ISO 50001 – FORGE FEDRIGA OBTAINS ENERGY CERTIFICATION

In December 2018, we concluded the process that led to the ISO50001:2011 energy certification. Following inspections by the accredited Body, the Company’s Energy Management System was awarded this important certification. This is a very important objective: all energy-related aspects are now managed correctly via constant monitoring of consumption (electricity, methane, transport diesel), to eliminate waste and improve the efficiency of machinery. The energy aspects of plant and/or process modifications are analysed in advance, prioritising choices that reduce consumption and favour the use of energy from renewable sources. Energy-related aspects are handled in a manner typical of management systems aimed at continuous improvement and compliance with laws applicable on the matter.

COMPLETION OF EXPANSION WORKS AT THE CIVIDATE CAMUNO SITE

Works for the expansion of the Cividate Camuno site were completed in early 2019. A part of the building was prepared for the future extension of the heat treatments department. We have built a new office building that houses production offices, the canteen, cloakrooms and a new, fully equipped meeting room. The VRF-VRV (Variant Refrigerant Flow) system takes care of air-conditioning, ensuring high energy efficiency and a high degree of operational flexibility. External units are covered while internal units are wall-mounted. The air-conditioning system is made of modular units that function as a heat pump. Particular attention was paid to building insulation.

CONSTRUCTION OF CAR WASHING FACILITIES

In accordance with the contents of the IPPC (Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control) issued by the Bodies competent for the disposal of industrial wastewater, we completed work on the internal effluent disposal network. We have built a car washing area, equipped with a sewage treatment plant with oil separator and an activated charcoal filtering tank. These works were to comply with parameters laid down by the Laws on industrial waste. Forge Fedriga concentrates efforts and Policies on minimising the environmental impact of its activities.

“MENS SANA IN CORPORE SANO” – A COMPANY GYM FOR FORGE FEDRIGA

Convinced that good teamwork is also built on the physical and mental well-being of team members, Forge Fedriga has constructed a company gym in the recently expanded workplace. It is a modern, fully equipped gym available to all employees, who may also use it outside of working hours. Gym management is entrusted to an external professional who, during working hours, is available to all users to monitor and suggest specific training plans.
