The history of the 12,000-ton press in Terni began in 1934 when the Italian government entrusted the "Terni" company with the implementation of the armament programs which required the preparation of a new fleet of battleships. To eliminate as soon as possible the shortcomings of an industry that was weak in plant engineering.
On 17 July 1934, the Terni Company decided to order the 12,000-ton press from the English company Davy Brothers as part of the infrastructure modernization project. The contribution of the press is decisive both in war and civil production.

Certainly a visit to the Umbrian city will reserve a whole series of surprises.

Its recent industrial history makes it appear different from the other Umbrian cities whose image dates back to the Middle Ages. Terni is alive and in continuous transformation. In the first half of the 20th century, Terni was identified as the dynamic city capable of representing modernity in all its forms of expression. It still maintains this character today and enhances it with its ability to anticipate changes because it is a "city open to innovation".
