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 />
22<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 />
