Leifeld would like to congratulate company ALTA on their continuous success.

We are proud to be one of your strategic partners and look forward to working with you on new projects in future.

ties are based mainly on metalworking and the energy sector, in which ALTA achieves significant volumes, particularly in its already traditional supplies of iron ore pellets, metalworking materials and fuel elements. In its field ALTA is one of the largest companies in central and eastern Europe.

Latest projects

There are many examples of successful projects from this important Czech company. Worthy of note are the important contract for the construction of a turnkey factory for construction materials in Russia, and the Memorandum with the Serbian Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure on cooperation in the construction of a facility with a new mine and power station rated at 380MW, valued at €650 million. That year also saw the signing of an important contract with OAO Ashinskii metallurgicheskii zavod (AMET), for the reconstruction and overall modernisation of a rolling mill. The contract valued at €330 million is due to be completed in 2013 in turnkey format.

ALTA is based on the professionalism, specialist skills and teamwork of its top specialists. Its ability to deliver complex projects while meeting the individual demands and requirements of its customers secures the company’s competitiveness, key to its activities in the global marketplace. At present this is particularly true for India, China and Israel. In the future it intends to continue to provide its customers with modern technical and technological solutions supported by essential services in design, engineering and financing. n

GOING OFFSHORE

Set up thanks to a recent merger, but equipped with the experience and know-how of the founding companies, Remazel Engineering is active in a range of sectors, with products for the offshore industry increasingly gaining ground and set to soon become its core business, as Barbara Rossi learns from Mr Gamba, the company’s CEO.

Remazel Engineering was founded in 2010, thanks to the merger of Rema Engineering and Zambetti e Lumina. Zambetti e Lumina had taken its name from that of the two partners who had founded it at the end of the 1960s, while Rema Engineering had been set up at the beginning of the 1980s by Mr Gamba, who had spent the previous fifteen years managing other companies dedicated to producing special equipment and involved in the off-shore sector.

The merger took place because Rema, which was a specialist in offshore engineering and plant subcontracting, as well as carrying out assembly and installation, wanted to further develop its deep water range and, in order to do this, needed the right organisation to qualify and control all the production activities, including expediting and cost control. For this reason, there was the need for a more structured organisation. Zam-

betti e Lumina was identified as being of particular interest because of its supply and production time management, as well as its quality control capabilities. Through the merger the original objective was achieved.

Remazel Engineering, whose recent turnover is €90 million, is organised into three divisions: Zambetti e Lumina, Metrio and Rema. Zambetti e Lumina, with its 50 years of experience in the field, manufactures turbine components, specifically GT burners, GT combustion chambers, GT parts, boiler burners and mechanical components, making its products according to customers’ specifications. One of its notable clients is Ansaldo. Metrio designs and manufactures diverters, exhaust systems, diffusers, guillotines, silencers and expansion joints, as well as multilouvre, biplane, stack and butterfly dampers. The Metrio division works on the basis of a consolidated know-how, which is then customised to respond to clients’ needs. The main sectors to which it supplies its products are oil and gas, paper, cement, chemical, petrochemical and metallurgy. The Rema Division has developed its activity in a range of sectors (oil and gas, power transmission, railway), but its core business is machines and systems for oil and gas offshore production. It deals with all the equipment for pipe laying vessels and their anchorage, alongside those for drilling units, lifting vessels and accommodation barges, as well as with complete permanent mooring systems for FPSOs. Design and engineering play a main role in the work of this division, as all machines and systems are fully customised. The division’s main clients are Saipem, Petrofac, SBM, Technip and Engevix/Petrobras.

All facilities and offices are based in the Bergamo area of northern Italy. Although the operational activities of the different divisions remain separate, all offices have been moved to the new 2500m2 Chiuduno site, where the administrative and commercial departments have been integrated in a single team, including the electrical division and the engineering department. In October a new assembling unit for large machinery, especially for the offshore sector, will be ready, allowing engineering and assembling to be in close direct contact. “Assembling
