FOCUS ON THE PRODUCTION OF PROTOTYPES AND SMALL BATCHES
The Reggio-based company OFFICINE MECCANICHE MARCUCCI SRL has been producing prototypes, sampling molds and equipment for the Italian and European market for over 35 years.
Today it is aimed primarily at niche sectors, with an on-demand offer of medium and small series, built to customer specifications.
Specialize internal know-how as much as possible to diversify and expand its market. We could thus summarize the business strategy undertaken in recent years by Officine Meccaniche Marcucci, a manufacturer and contractor in the food, medical, automotive, molds, and high-precision mechanics sectors, boasting over 35 years of expertise in this area. years.
Since 1980 the company has specialized in the production of customized parts for the food industry sector, the medical sector, the naval sector, the automotive sector and for the high precision mechanics sector.
Thanks to constant investments in new technologies and in the development of integrated and complete work processes, it operates in the Bibbiano headquarters and in the Cavriago (RE) headquarters, offering customers all the necessary processes for the design and custom production of customized parts. , spare parts, molds, spare parts, mechanical components for small series up to mass production, intended for all sectors and niche markets: from medical to spare parts to mechanical applications, up to that of household appliances and furniture.
An entrepreneurial flexibility that has allowed us to be one of the main reference names for small and medium series processing, prototypes and spare parts, being able to satisfy even the most particular production needs quickly and punctually.
In the last decade, how the market has changed for your company and how it has affected your work?
Officine Meccaniche Marcucci is a company recognized for the quality of production processes and, specifically, for quality management in the various food, automotive, medical and precision mechanics sectors.
This commercial peculiarity, however, has allowed us to invest in the search for a much wider and more flexible clientele, also addressing smaller companies, but which allow us a solid and continuous collaboration, with the supply of often very small lots and destined to niche sectors. A good example is the medical sector, and the food sector in which we serve companies that need orders made up of hundreds of different codes, but for a few pieces, and which involve the processing of more noble materials, such as stainless steel, with a higher added value.
What are the specific characteristics of your production?
Officine Meccaniche Marcucci deal with various production sectors. Mainly of everything related to the design and construction, to then move on to the actual production. We then carry out all the work necessary for the study and design internally, and then move on to the creation of prototypes or small medium series according to customer specifications.
Our prototype production batches range from very small batch supplies, from 1 up to 50 pieces, to medium and large batches of 5000 or 10000 pieces, built through what is called soft tooling, or through low cost prototype equipment. and suitable for producing only a limited number of pieces and therefore designed and built ad hoc only for precise machining. Where required, we perform surface treatments such as nickel plating, burnishing, zinc plating or specific heat treatments through a well-defined calendar.
Specifically, how is your production organized?
Officine Meccaniche Marcucci internally manage the entire processing cycle, starting from the technical office to arrive at the metrology room for dimensional checks and part certification.
We often also offer consultancy aimed at optimizing the piece to be made and its production process. This is possible because in the workshop we have all the skills and systems necessary to carry out all the required processes: traditional lathes, numerical control lathes with three axes with bar passages up to ø150 vertical machining centers with three, four and five axes, grinding for external and internal grinding, slotting and lapping machines and laser marking machines.
As I have already explained, this allows us not to have to rely on external companies for specific processes, giving our customers a more efficient, faster and less expensive service. Our average delivery times from receipt of the drawing, or sample, can vary from 24 hours, 48 hours for the most urgent spare parts and all those details where a specific surface treatment is not required, to 2 weeks for all those details where a produced with specific surface treatments; while for articles in series we speak of a maximum of 30 to 60 days of work.
Officine Meccaniche Marcucci are able to perform machining on different materials, such as stainless steel, special steels such as C45,18NiCrMo5, 39NiCrMo3, aluminum, ergal, bronze, brass, iron, up to plastics such as derlin, ertalon teflon etc.
For this we are valid partners for various production sectors. Especially as regards the creation of samples, small and medium series parts, spare parts and prototype molds.
This type of production, in fact, requires special skills, such as great experience in the design and modeling of temporary and provisional equipment, as well as the ability to guarantee a high level of experience in the construction of more valuable parts. for money.
Sometimes trying to find unusual solutions and procedures, simply the result of our corporate know-how.
A prototype such as a sample is in fact a piece that respects the original design but which is built in an artisanal way.
Therefore, it does not require expensive equipment because it is made in a few copies, even if it can subsequently lead to mass production. For this reason, also in terms of technological equipment, in recent years we have mainly invested in the purchase of machine tools that are increasingly suitable for these types of processes.
Our goal is to be able to guarantee the production of mechanical parts, to respond to a specific market request coming from companies in niche sectors that constitute the market segment of greatest development and future investment for Officine Meccaniche Marcucci.
