Gruppo Cividale (legal entity Cividale spa) is a privately held Italian industrial group, headquartered in Tavagnacco (Udine) and founded in 1968, that manufactures large-format steel and iron castings, steel forgings, aluminium die-castings and enamelled wire for heavy-industry OEM customers. Through 18 production facilities in Italy and wholly-owned subsidiaries in Canada, Russia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, the group operates a vertically integrated chain spanning in-house pattern and core shops (Sirio), foundries (Acciaieria Fonderia Cividale, Farem, Inossman, Flag/Ifi), a forge (Facs Fucine), and machining shops (LMC 1–4, Rössl & Duso). Production capacity reaches roughly 190,000 tons of castings and 25,000 tons of ingots per year, with single-piece casting weights up to 80 tons and forgings up to 20 tons, supported by the Danieli Q-ONE IGBT-based electric arc furnace management system at AFC.

The group's product portfolio spans eleven categories — gas and steam turbine casings and shafts, hydraulic turbine runners and wicket gates (Francis, Kaplan, Pelton), valve bodies and bonnets for oil & gas and LNG, pump and compressor components, shipbuilding castings (propellers, spoon bows for icebreakers), large structural components for bridges and stadiums (tensostrutture), forging ingots in carbon, construction, tool and stainless/duplex grades, plus automotive and household appliance parts via ZML Industries. Customers include global OEMs such as General Electric, Siemens, Alstom, MAN Turbomaschinen, Voith, Fincantieri, Sulzer, Flowserve, Danieli, Magna, Bosch, Mahle, Electrolux, Hyundai, IHI and Ebara, with multi-year, quote-based contracts in energy, oil & gas, petrochemical, shipbuilding, construction, automotive and household appliance sectors. The group is led by President Chiara Valduga and operates under extensive third-party certifications (PED, ISO 9001/14001/45001, IATF 16949, NORSOK, ABS, DNV GL, Lloyd's Register, Bureau Veritas, RINA).
