ASO Siderurgica, the ASO Group's parent company, was established in 1971 and specialises in the production of large special steel ingots and forged bars, mainly for application in the oil & gas, petrochemicals, power generation, aerospace, mechanical and naval industries.
The company's background combines Brescia's traditional vocation for steel-making with state-of-the-art plant engineering and metallurgical technologies.
ASO Siderurgica's Hot Division covers two separate production sites:
one is a steel mill equipped with a 50-tonne electric arc furnace, a 30-tonne induction furnace, three ladle furnaces, three vacuum degassing systems, controlled ingot-cooling hoods, 14 heat treatment furnaces, an AOD converter, and various VAR and ESR systems;
the other has handled integrated production since 2010 and forges steel bars from the steel mill; equipment includes forging presses, pre-heating furnaces, heat treatment furnaces and tanks, and a mechanical workshop.
