as a workshop for the aeronautical
motor industry, and in the early
1960s specialised in the production
of components for the food, wine,
beverages, chemical andpharmaceutical
industries.
Today, the company manufactures high-
tech stainless steel valves and fittings
for the domestic and world market, and
is represented in over 70 countries. All
the products are of its own exclusive
design and manufacture, made with
quality materials and the most advanced
technology available.
A 7,000m2 manufacturing centre in

1989, and in 1996 a facility specialising
in tube finishing processes was set up
in Pandino. A second production centre
in Peschiera Borromeo was acquired
in 2003. The company offers complete
manufacturing solutions for customised
parts and special systems, and its entire
range is available ex-stock.
The products, all made exclusively in
Aisi 304L and Aisi 316L stainless steel,
are manufactured in conformity with
the main international standards, DIN,

fugally cast tubes and offsets. The
company was established in 1989 and
now has a plant for centrifugally cast
tubes production, named Trubolit, and
a plant for offsets and cold-deformed
tubes production in its structure.
The tubes are produced from 100 to
1,066mm diameter and wall thickness
from 10 to 250mm, and lengths up to
6,250mm, in carbon, construction, high-
alloyed, stainless, high-temperature steel
grades and alloys as well as bimetal with
different layers combination. Centrifugally
cast tubes are used in different fields.
The main applications include: casing
and armour facing of grinders and
crushing mills; rollers for roll breakers;
high- and low-temperature rollers of
screens at production lines; wear-
resistant bimetal sludge lines for hydro-
transportation of loose materials in the
mining and metallurgical industry as well
as in coal, gold and diamond mining;
wear-resistant tubes for transportation
of cement at cement plants; tubes for
natural gas reforming and oil refining
plants; driving drums and rollers of
heavy conveyer systems; radiant tubes
for furnaces with protective atmosphere;
muffles, baskets and reactors in chemical
heat-treatment furnaces.
