Thanks to this approach, Inoxfucine was equipped with technologically advanced equipment for open die forging of stainless steel including duplex and super-duplex alloys, nickel alloys and carbon steel.
- In the first years from its establishment, Inoxfucine implemented an investment plan aimed at starting-up the business with the development of machinery and know-how for heat treatment of stainless steel, which allowed to entry in the supply of forged components even for automotive industry.
- In 1982, in order to increase the product categories Inoxfucine acquired 51% of Conaco, a SME engaged in the manufacturing and selling of components for piping.
- In this decade, Conaco was fully incorporated in Inoxfucine and specialised itself in manufacturing of a wide range of cast “Y” type strainers, including patterns for all sizes from 1/2” to 24” and all ratings from #150 psi to #4,500 psi.
- The production range includes also TEE type bath-tub strainers, single Basket in-line strainers and Temporary strainers from 2” up to 80” size. Construction materials are carbon steel, stainless steel, non-ferrous metals and exotic alloys.
- Inoxfucine forging division has pursued the expansion plan in the open die forging market through investments for ring rolling machines, machining plant and a specialized laboratory to perform in-house all mechanical and metallurgical tests.
- Throughout this period, Inoxfucine built a well-known reputation for commitment suppling products in strategic industries as nuclear, aerospace and healthcare always keeping the leadership also for driving sectors such as chemical, food and pharmaceutical.
