Authorized Casappa Distributor in Italy
Casappa: Made in Italy hydraulic pumps and motors since 1952
Since 1952, Casappa has been designing and manufacturing hydraulic pumps and motors in the heart of the Parma industrial district. Founded by Roberto Casappa with the historic “Pompa d’oro”—the first Italian gear pump built as a replacement part for American dump trucks left in Italy after the war – the company is now led by the third generation of the Casappa family through the holding company FINREL S.p.A., with a consolidated turnover of 200 million euros and approximately 1,000 employees. Since March 2026, the Casappa brand has been listed in the Special Register of Historic Brands of National Interest.
The group operates five production facilities in Italy (Lemignano di Collecchio, headquarters with the new 10,300-square-meter Logistics Hub inaugurated in 2024), the United States (Batavia, Illinois), China (Shanghai), India (Bangalore), and South Korea, with a sales network spanning all continents. The portfolio expanded in 1997 with Ikron (hydraulic filters) and in 2022 with Tecnord (electronic controls), creating an integrated pump + filter + electronics supply chain under a single family-run management.
Casappa has been ISO 9001 certified since 2002 and has obtained and maintained Caterpillar’s SQEP (Supplier Quality Excellence Process) certification at its three main plants (Italy, China, USA), one of the most stringent certifications for OEM suppliers in the earthmoving sector. The products are installed on tractors, combine harvesters, excavators, articulated dump trucks, wheel loaders, forklifts, balers, and machine tools from the world’s leading manufacturers.
The sectors where Casappa makes a difference
Casappa is a leader in mobile and industrial applications. The sectors where it excels, particularly relevant to the TFS portfolio:
- Agricultural machinery – tractors, combine harvesters, sprayers, brush cutters, balers, seeders, front loaders: POLARIS PLP pump on the main circuit, gear dividers for cylinder synchronization, Ikron filters in the tank.

- Industrial and on-highway vehicles – construction vehicles, roll-off trucks, cranes, compactors, buses: cast iron PHP pumps for PTO, 400 bar TVP pumps for heavy-duty applications, LFP/LFM pumps for closed circuits.
- Lifting and transport – telescopic handlers, forklifts, aerial work platforms: PHP/PH pumps for skid steers and forklifts, MVP pumps for lifting, pressure dividers for boom synchronization.
- Stationary industry – presses, machining centers, machine tools, rolling mills, packaging: KAPPA, MAGNUM, and HDP cast iron pumps, A10VSO interchangeable LVP pumps for centralized systems.
- Extractive and mining – mining machinery, articulated dump trucks for quarries, large-sized shovels: MAGNUM Group 40 pumps up to 180.73 cm³/rev and STRADA pumps up to 110 cm³/rev / 400 bar.
