ASMAG signs contract for two innovative
production lines in Italy
THE Austrian ASMAG GmbH, a
worldwide known specialist in quality
machinery for production of metals, has
signed a contract with the Italian Berna
Ernesto SpA of Lumezzane (Brescia)
for the turnkey supply of two complete
fully automated production lines. The
plants will produce hollow bars and
profiles in various brass alloys.
The agreement was signed in
Gmunden (Austria) by Andrea Berna,
CEO, and Johann Vielhaber, CEO of
ASMAG.
This has been the successful result
of several technical meetings in which
all requirements of Berna have been
carefully evaluated to identify and
outline the best technological and
layout solutions.
The philosophy of Berna, orientated
to unconditionally guaranteed product
quality and customer satisfaction,
has been the theme that has led the
engineers of Scharnstein to their
project choices. The technological
encounter, knowledge and sharing of
experience have been further enhanced
by mutual visits of delegations to the
respective premises in Lumezzane and
Scharnstein.
The scope of supply includes
drawbench, straightening lines for
rounds and profiles, cut-to-length
station, chamfering, straightness
control unit and testing table, automatic
bundling and packing, erection and
commissioning services.
Considering the qualitative targets
firmly established by the management
of Berna, a strong attention to material
handling and an extensive adoption
of in-line instrumentation have been
foreseen by the Austrian engineers.
This will ensure the physical and
aesthetic properties of the finished
of integrated lines for the production of
cold drawn metals (ferrous and non-
ferrous). Its markets are mainly Europe,
USA and Russia.
Founded in 1984 by the engineer
Johann Vielhaber, it has grown since
then in the factory of Scharnstein
and with the acquisition of SEUTHE,
Germany, in 2010 and OCN, Italy, in
2015. The ASMAG group now totals
more than 200 employees.
Following the purchase of the assets
of OCN, a new ASMAG branch office
was established in Tavagnacco (UD),
Italy, whose first important result has
been this project with Berna.
With this contract, ASMAG confirms
its leadership in high-technology cold
drawing machinery.
