reliability, productivity and accuracy: these aspects will accompany the whole story of MG2.
The real intuition of Gamberini consisted in applying to the capsule fillers, for the first time in the world, the
continuous rotation movement in replacement of the alternated movement: this principle was applied to the project of the mythical Model G36. This technology, protected by a patent, completely changed the way to design and construct this type of machines, thus consistently contributing to their technological development. MG2 has been exclusive producer of this type of machines for long time and still now, MG2 is a leader worldwide for this kind of automatic machines.
Over the years, MG2 growth continued and the company developed more and more perfect products on the technological and functional point of view. Modern computer technologies together with big investments in R&D allowed to join innovation to the almost “craft-type” experience of the company, thus leading MG2 up to become a landmark for the state of art in its sector.
MG2 headquarter is based in Pianoro (Bologna), the heart of the "Packaging Valley" of the town, but the main goal of the company remains the international market to which 90% approximately of the turnover is exported. MG2 presence abroad is well established also thanks to the historical branch in United States. MG2 can rely on both a network for direct sales in Italy and 40 agents all over the world.
Topjet's story began in 1990 as a company created by two friends, Benassi & Caselli, who decided to consolidate their partnership and merge their experiences to generate a trustable company, that one day, could grow and spread the well-being to everybody who constantly contributes to the realization of their projects. TOPJET primarily began its business activities in the ceramic tile industry, offering labeling systems, high-efficiency industrial marking, selling and supplying goods at the regional level, to then move nationally, in EU and internationally.
In those years, the ceramic sector of the district lived a strong ferment, bringing Topjet to a rapid growth in turnover in a short time. In 2000 Zanasi Giuseppe joined the company and in 2000 IBERTOPJET Spain was founded, created by the 3 partners Zanasi, Caselli, and Benassi who sign a new partnership with Mr. Manfredini Franco, who with his nearly 80 years lives in Spain and manages IBERTOPJET directly and in close relationship with Topjet.
Since the beginning, Topjet has always based its strategy on strict guidelines, aimed at full customer satisfaction, including the compliance with current and future legislation and consequently gained the respect of the customer, from the first contact until finalization of the work, and a desire to demonstrate the real quality of our machinery. «The customer should always be in the center of the attention. He participates with Topjet in the development and improvements of new products while respecting the highest quality standards». The value of company products is now consolidated and recognized on the market by operators in the sector.
