Timeless advanced technology and<br />

consistent qual<strong>it</strong>y. These are the<br />

hallmarks of Eural Gnutti, a reference<br />

point throughout the world for the production of<br />

semi-finished aluminium products.<br />

The story of this Brescia-based organisation<br />

began some time ago, in the years following the<br />

end Second World War.<br />

In 1947 the Gnutti family was actively involved in<br />

the metal production sector, operating one of the<br />

Gnutti family from left to right<br />

Paola, Sergio, Giuliano, Elena.<br />

Headquarters in Rovato extrusion plant.<br />

largest industrial centres for the production of<br />

extruded and drawn materials in brass, w<strong>it</strong>h a<br />

smaller output of extruded aluminium products.<br />

Desp<strong>it</strong>e <strong>it</strong>s relatively recent introduction,<br />

aluminium soon gained a significant foothold in<br />

all industrial sectors.<br />

A great leap forward in the company’s<br />

development took place in 1968, w<strong>it</strong>h the<br />

establishment of a new industrial ent<strong>it</strong>y, Eural<br />

Gnutti, where the name Eural combines the two<br />

most important elements in the company’s<br />

history and success – Europe and aluminium.<br />

From the outset Eural chose to follow a<br />

Eural Gnutti<br />

philosophy based on human values and<br />

uncompromising professional principles –<br />

conviction and deep comm<strong>it</strong>ment to the work, an<br />

emphasis on research and development,<br />

investment in cutting-edge technology, punctual<br />

delivery and constant product evolution, leading<br />

to outstanding qual<strong>it</strong>y levels.<br />

In the 1970s the company management saw,<br />

w<strong>it</strong>h exceptional entrepreneurial vision, that the<br />

company’s future success rested on two areas<br />

of production – opening <strong>it</strong>s own foundry and<br />

developing new aluminium alloys.<br />

However the greatest achievement has come in<br />

the last 15 years, w<strong>it</strong>h the intrduction of new<br />

lines and the acquis<strong>it</strong>ion of new machinery, the<br />

research and ongoing development of new<br />

alloys for internationally famous commercial<br />

partners, the conquest of global European,<br />

American and Asian markets, and the<br />

completion of a far-reaching aim – to develop<br />

the abil<strong>it</strong>y to handle every production phase<br />

w<strong>it</strong>hin the company, and to be able to use<br />

standard and customised products for the most<br />

demanding clients.<br />

Eural has enjoyed constant growth. The first mill<br />

in Rovato covered a total area of 15,000 square<br />

metres, now this aluminium production giant<br />

covers an area of 400,000 square metres, w<strong>it</strong>h<br />

70,000 of these under cover.<br />

Bars and finished parts in Eural 6026 alloy.<br />

The two centres, in Rovato and Pontevico, work<br />

in daily collaboration w<strong>it</strong>h each other.<br />

The workforce has also increased, desp<strong>it</strong>e<br />

technological growth and improvements in<br />

production methods created by latest<br />

generation of automated machinery.<br />

There are currently two product families - the<br />

rods & bars, which are the company’s core<br />

business, and aluminium profiles for high-tech<br />

industrial applications.<br />

The company is particularly proud that <strong>it</strong> has<br />

obtained international certification for rods and<br />

bars in 6026, an alloy developed and tested<br />

over a number of years in the EURAL<br />

laboratories. It has now become one of the most<br />

sought after products of <strong>it</strong>s kind in world<br />

markets.<br />

Obsessive attention to the product, which is<br />

repeatedly tested and checked during the<br />

production cycle, combines w<strong>it</strong>h absolute<br />

qual<strong>it</strong>y ensured by the use of the best raw<br />

materials to complete this Italian success story,<br />

which is also based on a strong sense of<br />

environmental responsibil<strong>it</strong>y.<br />

The production cycle is organised to minimise<br />

waste levels, and to ensure that recycling is a<br />

very high prior<strong>it</strong>y. The use of filters and the<br />

installation of solar panels are evidence of this<br />

intense comm<strong>it</strong>ment in the fight against<br />

pollution.<br />

One dream is still to be fulfilled: to promote and<br />

expand the culture and knowledge of<br />

aluminium, an atoxic material that can be used<br />

in a large number of applications to replace<br />

other, now obsolete, alloys that are far more<br />

expensive and cause significantly more<br />

pollution.<br />
