The fittings, a sector with deep historical roots in the territory of Piacenza. A unique reality in Italy and Europe.
In Italy, fittings were born in Emilia-Romagna and are concentrated in the province of Piacenza, an area that boasts a deep tradition in mechanics.
The birth of the sector is attributable to the development of the department of the mouths of fire of the Royal Army Arsenal of Piacenza, between 1936 and 1939, and to the enhancement of its stocks of raw materials following the reopening after the Second World War.
In the territory of Piacenza, there are many corporations that produce forged fittings to weld head. There are also two important groups, whose headquarters are based in the Piacenza area.
The production of fittings represents an important part of complex projects whose final purposes can be very different: related to the construction and maintenance of nuclear power plants; oil extraction and refineries; the transport and storage of gases and fluids. The fittings are also used in the production of the mechanical sector and the construction sector.
The scenario in which these manufacturers operate is global. It is a sector in which the enhancement of human capital and its skills is of crucial importance.
