Arizzi Fonderie

What Arizzi Fonderie does

Arizzi Fonderie San Giorgio S.p.A. is a privately held, family-owned Italian iron foundry founded in 1954 by Giovanni Arizzi and currently led by CEO Claudio Arizzi. Operating from a 20,000+ square metre plant in Albino (Bergamo) with a registered office in Gazzaniga, the company produces custom lamellar (grey) and ductile (nodular) cast iron castings to UNI EN 1561, UNI EN 1563, and ASTM standards in weights from 0.100 kg to 1,000 kg. Production uses green sand forming on two automated lines fed by an oxy-combustion melting furnace and three electric pouring furnaces, with in-house heat treatment (ferritisation, normalisation, quenching and tempering, austempering) and a full suite of quality control including chemical and thermal analysis, ultrasonic, radiographic and magnetic inspection, hardness testing, and 3D geometric conformity scanning, with barcode-tracked batch traceability across every production phase.

The company's product portfolio spans engine monoblocks and heads, gearboxes, transmission axles, agricultural machinery components, hydraulic and sewage pump housings, military defence components (satellite carriers and planetary gear ports in EN-GJS-600), and textile machinery components, sold on a custom job-work basis directly to industrial customers across Italy and Europe. It complements casting production with engineering services (digital solidification simulation, reverse engineering from physical samples, co-design) and a managed network of outsourced finishing services including shot blasting, painting, heat treatment, machining, and assembly. Quality and environmental management systems are certified to ISO 9001 (since 1998) and ISO 14001 (since 2011) by Det Norske Veritas, supporting qualification with demanding automotive, defence, and industrial OEM customers.

Arizzi operates a quote-based, direct B2B model with no published pricing: customers contact the company by phone or email to negotiate specifications and lead times per contract, with multi-year contract cadence and delivery handled through qualified transport partners across Italy and Europe. There is no disclosed institutional ownership, no external funding, and no public financial reporting, with revenue mechanics confined to per-order job-work pricing and ancillary finishing fees.

Revenue model

1. Custom Cast Iron Job-Work Production: Arizzi Fonderie operates as a job-work foundry, producing custom iron castings to order for third parties across multiple industry sectors. Customers provide specifications or drawings, and Arizzi handles engineering, pattern making, casting production, finishing, quality certification, and delivery. Pricing and lead times are negotiated per contract. This is the primary revenue stream.
2. Ancillary Finishing and Processing Services: The company offers outsourced finishing services including shot blasting, sandblasting, deburring, painting/phosphatising, heat treatment, mechanical machining, and assembly. These are subcontracted to qualified third-party suppliers selected and managed by Arizzi Fonderie, providing an additional revenue stream or bundled offering for customers.
