Our History

The story begins a long time ago, in 1946, when Didimo Zanetti and his brother Augusto began an artisan enterprise in the mechanical sector.

The Second World War had just ended, everything had to be rebuilt and no one realized the magnitude of opportunities that lay ahead. In fact, many skilled and experienced technicians, who had been dismissed from companies such as the historical Ducati in Bologna (which had major job orders during the war that ceased with the end of the conflict), were now unemployed and desperate. But, in a sense, this turned out to be their stroke of luck because they unwittingly created companies that today still maintain high quality levels, especially in the gears sector, such as the Zanetti brothers who parted over the years and gave birth to two excellent companies, the Didimo Zanetti and the Zanetti Augusto. In 1986, exactly forty years later, DZ TRASMISSIONI was founded from a branch of Didimo Zanetti. The first right-angle gear drive projects date back to 1979 and since then, until 1986, right-angle gear drives were manufactured and marketed by the “parent company”. In 1996 DZ TRASMISSIONI became independent, but even today Didimo Zanetti (which over time rejoined his brother’s company through Andrea Zanetti, Didimo’s son, hence boasting two production units in Bologna and in Aprilia), with over 200 employees skilled in manufacturing bevel gears, is a supplier of great value of GLEASON bevel gears, which are the throbbing heart of DZ TRASMISSIONI’s angular gears. 2021 is another important year for DZ, which, following the merger by incorporation, becomes part of the Transtecno Group.
