The company started its industrial activity in 1960. In those years, they focused on equipment production, metallurgy services and parts machining for several industries.

In 1965, the first contacts were made with the oil companies in the region for supply of several types of parts and spare parts.

In 1970, the first prototype press for obtaining sunflower oil was designed and manufactured, being this press the first piece of equipment developed entirely in Argentina. The press was installed in 1971 in Aceitera Santa Clara, a leading company in those years and nowadays a unit of Molinos Río de la Plata.

The results obtained were the cause for which, in 1975, Aceitera Santa Clara hired the manufacturing of a set of 5 presses and their complemental installations and this was the first work of significant extent done by the company.

At the same time of activity growth, business development occurred by adding industrial plant surface and by incorporating equipment and specialized personnel.

Over the years and because of the constant growth of the oilseed industry, our solid presence in the region added to a strong sense of respect towards our clients and to the reliability of our solutions, have positioned us in the eye of major international suppliers for the sector, who have seen in ALLOCCO a qualified partner for their operations throughout the region.

That is how, in different stages we have been strategic partners of EX-TECHNIK (today KRUPP from Germany) and CROWN IRON WORK COMPANY in the United States of America.

These business links for the local market were the initial framework for our first operations in global markets.

Consecutive milestones in our industrial background are the more than one thousand five hundred equipments installed and the different key-in-hand supplies performed.
