At the beginning of the century, Maccaferri began to industrialize the technology and the first subsidiary factories were built in Grenoble and Naples. Among the key structures built in this era were the protection of the Tiber River in Rome in 1906 and the protection along the Arno River in 1908 for the National Railway Company.

The company's first sales catalog was published in 1906 and, in 1907, when the company became "Officine Maccaferri & Pisa". During the First World War, metal craftsmanship was interrupted, as wire production was used to make barbed wire, bastions, and other mesh for military purposes.

Between the wars, CEO Alessandro Maccaferri recognized the need to reconfigure and expand the company further, increasing its operations abroad. In 1926, Maccaferri gabions were used to protect the embankment of the Genale Dam, commissioned by the Somali government.

In 1944, during World War II, the Zola Predosa factory was destroyed by an aerial bombardment. The company resumed its activities in 1946 under the management of Gaetano and Guglielmo Maccaferri, who shared the management. In 1951, Maccaferri opened another factory in Bellizzi (Salerno), taking advantage of the sales success of the previous years.

Double twist steel wire mesh was used in the manufacture of various products for numerous applications. Galvanizing steel wire with zinc was a standard method in the wire industry. In the 1950s and 1960s, a PVC coating was added to the wire to provide longer life, allowing it to be used in more demanding applications. This new coating technology was useful when the Reno Mattress was invented shortly afterwards: a larger, flatter gabion with a smaller mesh, used for protection works against river erosion. Maccaferri products were used to rebuild roads and riverbanks following the devastating 1966 Florence floods.

In the 1970s, the company opened new factories in Canada (Agincourt, Ontario), the USA (Williamsport, Maryland) and Brazil (Jundiai, São Paulo).

Until the early 1990s, the company only supplied products made from the company's own double twist steel wire hexagonal mesh.

Since the 2000s, the company has grown through acquisitions and geographic expansion. This growth also included diversification and the addition of products to Maccaferri's portfolio, including construction geosynthetics (polymeric materials used in the geotechnical industry), rockfall protection and tunneling products.
