COVER STORY
Beside you in the fastening world
In May 1997 two managers, already with several years experience of fastener production and distribution, founded a company in Garlasco, 25 kilometres south-west of Milan. Today Ambrovit makes a powerful claim to provide a benchmark in fastener supply, to both the Italian and wider European markets.
T
he company grew up quickly. In 1997 it started with a 900 square metre warehouse; by 2001 that had grown to 3,200 square metres, enlarged again in 2006 by the rental of a further 2,000 square metres of external warehouse space.
In mid-2009 Ambrovit relocated entirely to its new and current corporate headquarters. For Ambrovit high quality, customer care and advanced technologies are essential features in meeting the requirements of all its markets so this sustained progression in size combined with investments in advanced logistics, product packaging and a state-of-the- art IT system have all aroused considerable interest from its customers. Today,
Ambrovit’s facility in Garlasco extends over a total area of 12,000 square metres, of which 6,000 is buildings.
The company recently installed a new automatic warehouse: 28 metres high with a storage capacity of 22,000 pallet places it currently handles some 1,400 order lines during each shift and despatches around 165 shipments everyday. An advanced automatic packing line, supplied by Bilwinco, has daily capacity of 22,000 boxes. Setting up a new quality laboratory, equipped with latest
generation quality control instruments co-ordinated through sophisticated statistical software, has just been concluded.
