From a craft-made reality...

The founder, Giancarlo De Molli, immediately knew how to combine traditional values of the "know how" experience with the great potential of cutting edge technology.

In 1964 the production of hinges for motor vehicles began, starting with hot steel forming.

In the late '60s, De Molli Giancarlo Industrie S.p.a. acquires the first electric induction furnace that will revolutionize forever its method of industrial production.

...to the market leadership

Today, Giancarlo De Molli Industrie S.p.a. holds the leadership in hot and cold steel and aluminium manufacturing and forming, using mechanical and hydraulic presses, induction furnaces and other specific tools.

Current size and importance are the result of a steady growth in every field of activity.

As a pioneer and a visionary, Giancarlo De Molli's values are now imprinted in our everyday activities.

CLIENTSPRODUCTS

WHAT WE DO:

22

Design, combined with research and development, characterizes all of our products.The R&D department is made up and run by highly qualified engineers that, starting from mathematical models or a specific design, are able, also with the assistance of CAD centers, to develop and manage the entire process.

We carry out projects developed on internal specifications, but we can also build, according to specific customer requirements, any kind of product, providing co-design and co-engineering services.

This philosophy has enabled us to register several patents in several industrial fields, whether properties or shared with customers

PROJECTS



23

PROCESSES OPTIMIZATION

We perform a continuous production monitoring through the use of techniques of statistical analysis.

We look always to the customer satisfaction respecting all the PPM imposed targets.

Constant process monitoring allows us to improve the production and become more competitive.

Our focus on continuous improvement leads us to do more and more automatic controls, allowing us to certify 100% of the critical features of each product.



24

Our equipments include high precision detection tools, electronic control devices for production and simulation.

Our testing department is able to both self-certify our products and obtain the more complex approvals (Iveco, Ferrari, IMQ, RFI, Terna, Enel, Telecom).

TEST



25

WE ARE FLEXIBLE

We use the latest cutting edge technology for prototypes and serial production, as well as the self-construction of molds, equipment and dedicated machine tools.

Our high flexibility allows us, without any problem, to deal with both niche and larger volumes productions.



26

MEET EVERY NEED

We have developed a full ability to design and produce according to customer specifications, or simply starting from an idea or particular needs.

Our best features are flexibility, speed and innovation, which together provide us with the opportunity to realize industrialization and prototyping, in a few weeks work, starting from 3D

models, 2D drawings or samples to tridimensionally detect.



27

Our philosophy of "continuous improvement" to all manufacturing processes has allowed us to get all the most important quality certifications.

The property and the craftsmen work daily towards a common goal: safety.

Professionals and consultants also take regular educational and awareness class in full compliance with in force law.

OUR CERIFICATIONS

Our need to be professionals in every area of our production has led us to specialize our technicians in various fields, through specific courses for welding and non-destructive testing.

Road transport / Isothermal vehicles

We are suppliers for leading commercial vehicles manufacturers, for whom we constantly develop and produce hinges and latches for isothermal vehicles.

“PRODUCTS THAT REACH - 40° C”

An effective example is embodied by NoGuide: an innovative hinge without a guide for external walls and floor.



31

We design and manufacture new products for applications in architecture, interior finished, construction and appliances.

Today our greatest challenge is to put to use of these fields all our expertise.

In particular, our hinges for refrigerators with patented systems for closing retarders offer solutions of practical use and enhance at the same time the design of the door.

“PRODUCTS OPENED FOR HOUSE”
