As TKT Group celebrates seven decades of uninterrupted
service to the steel wire industry, the company is launching
several special initiatives in 2015 on wire drawing lubricants
and dies.
The company is also pleased to announce a turning point in
its long history, in that it is expanding its current production
capacity by starting the building of Tecnovo’s new lubricants
plant, under construction in Cremona, Italy, by the side of
Koner’s dies factory.
The new plant, spread over 25,000m2, is slated for
completion by the end of 2015. Once completed, it will
double Tecnovo’s current capacity per annum.
Cremona’s plant will be fully committed to innovative
lubricants production, whereas in Novate Milanese factory
both the current production lines and also the R&D
department will continue in operation.
The new Cremona industrial hub will manufacture all the
range of products for the steel wire industry (lubricants, dies
and auxiliary products).
