ALFA MECCANICA MAIN PECULIARITIES
ALFA MECCANICA is very appreciated by current Customers for the following main
characteristics:
Very flexible Customer oriented production organization
Prototypes manufacturing capability, built up mainly in Space Business,
that means the habit of working following Engineering instructions (as
generated during development Programs) and the attitude of obtaining
good parts at the first shot.
Excellent performances (both for quality of parts and consistent on time
deliveries ) in production programs.
ALFA MECCANICA could be considered a “potential Supplier” by new Customers
because of the following characteristics:
Financially sound Company (demonstrated by the significant investments
made during the still in place world wide crisis period). As a matter of fact
in 2008 ALFA MECCANICA moved from the previous plant of 1500 square
meters to a new plant of about 10.000 square meters, of which 5700 are
now covered, ready for several new machining centers installation.
Since 2008 five new machining centers, 2 EDM new machines and a ND
testing facility have been installed. As a consequence the staff has grown
from 30 persons in 2008 to the actual 50 persons.
Significant expansion capability of Production Activity (available in a short
time) due to:
o the brand new machining centers/tools installed
o the covered area still available for new machine tools installation
o the present level of activity (one shift + two shifts for 3 lathes and 3
machining centers )
