Gasparini

Italian manufacturer of roll forming systems since 1952 – complete lines with straightening, punching, welding, cutting, stacking and robots, built to the customer's profile in Mirano near Venice. A team of 120–150 people (company figures); lines for pallet racking (uprights, beams, bracing, shelves), mezzanines, construction, energy and the automotive industry.

About the company

Gasparini S.p.A. designs and builds roll forming systems, semi-automatic and automatic machines and integrated lines for sheet-metal processing. The company was founded in 1952 by the brothers Luigi and Ferdinando Gasparini in Mirano near Venice, where it still has its head office and production. Roll forming lines are the core business; around them Gasparini integrates the other steps of the process – straightening, punching, welding, clinching, cutting, stacking, packing and robot handling – so that a line delivers a finished component and not only a profile.

The company gives its team as 120–150 people; more than 40% of them work in design, engineering, electronics and software, the rest in manufacturing and assembly, logistics and general services, and sales, marketing and customer service. Lines are built for logistics (pallet and supermarket racking, lockers, cold stores, silos), construction (roofing and cladding, structural C, U, Z and Sigma profiles, scaffolding, gutters, roller shutters, doors and windows, guardrails), energy (photovoltaic structures, lighting, cable trays) and the automotive industry.

The company history lists a series of firsts: flexible roll forming with the TWIN system (1968), integrated PLC control (1983), in-line TIG welding (1986), automatic stacking (1987), the REVOLVER flexible system (1995), in-line laser welding (1996), teleservice (2000), robots for welding and handling (2002), variable-section profiles (2008), roll forming of DOCOL 1400 high-strength steel (2013), lines with 48 servo motors (2014), Industry 4.0 data exchange (2017), a plant with 120 interpolated CNC axes (2018) and 11 interconnected lines in one production process (2019).

For storage and logistics Gasparini builds lines for pallet-rack uprights, beams, bracing and shelves, mezzanine structures (Sigma and C) and floor panels, light and medium shelving and Z profiles for pallet-shuttle systems. The size change ranges from conventional tooling and interchangeable cassettes to the TWIN (under 5 minutes) and REVOLVER systems. Gasparini is certified to UNI EN ISO 9001:2015 and carries the UCIMU mark of the Italian machine-tool builders' association.
