Double-stroke heading machine
As part of the company’s innovative plans, Carlo Salvi will offer a new double-stroke heading machine to produce parts with lengths up to 200 mm and integrated models with rolling units. The company aims to complete this product range over the next three to four years. The challenge is being met with enthusiasm as many new resources were hired in 2022. These new specialised employees are qualified and capable of increasing production capacity, with expectations that the organisation will continue on the same trend in the coming years to meet the ever-increasing market demand.
The current energy crisis, as well on an ongoing focus on sustainability, have led Carlo Salvi S.p.A. to work harder and become more independent, with the installation of new solar panels which will also reduce CO2 emissions. Results from these initiatives are expected from as early as 2023.
Like many industries, the fasteners market is showing a trend which suggests a return to more local production: it is forecast that this trend will lead to steady growth over the next five years. To meet this demand, the company has already accepted the challenge to minimise costs and reduce delivery times so as not to lose competitiveness in both national and international markets. Carlo Salvi hopes that reorganisation and investment in new resources will be able to support the current requirements and will lead to a more sustainable way of working for the future.
"The Carlo Salvi name is synonymous with quality, reliability and high performance."
