In just one glance, you will have a clear perspective of Nuova Franco’s production capacity.
Mechanic engineering is all about precision. Stamping and blanking sheet metal that is sometimes a finger thick, and doing so on a daily basis for thirty years, requires experience. Our unit of measurement is the hundredth of a millimeter, checking of the parts and the needed measuring instruments always have a three-dimensional approach. The experience and know-how that grow every day, thanks also to the constant engagement with customers and partners, allow us to correct potential mistakes. Precision as daily experience and willingness to learn every day are indispensable tools for our work.
Putting the pieces together…combining the elements is the basis of any project, the process of any construction. We could line up an endless amount of verbs, which all represent the action of joining into a single “object”. Welding, screwing, hooking, gluing, embedding, assembling… and there where the union takes place, we are usually there. Threaded plates, hooks, shaped plates, washers of every shape and type, perforated plates, perforated and laser-cut plates, bended and perforated plates… the entire infinite arsenal of connecting elements made of pressed, cut, drilled and shaped sheet metal. The immense product range of our metal parts. Joining elements that allow to create greenhouses, scaffolding, platform roofs, shade structures, fences, trusses, cranes, trellis, curtain walls, prefabricated buildings, exhibition structures, stairs… A whole lot of stuff. We are thrilled to participate in putting together a world made better and safer.
When people ask me – what do we do – I spontaneously answer – everything – That is not because I am presumptuous… Let’s just say that over the years, things have happened a bit by chance. We have met clients from every sector, who have asked us to make all kinds of parts, from the simplest plate to the most complex shaped object. Objects often of common use, cups and hooks, washers, trolleys, hinges, angle brackets and every conceivable metal part, objects that we touch in everyday life, other parts so unusual and unique in their kind that we do not remember what they were going to make up. Parts of all kinds, all made of sheet metal stamping; drilled, milled… that can spark the imagination of any maker with a creative vision of things. It is amazing when a metal part that we have been always stamped to perform a certain function, changes name and becomes something else. The same object but with another name and a different function. That is the attitude of being able to imagine. To look at things and go beyond.
One washer, a million and a half washers, all identical to the first. Small blanking parts of every kind, working sheets of every thickness, of every metal material, to manufacture products that perfectly match the required specifications. All of this would be impossible without close collaboration with our customers. We would not be able to achieve the required goals so effectively if all our customers did not bring their skills into play in a mutual sharing that allows us each time to find the most economical and effective solutions. That cooperation also allows us to engineer the parts, to design the mold, to produce it, to test it and maybe to manufacture all the parts, which our partners request. Listening and dialogue are essential to carry out important projects. It is also thanks to our customers that in the end we are truly satisfied with our work.
To produce and sell are without doubt the essence of an engineering company as ours and of all healthy businesses. But we have always been convinced that a company has to be also something else. A catalyst of wealth and energy able to spread part of its wealth in the area and among the people around it. It’s not about making charities, which is always a beautiful thing, it’s about how to trigger a virtuous circle capable of being self-sustaining and creating more wealth for all. That’s why we do our best to help “Hockey Trissino 05 in A2” and the Trissino Professional Training Center. We make our boys to grow up, give them positive examples and opportunities to learn. In a growing community, we all will feel better.
There are jobs that exist since ever and tools, machinery, systems that have changed in such a radical way that a lot of us are struggling to recognize and to give them a name. Agriculture in people’s mind is still hoe, spade, rake, sickle, pitchfork, harrow, plow, cart…. It’s not because we don’t know about the hugest progresses of the sector, of machineries and all the rest. Many of us often have difficulties to recognize them, to understand what they are for and to give them a name. Here, in NUOVA FRANCO we have expertise in producing numerous parts that big Italian companies, many of them located close to us, are asking for the production of those “big and complex animals” that are working in the modern agriculture, cultivating food that we eat, canalizing water and ensuring the territory’s security. Beautiful machineries that often show the force of their muscles without skin. We are proud to be involved in their manufacturing by providing essential elements, guaranteeing solidity, durability and many machineries that literally give us bread, wine and much other.
A stamped and perforated plate can have a thousand applications, an infinite number of features that make it, beyond the part of metal beyond the sheet metal part that we see there is a working tool and a safety device. One of the many ordinary items on which our own lives often depend on. Our parts end up being installed in railings, fences, gates, covers, technical equipment for sports and entertainment, machine tools, agricultural machinery of all types and sizes, protection and safety systems, load-bearing structures, static and moving mechanical systems. An ordinary part, stamped, maybe very thick as we often happen to produce, which is bent, drilled, threaded, welded and assembled with others, than turns into a small or a great device to our safety. Most of the time it can appear as an almost invisible part. That is how we want it to remain. Because when a sheet metal part hits the headlines, it is usually not good news.
How many times have we read Walt Disney’s famous saying – If you can dream it you can do it? – it is absolutely true, for anything, in NUOVA FRANCO we feel it every day. During the project phase, we start from the sketch on paper to the three-dimensional engineering with CAD-CAM software, up to the production of the dies and the optimization of production. We develop our customers’ ideas in the same way we put our expertise at their disposal to develop their projects. We do not set ourselves any limits; we have a clear vision of the engineering methodologies and are able to advise immediately on the most appropriate technologies, the most economic and effective production systems according to the objectives that we set together.
It is a pleasure to see a press working perfectly, rhythmically stamping the item we have thought of. It’s true: if we dream something we usually do it.
Thunderstorms that follow each other with clearing ups, temperatures that rise despite everything.. “Spring”: saying in just a word. A climate that already makes us craving for Summer, for life in the open air with the need to do a lot of work, both at home as well as in large farms and tourism industry, in spaces dedicated to entertainment, play and outdoor life in general. We offer fine blanking parts of all shapes to the tourism industry, farms of all kinds and to those who work in the construction and maintenance of green areas, playgrounds and sports equipment. Fasteners, plates, washers, caps, discs, hooks, carriages, which are suitable for the construction of gazebos, greenhouses, fences, benches, equipment for playgrounds and fitness areas, fixing umbrellas and shade cloths… All our production guarantees safety and durability.
Have a great summer everyone!
