C
elsia is based near Lake Maggiore, in the Verbania area of northern Italy, situated between Milan and the Swiss border (specifically in Anzola d’Ossola). Established in 1963 by by Silvio Tedeschi and Antonio Bionda, the company started out as a manufacturer of low-voltage electrical contacts, aided by the know-how and the technology of its associated company, F.I.L.M.S, which had been active in the sin54 Industry Europe
ters sector since 1955. Towards the end of the 1960s, Celsia began producing composite materials made through infiltration (silver/ tungsten and copper/tungsten), both for the electrical and electro-mechanic sectors. Today, the ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified company has a range of tungsten-based sinters, brazing alloys and electrical contacts for medium and high voltage applications. Celsia products can be used in a wide variety
of fields, namely mechanics, electro-mechanics and high precision mechanics. The company supplies some very high-profile clients, including ABB, Schneider, Siemens, Luxottica, Gerdau and Toshiba, amongst others. It has a modern and efficient R&D laboratory to support both production quality control and new product development. It is also equipped with innovative machinery, such as that for electron beam welding.
