Evolutionary processes of the company
ZMF was founded by Mario Zucchetti in Antegnate in 1975 and it immediately began to specialize in hot brass forging. The plant consists of 25,000 covered square metres on an area of 50,000 square metres. ZMF is part of a historical Italian industrial group that refers to the Zucchetti family.
Today it comprises 4 companies all located in Northern Italy. In 1996, ZMF obtained UNI EN ISO 9001 certification, ensuring overall production process quality. In 2001, the traditional brass processing is developed with the aluminium one. In 2006, an innovative finite elements simulation system was introduced, allowing the company to evolve from a hot forge for taps and fittings, to a firm specialized in forging non-ferrous, multi-alloy metals, with exceptional added value services.
In 2008, thanks to the investment in skilled technicians and advanced machinery, ZMF specialise in the processing of other non-ferrous alloys such as titanium, nibral and bronze.
