Lombardini Srl was an Italian manufacturer of Diesel engines up to 134HP, which is now part of American manufacturer Kohler Co. after acquisition in 2007.
History
The company was founded in Reggio Emilia by brothers Adelmo and Rainero Lombardini in 1933 under the name of “Lombardini Fabbrica Italiana Motori S.p.A.”. Adelmo Lombardini had already been manufacturing combustion engines since 1922 with a company called “Società Anonima Cooperativa Metallurgica” in Novellara (RE).
Along with engines, the company of the two Lombardini brothers manufactured finished products such as pumping sets. After World War II this trend increased with production of agricultural tractors and tillers.
In 1963 a new premise was built in the outskirts of Reggio Emilia which marked the transition to large scale production. Taking advantage of the tumultuous growth of the Italian economy and of the ever-increasing demand for agricultural machinery, Lombardini enjoyed a long and steady expansion, resulting in the company becoming a leader in small agricultural equipment. At this stage, the company decided to abandon production of finished products in order to focus on bare engines alone. This change reflected a strategic decision of the company not to compete against their own customers.
During the years Lombardini became the most prominent Diesel manufacturer in Italy in its range and bought out its competitors one by one. Slanzi, Cotiemme, Acme and lastly Ruggerini company were all bought out and incorporated into Lombardini.
As the growth of the company went on, its structure became more and more that of a modern industrial group. Commercial branches were established in the UK, Spain, France, Germany and US. Aside from the main premises in Reggio Emilia, new factories were established in Rieti (Italy), Czech Republic and India.
In 1999 Lombardini was sold to Mark IV Industries; shortly thereafter they took over their long-time competitor Ruggerini Motori [fr]. In 2007, Lombardini was sold to the American Kohler Company becoming part of its Power Group.
From Wikipedia.
Lombardini Marine, a division of the Lombardini Group, was set up with the specific aim of fitting out and marketing inboard diesel engines and marine generators based on the consolidated and proven FOCS, CHD and JMT units. The division boasts extremely modern and well-equipped facilities and can count on a specialised team as well as over a decade’s experience, to create the most performing and technologically advanced products available in the market today.
History
On 25 November 1933, Adelmo Lombardini and his brothers founded the first Lombardini production factory in Gardenia near Reggio Emilia. An amount of 500 engines were produced in 1934, 482 internal combustion, 18 diesel and 20 employees. After abandoning production of complete products (tractors and motor-driven pumps), the company dedicated itself merely to diesel engines for agriculture, before focusing in developing engines for various new industry fields, always willing to improve. In November 1988, the three-million engine rolled off Lombardini’s production line. In 2007 the company was purchased by the Kohler Group, an American multinational who recognized it as a world leader in diesel engines up to 56 kW. Over the years, Lombardini acquired unrivalled know-how and became popular for quality, reliability and respect for the environment, labour and safety. Company’s engines, whose main feature is versatility, push enterprises in modern economy strategic business such as: construction, industry, automotive and marine, with products destined to mini-cars, professional cleaning machines, marine engines, dumpers and concrete mixers. They are employed even in: 4×4 tractors, fruit-picking tractors, generators, mowers, tillers, sickle mowers, motorized hoes, farm vehicles and still much more besides. Lombardini’s keywords are: innovation, versatility and flexibility. And they will continue to be at the heart of new and future conquests.

Gen-Sets
Lombardini manufactures air- and liquid-cooled Diesel engines. It also has a small range of gasoline engines (petrol).
Air-cooled diesel engines
- The Lombardini single-cylinder air-cooled engines are a classic. Old 3LD and 6LD have been sold for decades to the five continents and still today continue to power tillers and other application.
- 15LD family is the latest single-cylinder Lombardini manufactures. It goes from 220 to 500 cc and from 3.7 to 12HP.
- Twin-cylinder and three-cylinder engines are also available to reach a power output of 37HP.
Liquid-cooled diesel engines
Liquid-cooled Lombardini engines range from 440 to 2200 cc and from 11 to 65HP. They come as twin-, three- or four-cylinder. Lombardini has engineered a 440cc engine with common rail, which is today the smallest common rail in the world.
Gasoline engines
The range of Lombardini gasoline engines has shrunk in the years. Today[when?] only two models of gasoline are available, known as Intermotor’s: a 9 and an 11 HP. One of those is the IM350, often called “The world’s best engine”. Also, a liquid-cooled gasoline engine of 20HP remains in production. Lombardini, being part of Kohler group, is now marketing the Kohler gasoline engines which range from 4 to 40HP and come in a variety of models and configurations.
Applications
Construction industry
The construction industry is the second field of application of Lombardini engines. Machinery such as trench rollers, reversible compactors, single drum rollers, vibratory plates, mini rollers etc, are an example of that. Some major European OEMs have some Lombardini in their products.
