This great achievement confirms Viteria Fusani's solid reputation and its constant development 65 years after its foundation. IATF 16949 certifies the company’s quality and full compliance to the requirements for automotive industry suppliers and also includes the standard references to ISO 9001 requirements.

In a frame of continuous research, aimed at providing cutting edge products with top-class performances and functionalities, Viteria Fusani presents its new demagnetized screws.

A metallic object can be considered magnetized when its value of residual magnetism exceeds 10 Gauss. Generally speaking, every object surrounding us has by nature a residual magnetism that exceeds this value, but usually this is not a problem. Just to make an example: a ø15 mm magnet can easily have a residual magnetism value that exceeds 1000 Gauss, while metal pieces with a value of 70-100 Gauss can attract at most iron dust. However, when dealing with pieces of a few grams, such as precision screws, even a very low value of 10 Gauss can create troubles with in-line assembly, as screws may cling to metal components and cause annoying jammings and machine downtime.

The residual magnetism value of steel used for screw manufacturing is almost zero; however, when the steel is processed it is subject to several stresses, both structural due to deformation, or thermal, due to heating and cooling during heat treatment and galvanization. As a natural consequence of these stresses, screws become magnetized.

Thanks to an in-house R&D department and the problem solving abilities of the whole staff, Viteria Fusani has implemented its own demagnetizing process with an equipment dedicated to the detection of magnetism on the pieces, that combined with a demagnetization line allows to manufacture screws with a residual value lower than 5 Gauss.

Initiated on the occasion of the Milan Design Week 2018, the first U-Joints exhibition was an eclectic introduction to the topic of connections. Taking a look at the multifaceted world of joints, Andrea Caputo and his team broke joints open, organised them by material and production processes, reassembled them into prototypes, and used them in real-world applications. This introduction launched the U-Joints research project, which is now in the process of investigating different kinds of connections more deeply, almost in the furniture and carpentry. U-Joints exhibition, designed by Camille Blin at Galerie l’elac of ECAL in Lausanne is dedicated to very basic fasteners, the exhibition features a large selection of nails, screws, rivets, bolts and nuts, alongside products created by 20 international designers. Viteria Fusani has been contacted by the architect Andrea Caputo – Milan- and supplied special screws manufactured in the plant of Valle Lomellina (PV).

Viteria fusani got the ”Cribis Prime Company” as recognition of maximum commercial reliability.
This recognition is based on the Cribis rating, a dynamic and constantly updated indicator of a company's reliability.

The second edition of Fastener Fair in Milan on 26 and 27 September saw the participation of 2700 visitors, including  Italian 72%  and 28% foreigners from 62 Countries.
During the event we met some of our customers and we could exchange comments on the year that is coming to the end and look at prospects for the new year.
The period of this event falls just in the last part of the year in which and people think about the budgets for the following year and evaluates opportunities to insert new projects.
Milan is an important attraction for the business, attracting interested visitors from all over the world.
In our stand, not only examples of all the range specialties we produced were visible, but also some applications where our screws are used.
We believe that the Fastener Fair has been an excellent show for us  and we thank all the visitors who have shared this experience with us.

Starting from 1998 Viteria Fusani has a certified Quality Management System and next July it will be updated according to the ISO 9001:2015 standard.
But there is something new: Viteria Fusani has set among the objectives for the year 2019, the achievement of the IATF certification 16949-2016 to meet the needs of the Automotive sector, improving efficiency, defect prevention, customer satisfaction and quality assurance.
Reaching this goal will bring benefits to all the customers, regardless of the sector they belong to.
This choice shows that Viteria Fusani wants to give continuity to its own history and to its own experience that for over 60 years puts every day at the customers' disposal.

A successful experience for Viteria Fusani at Fastener Fair for the first time in Italy in Milan 28 - 29 September 2016.
We got the opportunity to meet our customers and share with them the results obtained so far and discuss new projects. Moreover, this event allowed us to meet new companies from various sectors that have shown interest in our production of special screws.
We thank all visitors of our stand and wait for them again at the next edition in 2018 in Milan!

Viteria Fusani, specialists in the production of special screws for every type of application since 1955, was interviewed by telePAVIA on account if its leading role in the territory. With the support of swift, precise machines, the company transforms tons of steel into 1,500,000 items every day, intended for the widest range of sectors. Fusani is able to create every typology of screw, from the smallest to the most complex. In recent years, moreover, it has developed the necessary experience to meet the challenges of an increasingly exacting and diversified market by producing special screws requiring top performance, high precision dimensions and using special materials.

The complete interview is available on the video.

With pride and satisfaction, Viteria Fusani, a company specializing in the production of standard and special screws for every typology of application, is celebrating its first sixty years of company activity. With the support of swift, precise and reliable machines, the company transforms tons of steel into 1,500,000 items every day, intended for the widest range of sectors. The company is able to create every typology of standard screw, from the smallest to the most complex. In recent years, moreover, it has developed the necessary experience to meet the challenges of an increasingly exacting and diversified market by producing special screws requiring specific performance, dimensions and materials. Metric screws, self-tapping screws and special screws with numerous threads, heads, materials, processing systems and coatings have been Viteria Fusani’s boast and passion for sixty years.

To our great satisfaction, numerous visitors showed interest in the Viteria Fusani stand. We thank all of these for their attention towards our range of special screws made to customers’ designs. We are receiving many requests, which we will assess with due care in order to offer a product that stands out by its quality. Fastener Fair provides an opportunity to measure ourselves against the competition, but also to meet customers and suppliers on a unique occasion, in a city that is at the heart of Europe and therefore in a position to assume a strategic role for an event of this importance for the sector.

We give below an interesting interview with Viteria Fusani which appeared in the June issue of the magazine Tecnologie del Filo, published by Tecniche Nuove.
Artist’s Screws
When a screw is “tailor-made” to meet special applicative needs, the final result can often be compared to a small but significant work of art, signed by its creator. An example of this is found in a screw manufacturer in the territory of Pavia that has been trading for almost sixty years.
During our tour of Italy, we have often noted how complicated it can be to create these (usually) tiny and indispensable fixing elements, particularly when they are special screws, made to a customer’s design. As screw manufacturers well know, above all those specializing in this latter type of production, apart from the intrinsic difficulty of creating the product, you also have to take the machinery into account. We refer here to cold moulders which, over the years, apart from a gradual increase in productivity, now exponential, have not succeeded in benefitting from other technological evolutions that might make them less dependent on highly qualified operators. This contrasts with other sectors that have seen evolutions of this kind, such as lathe-cutting, where CNC machines and robots have gradually reduced human intervention to almost nothing. In short, if in the past, operators who “knew the ropes” were needed to make screws and bolts, they’re still needed today and not having them can be a serious problem. Fortunately, this is no problem for Viteria Fusani S.r.l., whom we visited in their long-established premises in Valle Lomellina (PV).
