1995: technological innovation at the foundry

The technological innovation continues in the 1990s. A new melting plant was installed at Proferro in 1995, a modern duplex unit with a furnace capacity of 18 to 27 tons per hour. In 1996, Proferro started with the production and sale of nodular cast iron in response to the changing market demand. That year, the long-heralded investment for the finishing of frames (or bâtis) became a reality: three horizontal numerically controlled machining centers of the Mandelli-type were connected to a central computer.
