called to Legnano to manage “Cantoni Krumm & C.”,
a steam engine and boiler manufacturer, which
thanks to Tosi’s work remarkably expanded its opera-
tions. Franco Tosi, an industrial pioneer, devoted him-
self to study and build reciprocating steam engines
that in a few years gained a reputation both in Italy
and internationally.

THE FIRST “TOSI ENGINE”, WITH A POWER OF 3 HP,

DATES BACK TO 1877 AND IN 1881 THE FIRST 40
TO 50 HP RYDER STEAM ENGINE WAS PRODUCED.

Tosi’s entrepreneurial vision and undisputed design

skills found their accomplishment with the advent of
the first power plants. His steam engines definitely
conquered both the domestic and the international
markets. In a few years Franco Tosi became a share-
holder and then, in 1884, the sole owner of a pio-
neer company in the energy sector that has borne his
name since 1881.

A name that still today is renowned all over the world.

Besides having excellent technical skills and being an
eminent industrialist, Franco Tosi was also a model
