HOME ALUMINIUM 2016 ABOUT MANAGEMENT MARKET RESEARCH PROCESS QUALITY MANUFACTURING CONTACT MYPHOENIX WELCOME ON Extrusion dies company with years of experience and with extraordinary people Visit us GO TO SITE ABOUT US SOME WORDS ABOUT OUR COMPANY Phoenix International was formed in Italy in 1972 in Paderno Franciacorta close to Brescia, thanks to the farsighted vision of a group of young entrepreneurs who wanted to share their expertise and experience in the aluminum extrusion sector. Their mission was to create an independent and innovative company, focused on a core business marked with significant growth potential. Phoenix later moved to the new premises in Verdello (Bergamo), where it maintained its organization up to the late nineties. The years between 2000 and 2008 saw the acquisition of competing firms and workshops within large extrusion groups specialized in die production, as well as the finalization of green-field transactions. In February 2016, the company’s original founders and shareholders and the private equity fund sold their stakes to another prestigious fund, rooted in the continent’s major economies, through a transaction carefully planned over time and aimed at anticipating future international scenario. Read.. DISCOVER OUR MANAGEMENT Over the years, Phoenix has experienced different management styles. At the beginning, the Company was managed by the founders: they were the entrepreneurs that started the Company and improved the business until the end of the last century. From the new millennium, due to complexity of making business in complicated market environments, the founders have given the Group’s keys to high skilled managers. Now, the management is quite young for the business and has a huge potential to last for the next decades. Roberto Rusticelli Chairman and Chief Executive Officer rrusticelli@phoenix-spa.com Alessandro Pontoglio Chief Operations Officer apontoglio@phoenix-spa.com TAKE A LOOK AT OUR MARKET Phoenix is traditionally focused on exports: today, over 50% of its turnover is generated on foreign markets, mainly in Europe. Although sales and production resources were originally concentrated in the building sector, with the passing of time demand gradually moved to the industrial sector, and precisely to the mechanical field in general, embracing pneumatics and electronics, as well as the transport sector: high-speed and underground trains, trucks and buses, airplanes. Today, Phoenix attaches great importance to the automotive sector, which is sharply growing, with intensive research aimed at reducing emissions and weights. TRANSPORTATION Dies used for extrusion of profiles such as body shapes parts, structural parts of high speed train’s cars, etc. BUILDING Dies used for extrusion of profiles with the final destination inside the residential and commercial building. In these last years, the alu-profiles gain a lot of share inside the façades especially in high tech skyscrapers in many worldwide regions. AUTOMOTIVE Dies used for the extrusion of profiles used in this industry to build the structure of the car (bumpers, shock absorbers, anti-intrusion bars, engine supports) in addition to luxury accessories (window frames, internal design). AEROSPACE Dies used for extrusion of profiles in tough alloy (typical 7xxx) such as body shapes parts, structural parts inside wings, etc. INDUSTRIAL In this macro-area we do consider general mechanical application, electronics, pneumatic, heat exchangers. OUR REASEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT RESEARCH PHOENIX HAS ALWAYS BEEN A PIONEERING COMPANY IN THE RESEARCH FIELD. WAY BACK IN THE EIGHTIES, PHOENIX STARTED TO WORK WITH A DESIGN AND MODELLING SYSTEM FOR 3D SOLIDS AND IN RECENT YEARS HAS ALWAYS BEEN ONE STEP AHEAD IN THE MARKET WITH THE INTRODUCTION OF TAILOR-MADE EXTRUSION SIMULATION PACKAGES. ADVANCED RESEARCH IN THE SIMULATION FIELD HAS ALLOWED SPECIAL-PURPOSE TOOLS TO BE DEVELOPED FOR OPTIMIZING DESIGN WORK, BOTH TO REDUCE LEAD TIMES AND TO ASSURE THAT THE CUSTOMER RECEIVES AN INCREASINGLY HIGH-PERFORMANCE PRODUCT. THIS PROCESS LED TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE DEDICATED FLOW BALANCE AND AUTOMATIC BEARING CALCULATOR SOFTWARE. IN THIS AREA, THE INNOVATIVE 3D SCANNER HAS BEEN FINALLY INTRODUCED, BRINGING A HUGE COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE PARTICULARLY IN THE AUTOMOTIVE SECTOR, WHERE THE REQUIREMENT FOR IDENTICAL PIECES MUST BE MET. SHOW MORE OUR MANUFACTURING PROCESS OUR QUALITY STANDARD ISO 9000 certified From the beginning of the Nineties, Phoenix has been an ISO 9000 certified company. It has always been interested in assuring total quality to its customers, with regard to the product, its conformity with the design agreed with the customer, the optimal extrusion of the profile, as well as the required tolerances. However, quality is also the ability to find alternative solutions more suited to the customer’s needs, the guarantee of competitive lead times and compliance with agreed delivery dates. For Phoenix, all of this is true quality. Furthermore, for the next years, Phoenix has already scheduled to enter inside ISO 14000 and OHSAS 18001. FOCUS ON OUR PRODUCTION Our products meet the highest standards on the market. The product size range is complete and covers from 50mm until 1200mm in diameter in order to ensure extrusion press from 5MN until 120MN. Considering the Aluminum and the Alu-profiles are gaining market share in many industrial sectors due to very light weight - that means low energy consumption - and high possibility in forming different shapes, the most important aluminum sectors.
