Within a short time the little company began to grow taking on 10 workers and expanding their acquaintances in small and big pasta factories. In 1967  the Niccolai family acquired  all the dies department and the brand of Ricciarelli company; the staff of  Ricciarelli was hired by  Niccolai Trafile and so the company transferred the business into a larger building in Viale Adua , where arrived also the first automatic machine tools for the inserts execution.

In the ‘60s were designed and built the first die washing machines,  while in 1990 born the first  automatic cutting group “Cartrapen” and in 1992 the stamping machines and stamping dies for Pasta Bologna.
