The Camozzi production facility at Polpenazze<br />

(BS) is equipped with a highly automated system<br />

<strong>for</strong> the production of cylinders and electric valves.<br />

APRILE 2010<br />

Established in 1964, Camozzi Spa (Brescia) has<br />

become Italy’s leading comp<strong>any</strong> <strong>for</strong> pneumatic<br />

components <strong>for</strong> industrial automation. The<br />

comp<strong>any</strong>’s ever-increasing success is attributable<br />

to its commitment to quality and to its wide range<br />

of products. These include valves, electric valves,<br />

cylinders, systems <strong>for</strong> the treatment of compressed<br />

air, fittings, and vacuum components, which<br />

together are capable of comprehensively meeting<br />

the various demands of industrial automation.<br />

Rapid and efficient service, an extensive<br />

Cav. Attilio<br />

Camozzi, president<br />

of the Camozzi<br />

Group. Though<br />

comprising<br />

a group of<br />

companies in a<br />

variety of business<br />

sectors, the<br />

core business is<br />

pneumatics.<br />

commercial network of dealers<br />

and distributors throughout<br />

the country and abroad (21<br />

subsidiaries supported by 54<br />

distributors worldwide), as well<br />

as excellent technical support<br />

guarantee the client’s complete<br />

satisfaction. The excellence of<br />

the products is assured through<br />

adherence to quality standards UNI EN ISO 9001<br />

e UNI EN ISO 14001 as well as vertical integration,<br />

which guarantees complete control of all elements<br />

of the production line, from raw materials to the<br />

commercialization of the finished product.<br />

Skill and innovation<br />

Among the numerous comp<strong>any</strong> initiatives is the<br />

Camozzi Center of Excellence, established in 2007.<br />

This center, located near the production facility in<br />

Polpenazze del Garda, offers educational activities<br />

to employees as well as the general public. Courses<br />

are available at three levels of difficulty and provide<br />

a range of subjects from the basic physics involved<br />

in pneumatic processes all the way to product<br />

structure and function.<br />

The initiative functions alongside the Camozzi<br />

Innovation System (CIS), which since 2006 has been<br />

inspired by the philosophy of the Toyota Production<br />

System, also known as Lean Manufacturing. This<br />

method of process management utilizes fewer<br />

resources compared to mass production, as it<br />

places greater responsibility on the individuals<br />

involved, since “there’s no one more able to<br />

problem solve than those who work the line”.<br />

The project involves every comp<strong>any</strong> division and<br />

focuses primarily on human resource development,<br />

product per<strong>for</strong>mance, new product development,<br />

waste reduction, continued maximization of<br />

customer service and rapid delivery.<br />

Camozzi has always been highly dedicated to<br />

research and development. There is no clearer<br />

demonstration of this commitment than the C.R.C<br />

– Camozzi Research Center. Established in 2003,<br />

its mission is to track new technologies and trends<br />

in developing industrial processes <strong>for</strong> those that<br />

might be of interest to the comp<strong>any</strong>. In further<br />

support of this goal, Camozzi also partners with<br />

universities and research institutes nationally and<br />

The Series EN is the new generation<br />

of electric valves that will substitute<br />

<strong>for</strong> the preceding Series E, from<br />

size 16 mm with ports threaded<br />

into the body. Being perfectly<br />

interchangeable, part of the code<br />

is maintained, though the valve<br />

has a completely new shape and<br />

components, with an aluminum body<br />

and end-covers in techno-polymer,<br />

new spool, with connections aligned<br />

to the exhaust ports such that the<br />

overall dimensions are minimized.<br />

internationally, as well as following the work of<br />

companies, agencies, and organizations in Italy and<br />

Europe. Camozzi engages in research and attends<br />

congresses to support constant interaction among<br />

the technical staff, sales, and marketing groups of<br />

the individual companies.<br />

Over the last few years, through a restructuring<br />

of its internal design and planning organization,<br />

the foundation was established <strong>for</strong> a productive<br />

collaboration with the technical offices of several<br />

of the comp<strong>any</strong>’s <strong>for</strong>eign subsidiaries. This has<br />

fostered the creation of new ways to approach<br />

development in manufacturing as well as rein<strong>for</strong>ce<br />

the comp<strong>any</strong>’s global image.<br />
