Research and development
Quality and new technologies
Vergnano invests about 10-15% of its annual turnover in new technologies. The pursuit of innovative solutions, coupled with strict and continuous monitoring of processes and products ensures consistently high levels of quality. And it is precisely these high standards of performance that have earned the company ISO 9001 certification.
At Vergnano, investment in research translates into the continual optimisation of production processes and the use of increasingly high-performance materials. This is demonstrated by the development – in partnership with Oerlikon Balzers – of new tap coatings and the use of innovative materials, made possible by the company’s in-house heat treatment.

Global supply chain management

Production
Cutting-edge technology and specialised personnel
Production, as we know, depends on the machinery fleet, and Vergnano is always on the cutting edge of technology, regularly upgrading its equipment. Vergnano uses only latest-generation machine tools, such as HiPiMs coating furnaces, high-precision grinding machines and lathes for “all-in-one” machining, which dramatically cut down delivery times.
Production is also about people, who, at Vergnano, are all specialised and highly qualified. The corporate team’s hob re-sharpening and re-coating service, which involves machining the tool until it is as good as new, is just one example.
