Thanks to Breton machinery, Aviolamer, a key player in the aviation industry has achieved successful results. But not only - the two models purchased have opened the doors onto new and significant applications.
When talking about precision engineering to increase production capacity it is of utmost importance to invest in technology, know-how and training.
On paper everything seems to work smoothly but in practice there are quite a few difficulties to deal with and to overcome.
The main problem is the capital to invest and the risk that the return on investment is affected by negative market fluctuations in sales and orders. Investing in latest generation technology means increasing the possibility of adopting new production instruments and tools.
Looking up at the sky
The driving markets are those in which technology is the core element. Therefore, it is not surprising why those companies in the aviation business that invest manage to maintain their market share and continue to grow and expand.
This is Aviolamer, a young enterprise built on solid foundations. Aviolamer, founded in 1998, can draw on the thirty years of experience of its personnel.
“Our first approach towards the aviation business was that of producing spare parts in engineered materials for Finmeccanica and Alenia" Ermano Zaccone - General Manager at Aviolamer – explains “ After which we began developing and producing more complex parts and related equipment".
Today the core business is in aviation but the know-how and experience built over the years have allowed this company to become a prime supplier to some of the major groups in the automotive industry as Fiat, Iveco and Psa Renault.
“Two years ago we expanded into the aerospace industry thanks to the collaboration with Alenia Space on the Sirius project" Mr Zaccone goes on to say " We received compliments from NASA for the equipment produced for the walkways and access ladders for mounting the capsule flooring. It was extremely exciting and wouldn’t have been possible without the use of high quality technological instruments and tools. In fact, the investment made in the Breton Eagle and Matrix machining and milling centres was spot on".
A winning choice
Working in the aviation business means high precision and minimum tolerances.
“The machinery and equipment we had were pushed to their limits” Mr Zaccone explains “and we found we had to buy new models”.
There are many companies on the market that offer similar machines: Why choose Breton?
“Why? Because when you contact Breton you immediately get the impression that you are talking to company that truly focuses on customer specific needs and requirements. Despite the large size of this organisation, they know how to maintain contact with the market and end users, and have the right attitude to deal with any doubt or problem you might have. We also had the chance to see Breton plants and equipment in operation in other sites both in Italy and abroad and the first impression was positive and later on confirmed. And finally it’s an Italian company. Aviolamer's policy is try and find solutions on the domestic market and only when there are no other alternatives or options we turn to foreign suppliers. Being an Italian company it's satisfying when you are acknowledged for what you do and I believe we have to do the same with other buisnesses.”
But there’s more. “In the past we worked with other companies, that, unfortunately for various problems were not able to improve their products or even worse had to closedown” Mr Zaccone goes on to say " Studying Breton you can see the desire to grow and expand by investing and innovating, offering state-of-the-art technologies without stopping and without 'resting on one's laurels'. This is our approach to the market and this is why we work well with Breton." Read Part 2 >>;
