The Camisa brothers, Mario and Giuseppe, took their first steps into the world of business in 1954 in the small workshop of Serra di Bedonia (Parma), Italy. Mario, drawing from his apprenticeship in a mechanical workshop and assisted by Giuseppe, initially dedicated their efforts to repairing and constructing manual agricultural tools, alongside farrier activities. This evolved into repairing ploughs and agricultural machinery, marking the beginning of a 71-year legacy for what is now CAMISA s.n.c.

    Their resourcefulness and ingenuity led the brothers to officially enter the ranks of agricultural machinery manufacturers in 1961, upon obtaining their first "Patent for Industrial Invention" for the "Cassone con ruote applicabile a motofalciatrice" (wheeled carrier applicable to motor mowers). This machine, commonly called "Torello" or affectionately "Sputnik" by the numerous farmers of the Taro and Ceno Valleys who used it, heralded the era of the "Motoagricola - Transporter" for the company. This agricultural transport vehicle quickly gained popularity throughout Italy and was successfully introduced to foreign markets, including France, Switzerland, and Burundi in Central Africa.

    During the 1970s, the company diversified by adding a new production line: "Motocarriole a ruote" (wheeled motorized barrows/transporters), innovative transport systems for both agricultural and construction fields. By the end of the 1980s, the evolution of this vehicle concept gave rise to the first "Tracked transporters" of Italian construction, a product line now available in a wide array of versions. The "Trattorini" (compact tracked tractors) also joined the tracked line in the 1990s, a period which also saw the commencement of construction for the company's current "Trattrici" (tractors) and "Operatrici" (specialized self-propelled operating machines).

    A significant leadership transition occurred in 1998 when the reins of the company passed to Roberto and Massimo, Mario's sons, both of whom had joined the company at a very young age. The two founders then took on supervisory roles. The family nature of the company has become even more pronounced in recent years, with the active collaboration of the partners' wives and Roberto's children, signaling a smooth progression towards the third generation of family involvement.

    In the meantime, CAMISA s.n.c. has continued to broaden its horizons in foreign markets. Currently, exports are significantly directed towards the United States, particularly for the railway maintenance sector. Key European markets include the United Kingdom and Denmark, which primarily purchase transporters for the construction sector, as well as France, Switzerland, Austria, and Germany, where the company's line of tracked vehicles equipped for viticulture is exported. The ongoing search for niche markets requiring diversified and high-quality equipment means that the company is continually studying and developing new machines to offer its customers. Among these new products are tracked transporters equipped with atomizers for fruit and wine growing in high-mountain terrains and specialized units equipped for cleaning beaches.
