Rossi & Kramer – PEG: valve seat machines

Today The Ultimate Tooling visits the Rossi & Kramer – PEG company in Italy, in the province of Treviso, where valve seat machines of the highest quality standards are produced.

The owner of Rossi & Kramer – PEG, Mr. Antonio Daminato, opens to us the doors of his company with extreme courtesy and availability, and begins by giving us some historical information and explaining the products and production processes.

Rossi & Kramer – PEG: the company

History

Rossi & Kramer – PEG was founded back in 1967 by the two founders Egidio Perin and Sante Busatta.
It was in 1972 that Mr. Antonio Daminato joined the company and then became the owner in the following years.

Rossi & Kramer – PEG stands on a surface of 1800 sqm and can count on a staff of 18 employees who cover all the key areas of the corporate structure.
It ranges from the commercial and administrative side to the design, development and production of valve seat machines and valve grinders that are made inside the plants.

The production

The production area is the pride of Rossi & Kramer – PEG, which is equipped with top quality machinery, such as cnc lathe machines of the Japanese brands Mazak and Okuma, cnc machining centres branded Okuma and tangential and external cylindrical automated grinding machines.

Mr. Daminato explains that to reinforce the already excellent production sector, 2 new work units will be soon available, such as a CNC lathe and an automated work center, always branded Okuma.

The company currently has a fairly standardized production and produces about 500 machines a year.
However, Mr. Antonio Daminato reminds us that at the turn of the 80s/90s, Rossi & Kramer – PEG had reached peaks of over 1200 pieces per year, including valve refacing machines and valve seat machines.
