This is the story of MultiOne—where the past inspires the present, and innovation drives the future.
1998: The Birth of a Vision
MultiOne was born from a bold aspiration: to design compact, multifunctional equipment that combines versatility with superior performance. Formerly known as C.S.F. srl, the company was founded in 1998, building on a legacy of agricultural equipment manufacturing since 1969, including round balers, seed drills, and irrigators. This vision laid the groundwork for a company destined to transform workflows across industries, setting new benchmarks in design and functionality.
1999 to 2001: The Early Years
In 1999, MultiOne introduced its first compact articulated loaders, establishing itself as a pioneer in the industry. These machines delivered unmatched maneuverability and innovation, featuring advanced hydraulic systems and versatile attachments.
By 2001, MultiOne offered the widest range of mini loaders, with 11 models and power outputs ranging from 13 to 50 HP.
2001 to 2007: Consolidation and Growth
To support its growth, MultiOne established a new headquarters in Grumolo delle Abbadesse, Italy, in 2001, featuring an 8,000 sqm production facility. During this period, the company upgraded its entire range to include new frames, telescopic booms, and improved hydraulic circuits under the “Evolution” series.
Production capabilities were enhanced with an in-house frame manufacturing plant, laser cutting, bending machines, and robotic welding stations. In 2007, a second building was constructed for assembly lines, further boosting production capacity.
2007 to 2014: New Projects and Sustainability
MultiOne introduced four new generations of loaders during this period, setting benchmarks with spacious cabins, ergonomic controls, and unmatched performance. Highlights included the GT950, capable of lifting 1.5-ton pallets to a height of 3 meters—still unmatched in its class.
In 2012, MultiOne installed a 550 kW solar panel system on its building roofs, showcasing its commitment to sustainability.
2014 to 2020: Performance and Quality
MultiOne redefined the mini loader market with a redesigned architecture, delivering best-in-class cabins, superior driver comfort, and enhanced reliability. Factory automation was improved with advanced laser cutting, robotic welding, and a semi-automatic powder coating plant.
In 2015, the company launched the 10 Series and the EZ Series (Emission Zero), introducing electric loaders with the largest battery capacity in the market. In 2014, MultiOne was recognized as a “Top Performer” for quality control and production excellence.
2020 to Present: Leadership and Innovation
In 2020, MultiOne expanded its reach through a distribution agreement with Vermeer, leveraging Vermeer’s network to grow in the North American market. The flagship 11.9 K model was launched, featuring advanced innovations such as OneDrive, Cruise Control, ACI, and unbreakable body panels, setting new standards for speed, tipping load, and lifting height.
2021: The Beginning of a Transition
In 2021, Lifco AB acquired the majority of MultiOne’s ownership, while Vermeer acquired 20%, strengthening their strategic partnership. This transition aimed to enhance market presence, operational efficiency, and innovation, aligning with Lifco’s focus on long-term growth and profitability.
Looking Ahead: Always Innovating
