Since 1816, when Domenico Poli started a fishing boat erecting yard in Chioggia (Venezia), Poli’s name has been a synonym of ... commitment and reliability. This yard was gradually enlarged by Domenico’s sons until it became the first to launch a steel steamship in the Adriatic sea ranking itself as the fifth in Italy (1913). The Two World Wars forced the Polis to move their plant first to Milan and later to romanengo and Camisano (Lombardia - North Italy), the present company’s headquarters. Here, production was devoted to mechanical products and since 1952 it has been extended to railway components. In the following years, many patents have been achieved thanks to research and studies on braking system of railway vehicles. Among these patents, those related to isostatic brake discs suitable to high speed service stand out as a guarantee of great technical and economic benefits. Further to many international successes, in 1995 a new manufacturing plant was started where complete electro-hydraulic braking systems for mass transit vehicles are produced. POLI Srl, with its long tradition in railway field, became a WABTEC Company in 2008. Today, POLI is one of the major global manufacturer of complete brake systems, brake equipments and brake components for all kind of railway and tramway vehicles. Our customers are all main carbuilders and Public Authorities worldwide. The ever-growing activity of Poli is currently extending its specialisation in various high tech railway products. read more
