Frequently asked questions
Since when has Vega existed?
Vega was born in 1947 in Cusano Milanino, when Mario Nava founded “Officine Grafiche Mario Nava”. The company took the Vega name in 1960, when his son Giorgio Nava joined the business and together they moved the company to Cusano Milanino, later reaching the current Paderno Dugnano headquarters as the company grew. Today the company is in its third generation of the Nava family, with Jacopo Nava as president since 2019.
What is Meccanica Magentina?
It is Vega’s subsidiary (part of the group since 1995), founded in 1961 and historically a leading Italian producer of window-cutting machines, which today supplies about 90% of the mechanical parts for Vega’s folder gluers. This vertical integration concretely means Vega directly controls the quality of its machines’ most critical mechanical components, rather than depending on external suppliers for this part of production — a factor that affects continuity in spare parts availability even for older machines.
How many machines of the Altair model alone has Vega sold?
As of 2022, Vega had installed its 100th machine in the Altair line, in production since 2003. This is a single model within the range: counting all folder gluers manufactured by Vega since 1947, the total number of machines sold worldwide is markedly higher.
Who leads Vega today?
Jacopo Nava has been president of Vega Srl since 2019, continuing the family-run tradition started by founder Mario Nava in 1947 and continued by Giorgio Nava, the family’s second generation. Jacopo Nava joined the company from a young age, alternating his studies with internships across every department before taking on roles of increasing responsibility.
