Airoldi Metalli

What Airoldi Metalli does

Airoldi Metalli S.p.a. is an Italian non-ferrous metals distributor and metal-service center headquartered in Molteno, Province of Lecco, Lombardy. Operating continuously since 1836, the company sources, stocks and processes aluminum and complementary non-ferrous metals for industrial B2B customers. Its core product portfolio spans aluminum bars (round, square, hexagonal, flat) in alloys including 2007, 2011, 2017, 2024, 5083, 6026, 6026LF, 6082, 7020 and 7075; aluminum profiles (U, T, L, angular) primarily in 6060; aluminum tubes (round, square, rectangular) in 6060, 6063 and 6082; aluminum strips, sheets, and laminated/milled plates/plaques; plus stainless steel (AISI 303/304/316), bronze, brass and copper products.

Value-added processing is the second revenue pillar and centers on a custom-cutting service center equipped with five computer-controlled band saws capable of sectioning plates up to 1000 mm thickness with -0/+3 mm tolerances, complemented by disc cutting, circular cutting, ring cutting, milling, and heat treatment services. The company also offers custom profile manufacturing to customer drawings (including anodized finishes) and PVC-protected sheets for laser and fiber laser cutting. Service capabilities are the principal differentiator against pure-play aluminum traders.

The business model is sales-led direct B2B with quote-based pricing. Airoldi Metalli serves industrial manufacturers, precision engineering firms, and aerospace/automotive and construction/furniture customers, primarily in northern Italy. Distribution is geographically concentrated: company-operated delivery covers Lombardy in 1-2 working days and northern Italy in 1-3 days, with central and southern Italy served through national courier partnerships. The firm is privately held with a €750,000 share capital, no disclosed institutional ownership, and no external funding history. Marketing is conducted through the corporate website (with an Italian and English version), technical datasheets, and a sustained program of regional sports sponsorships, including the company-organized Trofeo Airoldi Metalli (13th edition in 2026) and a partnership with Alex Zanardi's Obiettivo3 paralympic initiative. The company received the 2019 Premio Industria Felix award for Best International Vocation in Lombardy.
