ARBO Systems SA was founded in 1974 with the object of development and fabrication of electronic devices for the industrial automation. The company's seat was at Lugano-Paradiso, where the first continuous, gravimetric dosing systems for powder, fibres and liquids had been built.

    In 1978 the own factory building at Lugano-Canobbio was ready for operation, where the fabrication facilities had been extended with an engineering workshop. Already in 1985 the factory building had been extended with an additional floor in order to double the electronic fabrication section.
