Code word: automating bending Studio 54 has been working in the field of professional refrigeration since 1994, supplying a wide range of products that guarantee top efficiency and reliability. Upright cabinets, counters and tables, chill blasters, display units and walls, as well as minibars and hot display cabinets, meet every organizational need for food preparation, conservation and display for the Ho.Re.Ca and retail (supermarket) sectors. In addition to its standard product range, which is appreciated for the quality of the materials used and its typically Italian contemporary design, Studio 54 also produces highly customized and tailored products to meet its clients’ specific needs. “The company was founded with limited financial resources,” says Marco Bruseghin, Chairman of the Studio 54 BoD, “but with great passion, that of myself and my partners. Ours is a success story: today Studio 54 has 52 employees, 18 of which are office workers and 34 production staff; we produce around 7000 parts a year, with a turnover of around 15 million EUR, and we work in a global market: around 40% of our turnover comes from Italy, 50% from the rest of Europe, and 10% from Russia, the Arab countries, the United States, Canada and Australia. Obviously we aim to expand and penetrate new markets.”
A modern workshop Since 2015, having reached financial stability and set aside the necessary resources, to improve its efficiency, Studio 54 has progressively renewed its machinery fleet, investing in advanced production equipment. The green light for this authentic revolution was given by the optical fiber laser cutting machine, which guarantees huge benefits in machining stainless steel. And after carefully scouting the market, Studio 54 opted for a Salvagnini L5 high-dynamic fiber laser, with 3000x1500 work range and 2 kW source, connected to an ADLL automatic loading/unloading system and an MCL automatic sorting device, able to work unmanned. The results have been more than satisfactory: handling after cutting has become much simpler and safer to manage, and today the L5 system runs for around 20 hours a day.
