Carlo Salvi S.p.A. was founded in 1939 and has developed over its 80 years of operation form a mechanical engineering company with a technical focus into a modern forming company with a focus on customers and solutions.
When Mr. Carlo Salvi founded his company in Italy in 1939 started by developing systems for mechanical descaling. Only few years later, he started to develop and build a machine for the thread rolling and manufacturing screw heads and bolts.
After the Second World War, Carlo Salvi developed its first forming machine, a one-die two-blow header to manufacture screw blanks that offered to the users a high level of productivity for the time.
At the start of 1970s he started developing and manufacturing forming machines to produce screws, bolts and rivets not only solid, but also semi tubular and tubular.
Other milestone in the history of the company include the development of machines for processing materials such as stainless steel and titanium. The requirements of the aerospace sector in particular involve processing the particular materials.
Today, 90% of the machines manufactured by the company are delivered to customers outside Italy and approximately 40% of them to customers outside Europe. For this reason, Carlo Salvi has over the years established branches in China, in the Usa and in the United Kingdom.
