Italplant was founded in 1981, when our founder Giorgio C. Gay, a mechanical engineer, began collaborating with Manifold Indexing, a leading company in the United Kingdom in the construction of indexers.

The collaboration between Gay and John Reeve, theoretical mathematician at the head of Manifold, has given many results: among these, one of the most important is the design of a revolutionary series of MK1 cylindrical cam indexers, in addition to the revision of other large indexers, with globoidal cam and through hole.
