Founded in 1927, Bracco opened its first Milan plant in 1930, whose floor plan still inspires the hexagon in its logo. In 1953 the large new Lambrate plant was completed, still the company's headquarters today. Bracco's history is tied to contrast media: it is a world leader in second-generation non-ionic contrast agents and also produces anti-tuberculosis drugs. In the late 1980s it built a major new plant in Ceriano Laghetto (MB). Four decades of acquisitions and new divisions and subsidiaries worldwide followed. Today Bracco is an international leader in diagnostic imaging, with products and solutions for every diagnostic modality. Mozzanica has been present at Bracco for over twenty years with several installations, and has maintained them ever since. One stand-out project is the structure engineered by Mozzanica to draw water from an existing basin at the Ceriano Laghetto site. The heart of the fire protection system is an NFPA 20 pumping station assembled in a container, with one electric pump and one vertical-shaft diesel pump rated 640 m³/h at 8.5 bar.
