Sheet-metal dies design and manufacture

We’re specialized in the design and manufacture of dies for the cold-stamping of all types of sheet metal:

  • dies for drawing and bending
  • dies for shearing and drilling
  • block dies
  • progressive dies
  • programmed progressive dies
  • transfer dies
  • progressive die for first operation and subsequent dies with integrated transfer

Thanks to the modern equipment at our disposal, we are able to manufacture small, medium and large dies, with max overall dimensions of 2500x1500xh 900 mm. Our “core business” is the home appliance industry, but we are able to cater to requests of all types: industrial motor-vehicles, agricultural machinery and all those industries requiring sheet-metal stamping.

All the dies are tested by means of our presses (1000 t hydraulic press and Mechanical press up to 400 t). On request, we can also supply preproduction parts and small stamped lots.

Thanks to over forty years of experience, backed by the use of the very latest CAD/CAM tools, we cater to any metal stamping requirement using the very latest technologies available on the market.

The possibility of directly digitizing a customer’s prototype, direct interfacing with the most widely-used CAD systems, and the use of the very latest materials and cutting-edge production technologies are an integral part of the company’s production philosophy. We are also able to provide customers with a die repair and maintenance service for already-existing dies.
