In more than 40 years, Chinook S.p.a., set up officially with this name in 1973 by Prevosto S.a.s., active in the compressor component assembly sector since 1957, has earned a position as one of the main reference points in the sector.

In 1978, Ms. Silvana Cremonesi, now President of the company, joined Chinook as administrative employee and, stimulated by her determination, confidence in co-workers and a product of excellent quality and unswerving quality, the company continued to grow and gradually expand, reaching its present staff of around 100 employees.

In September 1999, Chinook S.p.a. incorporated Shamal S.r.l., in order to set up a single, more efficient and more dynamic structure.

Until July 200, the Chinook production facility was located at Bruino (Turin) and divided into four plants. A strong upturn in sales made it necessary to increase the number of staff and to combine the four plants in a single facility at Piossasco: 10.000 sq. m with a total surface area of 26,000 sq. m (of which 10,000 sq m of buildings). Another 3,500 sq. m have just been constructed.

Spurred by the personal capacity and tenacity of Chinook's staff, our company has secured a leading position in its specific market sectors and is projected towards new future goals: from the design and setting up of new production lines, with constant improvement of products already in the catalogue.
