TGF, was founded in 1967 by Testa Aniello (aka Gerino) in Fabbrico, Italy. Hence the name TGF. It is now the life work of Maristella Testa (daughter of Gerino), and William Ferrari.
In 1980, the production plant relocated to a new facility, in the industrial parkway between Rolo and Fabbrico, where it still operates today. In this same year, TGF merged with a company named Micromeccanica. This company was created in 1973 in Reggiolo, Italy and then moved to Fabbrico a few years later.
