toggle type switch in 1963 to a totally computerized firing system that has been
completed and tested.
This computerized system is the World's First and most advanced. It is the prototype
for the new generation of electronic- computerized - pyrotechnics.
Zambelli Internationale has produced the world's largest pyro - musical productions,
commencing with the City of Chicago's Sesquicentennial. Sixteen individual
pyrotechnic launching sites throughout the Metropolitan Chicago area were coordinated
to music that was simulcast over radio and television.

device from raw materials utilizing either the stringless technique or the non - flammable
spiked technique. Zambelli Internationale has also incorporated automated presses
along with hand craftsmanship to facilitate quality control compression where needed

director at our facility and in addition, a safety director to make on -site inspections of
pyrotechnic displays.

all of our rigid safety procedures that exceed state and federal requirements and that
are necessary to exhibit a pyrotechnic display in a safe and sane manner.
