HISTORY
O
n 1952 Arno Metallurgica foundry started operations as Fonderie Arno di Franco Galli & C. at Cavaria, Varese province, producing either aluminium or bronze castings.
The company then moved to Legnano, Milan province, leaving aluminium alloys production and dedicating itself to the technologic development of bronze castings, but always distinguishing for its constant and continuous engagement to improvement.
In years ’70 the company moved to the present location at San Vittore Olona in a covered area at that time of 3000 m2.
In the spirit of continuous improvement evolution, the certification of Quality System is reached according to iso 9002 standard. In 1997, the covered surface of present location is brought from the previous 3000 m2 to the today’s 7000 m2 through development works.
This fundamental step has allowed Arno Metallurgica to adopt new technologies, such as electric induction furnaces, new automatic moulding stations and new locations for large dimension hand moulding, noticeably improving production capacity.
In 2002 Quality System certification is updated according to iso 9001:2000 standard, allowing the capability of granting high technology production and composite quality requirements.
