Forgiatura A. Vienna

What Forgiatura A. Vienna does

Forgiatura A. Vienna S.r.l. is an Italian heavy forging manufacturer specializing in medium and large open-die and heavy-rolled forged components for the nuclear power industry. Founded in the early 1960s and headquartered in Rho (Milan), Italy, the company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of GIVA S.p.A., an Italian family-owned steel-products conglomerate. Since the early 2000s, Forgiatura A. Vienna has positioned itself as a reference supplier of nuclear-grade forged components, serving nuclear power plant operators, EPC contractors, and the ITER international fusion project. Its product portfolio spans nine core nuclear component categories: steam generators, collectors, spherical heads, tube sheets, nuclear transportation and storage casks, cooling pump system components, core make-up tanks, and ITER tokamak components in specialty materials such as 20MND5, 316L(N)-IG, and Steel 660.

The company's production capability rests on a vertically integrated asset base that includes scrap melting and re-melting facilities, several forging presses up to 100k tons, ring rolling equipment, in-house heat treatment furnaces, and finishing machining equipment. A dedicated Process Engineering function staffed by experienced engineers and equipped with digital monitoring devices is used to define custom manufacturing processes for each nuclear-grade order. The company holds the principal international nuclear certifications, including the ASME Code Sec. III Quality System Certificate as a Material Organization, RCC-M Part Qualification for steam generator shell barrels in 20MND5, RCC-MR qualification for ITER forgings, and additional EU and Asian nuclear regulatory approvals.

Forgiatura A. Vienna operates a direct B2B enterprise sales model targeting nuclear operators and contractors worldwide, with no public revenue disclosure. Pricing is quote-based and procurement-driven, consistent with bespoke nuclear-grade components subject to strict qualification requirements. Revenue derives from one-off, long-cycle manufacturing contracts under nuclear project procurement frameworks, with the GIVA Group providing captive supply chain integration across ingots, forgings, valves, and actuators. Geographic reach is global via the GIVA network and international certifications, though specific revenue mix by region is not disclosed.

Broad incumbents

• Bharat Forge: Indian diversified forging conglomerate serving automotive, power, and nuclear sectors. Comparable as a large-scale forging group with nuclear-grade capabilities, though with a much broader product portfolio.
• Doosan Enerbility: Korean diversified nuclear and power equipment manufacturer, including large forged components for nuclear reactors. Overlaps with Forgiatura A. Vienna as a broader nuclear supply chain player rather than a forging specialist.
• Framatome: French nuclear reactor OEM that designs and supplies nuclear steam supply systems, sourcing heavy forgings from qualified suppliers. Comparable as a customer/ecosystem participant in the nuclear forged components value chain.

Direct peers

• Scot Forge: US-based open-die and ring-rolled forging manufacturer serving power generation, nuclear, and industrial markets. Comparable in forging process capabilities and customer overlap in heavy industrial applications.
• Sheffield Forgemasters: UK-based producer of large open-die forgings and castings for nuclear, defense, and power generation. Most direct comparable to Forgiatura A. Vienna in terms of nuclear-grade heavy forging capabilities and customer base.
• Lehigh Heavy Forge: US-based open-die forging specialist (part of Ellwood Group) producing large nuclear and industrial forgings. Directly comparable in product mix, scale, and nuclear customer base.
• Saarschmiede (Saarstahl): German open-die forge producing large forged components for power generation and nuclear applications. Comparable in terms of European footprint and heavy-forging capabilities for nuclear-grade components.
• Japan Steel Works: Japanese manufacturer of the world's largest steel forgings and castings, including reactor pressure vessel components and nuclear-grade steel products. Closest global competitor in ultra-large nuclear forgings.
