Schiavetti perforated sheets

The founder, Daniele Schiavetti, started an artisan work of metal wire processing for the realization of animal cages in the years when the most affluent genoese families bought exotic animals for their private homes. The cages were used to capture and transport by ship.

In 1900 by Daniele Schiavetti was born Felice Schiavetti & Daughter SpA and in 1923 the production of perforated sheet is started. Over the years production was adapted to Italian historical/social change, turning from workshop to industry, and equipping high efficiency machinery for metal processing in various forms.

In 1943 Felice Schiavetti abandoned Genoa Cornigliano, a city of origin of the family, to move inland, at the gates of Val Borbera with the intention to avoid the bombings that repeatedly struck the Ligurian city during World War II.

In 1955, the first total rolled drilling line was purchased and in 1958 the production of ironed sheet metal was started. In 1962, Schiavetti participated in the founding of the Europeanrf.

In 1964 the plant was built. Stazzano (Alessandria), current production and legal headquarters of the company. In 1976, the production of SOVATEC high-strength steel meshes began.

In 1993 Schiavetti divided into 4 companies: SCHIAVETTI LAMIERE FORATE, RGS, SOVATEC and TELEMETALLICHE. In 2003 the production of polyurethane networks began. In 2008 Schiavetti Lamiere perforated acquires the Cogoleto Light Profile, specializing in the production of metal profiles. Since 2009 it also produces perforated pipes. Since 2019 Schiavetti Lamiere perforatate has been working for more than 70 employees between workers and employees, operating in Italy and abroad.

The products produced by Schiavetti have many uses in different industrial sectors:

• Agriculture (agricultural machinery, drying machines, filtration, screening plans)
• Automotive (Esthetic and functional elements such as car masks, trucks, tractors, pots)
• Safety (Aderstop slippers and fences, protection boxes for machine tools)
• Sound insulation (road and railway sound absorbent barriers panels)
• Filtration (for the treatment of air, water, oils and chemicals)
• Appliances (washer filters, washing baskets, microwave oven panels)
• Food industry (industrial oven trays, cold technique, frying baskets, fruit and vegetable presses, coup d'oeuvre)
• Construction (facing, roofing, ceilings, stairs, mezzanine)
• Furniture (urban furniture, benches, garden furniture)
• Shipyards (passers, cable doors, stairs, platforms)

Among the most important achievements Schiavetti:

• Manufacture of perforated aluminium plates for the coating of the Hospital San Gerardo di Monza^[1]
• Production of stainless steel perforated plates for the requalification of the Marine Station of the Port of Genoa^[2]
