Press Shop

Our forging tradition began 200 years ago, making us one of the oldest forges in the world.

The forge shop is a key step in our production chain. We have experienced and skilled forge workers.

Our knowledge of forging allows us to be a reliable and flexible supplier of complex requests.

In-house, the pieces are primarily transported by the means of overhead cranes with lifting capacities from 30 up to 160 Mg

Our forging equipment includes the following:

• Three hydraulic presses: 20 MN, 32 MN and 80 MN
• Forging manipulator for 20 MN, 32 MN and 80 MN presses
• TR devices for each press enabling forging of continuous grain flow crankshafts
• 21 gas fired forging furnaces controlled by computer including 3 for heating the crankshafts for TR forging
• 19 gas heating furnaces for preliminary heat treatment
• 1 gas furnace 25500mm long, to perform annealing, normalization, remove the stresses, tempering and other operations up to 1000°C

Furnaces meet the requirements of API 6A regarding the temperature uniformity in working zone.