Automotive
This is one of the latest market Lombardini has entered. It includes Micro cars (Ligier, Chatenet, Giotti Victoria etc.), quads, ATVs, 3-wheelers, and similar. For this market, Lombardini has engineered a special 440 cc engine with common rail injection, the CT Move launched in 2006.
Other
Other applications include Gensets and welders, tower lights, sweepers, high pressure cleaners, pumping sets, cranes, aerial platform and so on.
Licenses
During the years Lombardini has had license agreements with companies in different countries. Such agreements allowed a local manufacturer to assemble Lombardini engines for its local market under the direct supervision of Lombardini. All such agreements are now expired and nobody is currently authorised to assemble engines under the Lombardini brand except Lombardini itself. Lombardini is also no longer involved in ensuring the quality of such productions and where they continue the engines can not be considered genuine Lombardini engines.

General Comments About the Website
FROM Donald: "This is an awesome website. I found the information that I needed right away from one of the over 20,000 free articles that you provide as a public service. I'm surprised that so much if this site is free. But I still signed up so I could access the thousands of expanded pages, interesting articles, and dozens of valuable programs! The member's library of books, magazines and videos that I can view online is really terrific! I understand that you and your staff are all unpaid volunteers. Please keep up the good work. And I commend you for your plans to add another 10,000 free informative articles over the next year. I'm thrilled to support you in this endeavor with my small membership donation. Thanks again for all your hard work."
FROM Huey: "I agree with my Uncle, I too have found the articles to be very enlightening. They say that it will take about 100,000 articles to cover the full scope that they have envisioned for the website. They have over 20,000 articles so far and that's doing pretty well, but it could take several years to get the rest. I also noticed that many of the Main Topic Pages and some of the article pages are still in the rough draft stage. I guess that they will fill in as they can get volunteers to work on them. But what I can't figure out is why anyone would spend the time writing informative in depth articles just to give away free to this website for publication? What's in it for them?"
FROM Dewey: "Well Huey, to me It looks like most of the articles on this website are written by very informed people, like boating instructors, boat designers, boat builders, riggers, electricians, fitters, marine repair technicians and marine surveyors. Writing such articles helps establish them as knowledgeable professionals. After all, this website was originally created by a school for marine technicians and marine surveyors. The website is growing in content every day. They even had to move to a bigger, more powerful server because the website's traffic has been growing exponentially."
FROM Louie: "I agree with everyone above. This site is quickly becoming the ultimate reference resource about every aspect of boats and ships for everyone from the beginning recreational boater to the seasoned professional mariner. I use the topic pages on the right sidebar to browse around the website. It's like a Junior Woodchucks' Guidebook for Boaters. Their Members' Library of over 300 popular and obscure books and over 200 magazine back issues that can be viewed online is fabulous. The Academy's magazine is especially informative. On top of that, there is the "Ask-An-Expert program for members where you can get an expert's answer to any of your boat questions. And a whole years membership is only $25. What a deal! I really love being part of this "Everything About Boats" community and help provide thousands of helpful articles free to the public. I think that I'll sit down right now and write an article about my experiences boating with my uncle."
FROM Scrooge: "You rave about this website like it was the best thing since sliced bread. Well, I think it stinks. Sure, it has a lot of good information for boaters, and they're adding more every day, but it will probably never be finished. Furthermore, I don't even own a boat. And I wouldn't have a boat even if someone gave me one. Boats are a waste of money and time and energy and money! They're just a hole in the water you pour money into. If you gave me a boat, I'd sell it quicker then you could say Baggywrinkle. Then I'd lock up the cash with all my other money so I could keep my eye on it and count it every day. Bah humbug."
FROM Daisy: "I'm just so glad that Donald got the boat so we and the boys could enjoy boating — together. And of course all of the girls, April, May, and June, love to be on the water too, especially when that is where the boys are. Oh poor Scrooge, boating is more fun then you could possibly imagine."
FROM Scrooge: "After seeing how much fun you all have on the water together, I regret that I didn't have that much fun when I was young. I've had a change of heart, and I'm giving each of you a Lifetime Academy Membership."
FROM Editor: "For those of you that have stayed with us this far, many thanks, and we hope that you found this little narrative informative. Your faithful support inspires us to keep working on this phenomenal website. We know that we have a lot more to do. Ultimately, we hope that we can help you enjoy the wonder filled world of boating as much as we do. We are all waiting to see what you have to say about this webpage article. Submit any comments via email To: Comments♥EverythingAboutBoats.org (Replace "♥" with "@"). Be sure to include this page's title in the subject line. Also, your corrections, updates, additions and suggestions are welcomed. Please submit them via email To: Editor♥EverythingAboutBoats.org (Replace "♥" with "@").
