Located in the North of Italy, in a green area, surrounded by the Italian and Swiss Alps, Tecnofar Spa  has recently increased its production unit with a modern 5000 m2 plant, opened on January 2016.

Working with the most important European stainless steel mills, at the base of supply chain, Tecnofar offers a semi-finished quality product, fundamental requirement for a cost-efficient and environmentally-friendly component part.

Tecnofar Used in various applications, like alimentary, heat exchanger, medical etc..,

In automotive industry, Tecnofar’s tubes are fundamental part of components mounted on millions of passenger cars and commercial vehicles around the world.

Some application examples:

-Pipelines (Fuel/Oil/Air)                                                  -Glow Plugs- EGR Tubes                                                                       -Exhaust Systems

An advanced engineering department and a vision that drives us continuously looking for improvements and technological developments, at a competitive price, make Tecnofar a leading manufacturer of quality stainless steel tubes.

With this aspect, combined with the constant attention to customer needs, Tecnofar contributes to increasing the performance of his customer’s products.

The 11 Tig welding lines are equipped with the most efficient control systems  and induction annealing furnaces, that, working in a protected atmosphere, give to Tecnofar tubes an high corrosion-resistant resistance and the right mechanical characteristics  to perform bending, hydroforming, expanding, drilling, flanging etc …

A large part of Tecnofar’s production is dedicated to standard diameters like (ODxWT) 5×1, 6×1, 6×0,7, 8×1, 10×1, 12×1, 12,7×1, 14×0,3, 13,5×0,4, 20×0,4, 14×1, 16×1, 19×1, 22×1, 30×0,5, 41,20×1, 50×1, 50×2,  53×1, 55,8×1, 66,4×1,2, 71,2×0,8 mm.

Tecnofar tubes are regularly subjected to the most strict control tests,  in according with specific standards:

• ASTM:

Production range for welded tubes goes from 3 to 76 mm and thickness from 0,15 to 3 mm, with possibility of heat treatment and surface finishing by satinizing (grain 60 – 800 micron)

To meet the production requirements of all the customers, Tecnofar tubes could be supplied in long bars, in coils, or  in fix length cut pieces, perfectly deburred and cleaned.

To expand its production capacity for cut pipes Tecnofar has started a new and modern 4.0 plant to cut, deburr, wash, and check pipe segments with a diameter between 8,00 mm and 76,00 mm in lengths between 90 mm and 1000 mm, equipped with automatic loading and issuing of control reports (with Cpk).

The new plant integrates an already advanced department that is composed of 10 machines able to cut directly from bar or from roll tubes of diameter included between 1,00 mm and 76,00 mm and lengths from 3,00 to 3000 mm.

All this is done with a view to provide a quality product, always closer to the customer’s needs.

Directly connected to the production of stainless steel welded tube, Tecnofar is producing welded cold-drawn precision tubes with an external diameter ranging from 0,3 to 20 mm and thickness from 0,1 to 2 mm, available in bar, rolls and cut to size,  used in the application which require a very high precision and quality.

Industrial excellence from over 60 million euros and 150 employees

The growth of the CSM GROUP of Codognè, the holding company to which various companies such as CSM TUBE Italy, Brazil and the USA refer for the part related to the production of stainless steel pipe, and CSM MACHINERY and OAKLEY, for the sector inherent to the engineering and automation machines, all reality protagonists of an extraordinary climb that began several years ago, thanks to a strategy aimed at facing the various challenges of the global market.

CSM is an industrial group that initially specialized in the creation and distribution of automation machines in industries, which today have arrived at 4.0 technological solutions, to then dedicate themselves to automatic production lines in stainless steel tubes distributed over several factories which, by now , cover an entire area of ​​30,000 square meters.

And this is precisely the fastest-growing and most consecutive years, a phenomenon that occurs both in the historic Italian headquarters and in the recent productive realities in Brazil and the USA, with double-digit increase percentages that brought CSM to a consolidated turnover more than 60 million euros and to employ more than 150 employees between direct and indirect collaborators.

With a peculiar vision oriented to a future that is already planned and in continuous expansion, aimed at an international market and disconnected from the single country’s growth logic, CSM GROUP’s sole objective is to maintain the leadership position of the sector, in which it emerges for quality, an element naturally present in its DNA together with the territory, and for the technique, in turn the keys responsible for the beginning of this excellent production path and the subsequent company consolidation.

An important share of the investments are reserved for Research & Development, the beating heart of the CSM GROUP which, with its highly innovative vocation, thanks to the adoption of increasingly advanced technological solutions, determines that fundamental advantage compared to the major competitors in all markets International.

The Group, in addition to growing in production, differs in its ability to create employment in a constant and significant manner; the work heritage of the company, especially over the last few years, pursues the continuous integration of new technical figures, inserted after a specific and high-level training course, which also includes sensitive and current issues such as safety and the environment, such as demonstrated by obtaining ISO14001 and OHSAS 18001 certifications.

«These are the challenges with which we have grown – says Elisabetta Trolese, head of the group with her brother Marco – or not seeing limits and structuring ourselves to grow. For this reason, in 2018 we adopted the 231 organization and management model and we introduced the Code of Ethics into the company, as a tangible sign of our commitment to all our customers, and to further guarantee our active participation for our employees and for our collaborators ».

CSM GROUP, two production sites in Italy, one in Brazil and the latest in the USA, is a real point of reference in the sector, as well as international industrial excellence and a genuine steel community.

Aratubo, with more than 50 years of experience in the manufacture of welded precision steel tubes, has a presence in more than 20 countries and exports 90% of its production.
