Vimi Fasteners

What Vimi Fasteners does

Vimi Fasteners S.p.A. is an Italian manufacturer of high-precision fastening systems founded in 1967 (originally as Viterie Mirabello) and headquartered in Novellara, Reggio Emilia. The company designs and produces engineered fasteners — bolts, studs, screws and tie-rods — in carbon and stainless steels, nickel alloys, titanium (Ti6Al4V) and superalloys, achieving breaking limits up to 1,900 MPa, tensile strength over 1,200 MPa in titanium, and operating envelopes from -200°C to 700°C+. Manufacturing is fully verticalized in-house (heading, heat treatment, precision machining, quality testing) across three Italian plants (Novellara, Albese con Cassano via subsidiary MF Inox Srl, Alpignano via subsidiary Filostamp Srl), and the firm holds AS9100D, IATF 16949, ISO 9001/14001/45001 certifications supporting aerospace, automotive, motorsport, oil & gas, energy and infrastructure customers. Its product set includes mission-critical fasteners for powertrains, turbochargors, braking, suspension, exhaust, engine internals, subsea/valve assemblies, wind/nuclear/hydro infrastructure and aerospace/motorsport structures.

Vimi operates as a B2B enterprise sales organization with a co-engineering model: technical sales teams engage OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers on custom specifications, supported by wholly-owned sales subsidiaries in Germany (Rommerskirchen) and the United States (Charlotte, NC) and a representative office in Shanghai. The group went public on AIM Italia (ticker VIM) in August 2018 alongside the acquisition of MF Inox, followed by the 2022 acquisition of Filostamp. Revenue is generated 100% from the Fasteners segment and totaled €55.98M / $55.98M in 2025 (a 1.5% YoY increase), with the EU contributing €25.70M. Vertical mix is concentrated in Automotive/Supercars and Aerospace/Motorsport as primary segments, supplemented by Mid/Heavy Duty Trucks, Offroad/Agriculture, Infrastructure, Energy/Marine, and Oil & Gas. The most recent strategic launch is the patented No-Contact Smart Bolts monitoring system (2026), which uses sensors and machine learning to verify threaded-joint integrity without modifying the bolt, opening a sensor-software adjacency to the core fastener business.
