Competitiveness was never pursued by lessening the quality of the raw material and the final products. Instead, Atomat opted to focus on production know-how improvements that generate simultaneous cost containment and higher quality. For example, the carbides are 100% produced by Multicarb Srl (a subsidiary of the group) using only first quality virgin powders, while the steel comes from selected special steels suppliers. The heat treatment process takes place only at specialised and certified Italian companies. Production procedures are characterised by the introduction of high quality, efficient and innovative machinery, such as the multi-function Okuma Multus lathe, with two spindles and handling up to 60 tools, that completes the manufacturing of a piece in a single station, preventing multiple handling of the roll and granting high efficiency and tighter tolerances. Several other activities, such as the roll rough boring, became fully optimised with the introduction of robots that permit the automatic loading and unloading of working stations with uninterrupted cycles of 24 hours. Atomat’s particular concentration regard- ing the quality of the rolls produced and the effort displayed throughout the total manufacturing cycle is evidenced by the implementation of sophisticated control procedures and the final inspection and certification performed by means of a 3D measuring machine built by DEA. The group, which encompasses seven companies with eleven factories in five countries and also includes Officine MTM SpA, a leader in high quality tube mill manufacturing, is able to offer complete turnkey solutions.

The innovative BLISSart ® custom tools remove the internal weld bead in HF longitudinally welded tubes and impress customers with a high degree of know-how, precision, intelligent technology, durability and an effective increase in production output, resulting in considerable cost savings. In the nationwide competition “IP 2011”, which is an award given by the industry to the most innovative companies, Ernst Blissenbach GmbH was among the top
