Maspero

What Maspero does

Maspero F.lli S.r.l. is a family-owned Italian hot forging manufacturer founded in 1963 and headquartered in Orsenigo, Como province. The company produces custom hot forged components in alloyed and unalloyed steel, stainless steel, and aluminum, using presses and hammers together with latest-generation computerized ovens. Production capability spans parts from a few grams up to 30 kg with a maximum length of 700 mm, manufactured to customer drawings and samples.

The core technology stack is conventional but tightly integrated: in-house CAD/CAM design of new items and their dies, with dies produced directly at the company premises. Secondary processing — mechanical machining, heat treatment, galvanic treatment, and certified laboratory testing — is offered through an established external supplier network, allowing Maspero to deliver near-finished components while keeping capital intensity focused on forging itself. The company is certified to UNI EN ISO 9001:2015 via SQS with IQNet recognition, supporting qualification for industrial OEM supply.

Commercially, Maspero operates a B2B custom manufacturing model: customers submit drawings or samples and receive quote-based pricing determined by specifications, volumes, and required downstream treatments. The go-to-market is sales-led and direct, with department-specific email contacts and a multi-language (Italian, English, German) website signalling cross-border outreach into DACH industrial buyers. Customers are industrial manufacturers across four main verticals: building/construction, automotive, agricultural earth-moving equipment, and hand tools/furnishings. Management is held by Fausto Maspero with his three sons leading production, quality control, and die design, combining multi-generational forging expertise with hands-on technical specialisation.
