Galperti Special Alloys awards Danieli contract for 8-ton VIM and 10-ton ESR furnaces

Galperti Special Alloys S.p.A., a newly established company within the Galperti Group, has awarded Danieli the contract for the engineering and supply of two key melting and refining units: an 8-ton Vacuum Induction Melting (VIM) furnace and a 10-ton Electro-Slag Remelting (ESR) furnace, to be installed in Italy.

The 8-ton VIM furnace will provide controlled melting under vacuum, enabling precise management of chemical composition and steel cleanliness, supporting a wide portfolio of specialty and heat-resistant grades. Complementing this, the 10-ton ESR furnace will enhance the production route by improving inclusion control, segregation behavior, and overall material homogeneity, ensuring the highest quality standards for demanding applications.

The project includes engineering, manufacturing, preassembly, and testing of the equipment at Danieli workshops, as well as installation support and commissioning activities. Startup is scheduled for the second half of 2026.

Founded in Italy and built on decades of experience in forging and manufacturing high-quality components for critical applications, the Galperti Group has established a strong international reputation for reliability, technical expertise, and continuous innovation. The creation of Galperti Special Alloys S.p.A. represents a natural evolution of this heritage, expanding the Group’s capabilities upstream into advanced melting and remelting technologies.

This order reinforces Danieli’s strategy in the premium-quality steel segment and establishes a solid framework for long-term industrial cooperation, targeting optimized CapEx, OpEx, and product quality.
