San Polo Lamiere

What San Polo Lamiere does

San Polo Lamiere SpA is a privately held Italian steel service center founded in 1968 and headquartered in San Polo di Torrile, Parma. The company processes hot-rolled, cold-rolled, coated (zinc, aluminum-zinc, zinc-magnesium), and electrogalvanized steel coils into sheets, strips, and blanks for industrial customers. It operates three production plants totaling 117,000 square meters with 250,000 tonnes of annual throughput capacity.

The company's three core processing services are spianatura (cut-to-length and leveling, 0.5–20mm thickness, up to 2,020mm width), nastratura (slitting into strips, 0.6–8mm thickness, up to 2,000mm width), and bandellatura (high-precision four-side blanking). An in-house R&D laboratory performs material testing to EN 10204 3.1 under ISO 9001:2015 procedures, and the company holds ISO 14001:2015 environmental certification. Product grades span structural, forming, high-strength low-alloy, boron, pressure-vessel, gas-container (P245NB–P355NB), and enamelling steels.

San Polo Lamiere generates revenue through direct B2B sales to industrial manufacturers on a custom-quote basis, with a commercial structure handling feasibility studies. It serves six primary verticals — construction, automotive, gas containers, agriculture, elevators, and home appliances — with 900+ customers in Italy and abroad. The company operates as a member of Gruppo San Polo alongside sister companies Armet, Tecnopali, and Italpack. It is privately held, privately financed, and does not disclose revenue.
