The Cavatorta group was founded in 1961 with the construction of its first factory in Calestano (Parma). Mesh for fencing and triple meshes were produced followed by the drawing and zinc coating of wires. Since then electro-welded, zinc and plastic coated wire mesh has been produced and ultimately, the jewel in the crown of the Cavatorta range of products, nails, manufactured with modern, fully automated systems. During the 1970s the Group went through an expansion phase in production and a brand new factory was built in Mosciano S. Angelo. Other branches were soon to follow across Italy....

Cavatorta is internationally known as a company which still retains thetitalian flair and character. In a global market with new challenges there is attendency tto close productiontlocally and produce elsewheretespecially in emerging marketstwith subsequenttnegative effects on both the european and italian economies and on the quality of the products. Cavatorta is one of the few Companies which decided to keep both its production facilities and management in Italy. Cavatorta has also logistic and production sitestin France, England and Portugal in order to be more competitive in the...

Cavatorta products are designed and manufactured in compliance with UNI-EN standards; by deciding to comply with these standards, Cavatorta has made a commitment to offering solutions with features and properties (e.g.: diameter of wires, resistance of welding points, thickness of protective coatings, etc.) whose quality is recognised throughout Europe and beyond. Below are the main quality standards Cavatorta diligently adheres to: characteristics I ref.standards The quality of Cavatorta products is evident in a number of "signs" that offer a guarantee of an elegant, sturdy, safe and...

A high quality product requires high quality raw materials. Cavatorta carefully selects steel rods from manufacturers in Italy and across Europe. The raw materials used vary according to the mechanical properties required for the final product. When drawing low carbon wires (C 0.08% max, Mn 0.45% max, P 0.03% max and S 0.035% max) and medium carbon wires (C 0.7% max, Mn 0.7% max, P 0.025% max and S 0.025% max) the rods are chemically analysed in the laboratory. Load, elongation capacity, integrity, structures (the dimension of molecules, which make up the rod) and hardness (level of...

FROM WIRES TO OTHER FINISHED PRODUCTS The electro-welded mesh products are made with horizontally and vertically arranged zinc coated wires, which are welded together. This results in a product with high rigidity and durability not found in other mesh. After welding this mesh can be either zinc or PVC /ires knotted together to provide strength and flexibility. The wires in chainlink mesh are twisted together with a single wind to give exceptional adaptability during installation even with widely varying ground levels. With hexagonal shaped mesh the wires are held together by...

SAFETY GUARANTEE FOR PEOPLE AND ENVIRONMENT GREEN TOUCH Cavatorta's processes and products carry the Green Touch brand. Green Touch is a safety guarantee for people and environment. CERTIFIED RESPECT FOR THE ENVIRONMENT Cavatorta products are made using high quality raw materials, which have been handled according to the eco-sustainable processes detailed in UNI EN ISO14001:2004. This internationally acknowledged certification focuses growing concern over the environment by encouraging continuous improvement of systems performance with technologies that support a more prudent use of...

Reducing the environmental impact of the production processes has always been one of Cavatorta Group's strategic objectives. Our efforts, aimed at protecting the environment and health, have found an exceptional partner in the European Commission which, through the financial instrument LIFE, is supporting and sustaining our commitment to sustainable development. "ESD - Eco Sustainable Drawing" LIFE04 ENV/IT/000598 Project The first project, undertaken by Metallurgica Abruzzese, allowed to demonstrate the feasibility of a new environmentally friendly system for the treatment of rods and...

Adherence: The ability of a superficial coating to attach itself to the surface of the wire at every point. During hot zinc coating of steel wire this ability is enhanced by the formation of a layer of iron/zinc alloy which forms an interface between the steel and zinc. During plastic coating by sintering of zinc coated wire or fencing mesh, adherence is achieved by immersing the wire in a primer bath which encourages the PVCto anchor itself to the base wire. Annealing: Thisis used to provide a steel with improved hardness. Wire is heated to a high temperature and are then cooled rapidly....

PATENTED MODEL THE EVOLUTION OF FENCING MESH This fencing is made from electro-welded, plastic-coated wire with differentiated and octagonal shaped meshes. The vertical (linear) and horizontal (shaped) wires of the electro-welded mesh are made in zinc coated steel. Plastic coating is obtained through the exclusive sintering process "Galvaplax Process" created by Cavatorta. Mainly for use in fencing for residential and industrial areas. Its performance is guaranteed for over 10 years if used in normal condition. Decoplax Evoluzione fencing mesh is sold in rolls of 25 m on pallets with 9...
