A passion for machine precision Emmegi

a passion for machine precision

Emmegi is a specialist in the design and manufacture of precision machinery for the processing of aluminium, PVC and steel. The company continues to see strong growth in a highly competitive marketplace. Its recent acquisition of the Elumatic Group further strengthens its place as the manufacturer of choice for a broad range of manufacturing industries, as Philip Yorke reports.

The Emmegi Group is an industrial company that was founded in Italy in 1977. Since its inception, the company has continued to build on its reputation for accuracy and precision. Emmegi excels in a fast expanding, and diverse international market. Its broad portfolio includes machinery for industries such as automotive, high pressure tech, hydrothermal, sanitary, and gas-valve applications.

Located in Italy’s Marche region, Emmegi is recognised for its passion for engineering excellence and devotion to its customers’ requirements. Accuracy and precision are combined at Emmegi to produce the finest machine precision for standard, turned metal parts. These can be combined with a high degree of customisation. Back in 1995, Emmegi’s quality was acknowledged by its certification to ISO 9001, thus further endorsing the expertise of its highly skilled workforce.

Innovative process optimisation

Technological innovation is an asset that over time changes a company’s level of performance, thus driving industries towards more advanced solutions. In relation to the Emmegi Group, this means advanced, multi-spindle lathes and single spindle lathes with numeric controls that meet high production volumes, whilst maintaining quality excellence and consistency throughout the production process. In addition, specific machines can be tailor-made to provide various types of product finish. There are also many complementary processes, such as galvanic and thermal treatments with statistical process controls that act in accordance with pre-determined customer CP and CPK indexes.

Today Emmegi delivers unrivalled customer service and true production process optimisation. High precision tools and process equipment designed for every production phase are stored in two separate automated warehouses. A tracking system also ensures complete transparency and operational optimisation. Furthermore, a complete recording of the manufacturing process parameters and results related to batches produced is available at all times. Throughout its manufacturing process activities, Emmegi thinks and acts ecologically. In recent years the company has produced dedicated machinery that respects the environment and the need for energysaving and greener production quotas.

Better together

Under the umbrella of the Italian conglomerate, Cifin Holding, Elumatec AG, a leading international machine manufacturer is joining the Emmegi Group to create a new heavyweight in the industry. Cifin Holding, which also owns Emmegi, announced recently that it had acquired Elumatec AG and its subsidiary companies.

Following the transfer of ongoing business operations together with the necessary assets of the “old” Elumatec GmbH on a trust basis to Elumatec AG, the acquisition by Cifin Holding is another important milestone for the company. The acquisition by Cifin Holdings ensures that the Mühlacker location will remain in operation for many more years to come.

Tobias Hoefer, Supervisory Board Chairman of Elumatec GmbH, said: “In light of the results we achieved today, our decision to lead Elumatec on a sustainable path of restructuring, has proved to be the correct course of action. Since the founding of the new Elumatec AG, the company’s value and the value provided for investors has increased significantly. This was made especially clear in the investor

process that was launched half a year ago and managed with great efficiency by the team at Cornelius Treuhand. As a result, today Elumatec is a model of successful restructuring.” Britta Hübner, CEO of Elumatec AG, said: “Our restructuring concept is a resounding success, making it possible for us to continue operating in the global market at full capacity and without the burdens of the past. Cifin possesses an outstanding understanding of our market. This industry solution comes at just the right time. It ensures continuity and growth for our company.” Cifin President Valter Caiumi added: “This acquisition enables both companies to achieve solid growth and a much stronger presence in this economic sector. With ingenuity, expertise and innovative technology, we can increase the added value for our customers, who stand to benefit above all from this outstanding combination.”

In addition to its headquarters and production facility in Mühlacker, Elumatec maintains a sales and production facility in Bosnia-Herzegovina as well as an existing sales and service network of more than 30 subsidiary and second-tier subsidiary companies worldwide. Today the holding company is led by Valter Caiumi, who serves as president, alongside his siblings Andrea and Paola, who sit on the Management Board. Cifin’s brand portfolio includes a number of synergistic companies including Emmegi, Tekna, Emmegisoft and Keraglass. The companies controlled by the holding represent market leaders in the production of processing technologies for aluminium, PVC, light metal and glass. In addition to the company headquarters in Soliera (Modena), Cifin Holding also owns production facilities in Piacenza, Reggio Emilia and Suzhou (China).

Following its acquisition by Cifin/Emmergi, Elumatec AG has become a major player in the manufacture of machines for processing aluminium, PVC and steel profiles. With its extensive product range, the company covers the entire spectrum of industrial applications, from small craftsman’s businesses to industrial profile processors. Today the company’s custom-designed and modular machinery concepts provide flexible and individual industry solutions for all manufacturing sectors.
