Transfer machines
 

Considered the most technological models of the market, all machines are highly customised to meet the individual needs of each customer.

Shavings and chips and the cleaning phase control is also automated. Special tools are designed and made entirely in the tool development area, based on the materials handled, on the specific performances of the machines and tolerances, through direct and constant interaction with the production departments. Thousands of new tools are conceived, designed and produced each year.

The same machines are constantly updated and improved in close collaboration with suppliers and customers.

The new headquarters in Verderio house two fully automated warehouses which uses the FIFO (first in first out) method to provide the most accurate and efficient control of raw materials and finished products.
