What Dal Zotto does

Officine Dal Zotto Srl Unipersonale is an Italian, family-owned precision mechanical machining company founded in 1980 by Lino Dal Zotto and headquartered in Arsiero, Vicenza. With over 45 years of operating history, the company produces large-scale forged and rolled metal components — including rings, flanges, turbine housings, aerospace structural parts and special flight hardware — for the Industrial and Aerospace sectors. Its machine fleet comprises vertical CNC lathes (Toshulin SKIQ 30 and 20, Dinomax, Schiess VM4 with 6,000 mm diameter / 80-ton capacity, CN50) and an FPT M+ARX moving column mill with 12,000 mm X-axis travel, supported by a temperature-controlled metrology laboratory (Wenzel Gantry CMM, Trimos, Laser Tracker Vantage 3D). The firm holds ISO 9001 (since 2001) and AS9100 (since 2011) certifications from DNV GL.

Dal Zotto serves two primary end markets. In Aerospace, it supplies flight components, special rings, lifting and handling fixtures, and testing equipment for European launcher programs including Vega C and Ariane 6, and participates in the ET-Pathfinder subatomic-physics research project via Alca Technology. In Industrial, it addresses power generation (wind towers, nuclear, hydroelectric), oil & gas (flanges, connectors, tubesheets with full 3.1 certification and NDT documentation), mechanical transmission (gearboxes, slewing rings, planetary drives), and general mechanics (autoclave rings, ropeway pulleys, machine tool rotary tables), with a reference project on Panama Canal bulkhead forging.

The business model is project-based custom B2B manufacturing with no standard pricing tiers; pricing is determined per spec, material, complexity and volume. Revenue is generated through direct enterprise sales — no distributor network — supplemented by event-driven engagement (Paris Air Show, Aerospace & Defence Meeting Turin, Cluster IR4I) and a multilingual website with LinkedIn, Facebook and YouTube presence. Vertically integrated services span raw-material sourcing from certified EU suppliers, design (via the 2020-established Dal Zotto Engineering department in partnership with F.lli Meneghetti and Dalpitech), production planning, machining, 3D inspection and final assembly, including cold/hot fitting with liquid nitrogen operations.
