Sala Punzoni strengthens equipment and production with a major reorganization

In the metal forming sector, technological innovation and production process optimization are key factors in maintaining competitiveness and efficiency. Against this backdrop, Sala Punzoni srl, an Italian company specializing in the design and manufacturing of stamping and thread rolling tools, has recently completed a significant technological and infrastructural reorganization.
Founded in 1966 in the province of Lecco, Lake Como, under the name of its founder, Mr. Sala Giovanni, the company quickly established itself for the high quality of its products, professionalism, flexibility, and ability to meet a wide range of customer requirements. It has become one of the world's leading manufacturers of special punches, steel and carbide tooling, and thread rolling tools, managing all production processes internally—from raw material procurement to customer delivery.
Over the past four years, Sala Punzoni has implemented an investment plan aimed at strengthening its machine shop and improving operational efficiency, tackling the challenges of an ever-evolving market with determination.
A 360° structural upgrade
The company has undertaken improvements on multiple fronts, starting with the modernization of its facilities. The entire fume extraction system, lighting, heating, and cooling systems, as well as the oil distribution and filtration, have all been replaced. At the same time, the relocation of 60 CNC machines allowed for a reorganization of the production layout, enhancing internal logistics and operational efficiency.
These innovations were accompanied by a significant investment in capital goods and new machining centers. Management also benefited from optimization, with the implementation of a new ERP system and a brand-new updated website. On the human resources side, the company expanded its workforce and renovated common areas, including the cafeteria and locker rooms, to improve employee comfort.
These transformations were carried out during an especially complex period, marked by the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and the crisis in the automotive sector. Nevertheless, Sala Punzoni remained focused on structural and technological advancements to strengthen its market position.
A customer-oriented technological enhancement
The primary goal of the reorganization was to respond even more effectively to customer requests. The company sought to increase production capacity while also enhancing technical and commercial consulting, providing more comprehensive and responsive support to its industrial partners.
Dario Sala, the company’s CEO, emphasized: "We strive to meet our customers’ needs from every angle, offering increasingly efficient and specialized technical, commercial, and consulting support."
New market opportunities
While this transformation is now complete, Sala Punzoni is looking ahead with a clear objective: expanding its presence in new industries. Recent innovations, combined with the high level of automation in its machine shop, enable the company to explore high-value markets, leveraging its production flexibility and expertise.
