Thixoforming: get complete market transparency

Founded in 1989 thanks to the brothers Luigino and Sante Cippitelli, Italmetal specializes at first only in the production of buckles and metal accessories for leather goods, quickly establishing itself as an important supplier for several national and international companies. Parallel to the production of accessories for leather goods, the company gives life to a technical department of design and development CAD-CAM for prototypes and moulds in steel, reaching important positions also in the production of technical details in zamak, in particular for the industry of furniture, automation and accessories. Currently the company, spread over a covered area of 5,000 square meters and with a workforce of 40 employees, is able to provide a complete service that goes from the study of the product up to the production of the same, passing through all the phases of the process work, which are carried out almost completely within the company itself. The types of processes that Italmetal can offer are almost exclusively addressed to the injection moulding sector. The two main production sectors are: Design and production of injection moulds for zamak and plastic materials. In the various phases that constitute the birth of an egg produced, the realization of the mould represents a crucial moment that will influence all the subsequent production phases of the product. The Molds department designs and manufactures moulds both for third parties and for internal needs. The department consists of a technical office that analyzes and studies the equipment commissioned to verify the times and technical specifications, and a modern workshop that follows all the construction phases. Together with the Stamping department, it carries out the testing of the equipment made up to the final set-up. Zamak moulding. The Stamping department, in addition to testing the equipment produced by the moulds department, takes care of the moulding and all the subsequent processing steps to which the parts are submitted before delivery. The technologies used in the department are two, by die-casting and by centrifugal moulding. Die-casting is used for the production of parts with high runs and for the production of technical parts with reduced dimensional tolerances, the centrifugal moulding is used for the realization of medium / small series and "pilot" parts. In almost 30 years of activity in the field of accessories production, the company has gained experience and expertise in the matter to be able, for each new project, to define with accuracy and safety the problems that may occur in the various production processes and consequently, advise the customer on the most suitable solutions to simplify or prevent these problems. Our strong point is this, a deep knowledge of the problems related to the development of new products, supported by years of experience and the use of the latest technology, which allow us to solve technical problems before the launch of the order and update our customers in real time already in the pre-industrialization phase of the product.
