Caleotto on sustainability in the iron supply chain at Wire & Cable Milan

Product innovation and process optimization are closely tied to sustainability. This is the message that Caleotto wanted to highlight at Wire & Cable Milan, the international technical conference held on October 16 and jointly organized by ACIMAF and WAI (The Wire Association International).

Carlo Galluzzi, Quality Engineer at Caleotto spa, presented the results of a research project conducted in collaboration with Politecnico di Milano’s Lecco campus. The research focused on the influence of process parameters on the mechanical properties and surface oxide (so-called "scale") of hot-rolled wire rod.

The study specifically emphasized Caleotto's capability to control all process parameters, providing different calamine thicknesses suitable for different scaling methodologies. The results of the study align perfectly with Caleotto's and the entire Feralpi Group's values, confirming their commitment to investing in research to enhance product quality, all while focusing on the environment and collaborations with significant local entities.

As a testament to Caleotto's approach of "networking for continued growth," the Italy-based company recently solidified a new membership with EiFi, the European Industrial Fasteners Institute, a nonprofit association that has been promoting and safeguarding European manufacturers of ferrous and non-ferrous metal industrial fasteners such as bolts, screws, washers, nuts, rivets, and other components since 1977.

Knowledge sharing and the creation of valuable relationships and partnerships remain central pillars of the company's philosophy and identity. This new synergy with EiFi will enable Caleotto to participate in upcoming technical events across Europe, offering the opportunity to exchange insights, practical experiences, and information within this specific industry.
