The Birth
A story that has its roots in the 1970s
Ottavio Nanni starts the carpentry business in the garage of his home in Savignano sul Rubicone and becomes one of the first suppliers for the Rimini-based company SCM.
1989 marks a turning point: Ottavio Nanni becomes independent, and Nanni Ottavio srl is born.
The First Laser
Acquisition of the first machine
In 1995, the company takes a significant step forward: it becomes the first mechanical company in the Rimini and Cesena area to acquire a laser for sheet metal cutting.
During the 1990s, Ottavio’s children, Natascia and Nicola Nanni, join the company staff.
Automation
24/7 Operations
Third-party work grows, and in 2000, another turning point occurs: the company opens a new production site in Via Novella, Savignano, where it is still located. They acquire a second laser and automation that enables continuous cycle operations: 24 hours a day.
The First Tube Laser
High-quality standards and national-level clients
<p class=”p1″><span class=”s1″>Tube laser cutting becomes the core of the activity, and in 2002, Nanni specializes in processing tubes made of iron, stainless steel, aluminum, copper, and brass. Thanks to the quality of service offered and continuous cycle automation, operating 24 hours a day, Nanni workshops become a national reference point in the sector.</span></p>
Traceability of the Production Process
New Management Systems
In 2003, Nicola and Natascia Nanni officially join the company. Recognizing the need for precise knowledge of production progress, the company implements the GP90 PLUS management system from OSL in Savignano sul Panaro (Mo). The system offers numerous advantages, including constant monitoring and data storage, allowing immediate responses and order renewals for all Nanni workshops’ clients.
3D Design
Maximum performance for complete customer satisfaction
Nanni continuously invests in its growth, introducing 3D CAD software for mechanical design and clear production documentation. To achieve highly effective results, the technicians rework the client’s model using the software before starting production. This process ensures maximum precision in operations and the quality of final products, whether for single batches or mass production.
The Fiber Laser Arrives
Faster tube and profile laser cutting
Innovation continues. In September 2016, Nanni installs the LT Fiber system from BML GROUP. With extreme precision, tubes and profiles made of iron, stainless steel, steel, copper, and brass are cut using new fiber laser technology. Cutting quality improves alongside productivity, reducing electricity consumption.
Fiber Laser for Sheet Metal
New Facility for the Sheet Metal Division
In 2017, alongside inaugurating a new production space in Budrio di Longiano (FC), Nanni workshops acquire the innovative Mazak system with a 6,000-Watt fiber source for high-speed sheet metal cutting. The system includes automatic loading/unloading and sheet metal storage, offering clients a 100% increase in productivity.
Two Facilities
Managing more than 24,000 order lines per year
With 5,000 sqm across the Via Novella production site in Savignano sul Rubicone (FC) and the Budrio di Longiano (FC) facility on Via Emilia, the company employs 35 people, offering solutions for various applications: from manufacturing components for woodworking machines to gym equipment, kitchen and shop furniture, painting systems for wood, automatic loaders for lathes, and automotive components.
Nanni workshops manage more than 24,000 order lines per year, providing solutions for diverse end-use applications.
New Laser for Large Tubes and Profiles
The Missing Tube Laser Cutting
The company acquires the large LT14FIBER system from BML GROUP for 3D tube cutting up to 12.5 meters in length and up to 100 kg/m in weight. This laser system expands the service, allowing the processing of larger sections and lengths.
EN 1090 Certifications
Broader Services
Our facilities: the Tube Division in Savignano sul Rubicone and the Sheet Metal Division in Budrio di Longiano, achieved EN 1090 certification in October 2019. This document, issued by RINA S.p.A., certifies that Nanni provides consistent quality processing for laser cutting of tubes and sheet metal that meets all regulatory requirements. The EN 1090 certifications for our two facilities are internationally recognized.
Nanni Integrates Comel
New Resources Within Expanded Facilities
On August 1, 2020, Comel, a historic collaborator of the Nanni Ottavio group, was acquired. This included absorbing their employees and adding three new resources to the workforce, ensuring service continuity for all Comel clients.
Expansion of the Sheet Metal Division
Nanni Multiplies Its Production Capacity
The “Sheet Metal Division” expansion has been completed, totaling 14,000 sqm, with 4,000 sqm of covered space and 10,000 sqm of protected outdoor area for receiving raw materials and finished products.
The facility in Budrio di Longiano (FC) features state-of-the-art Mazak systems equipped with automatic loading and unloading for sheet metal cutting up to 3000×1500 dimensions and pieces of 2990×1470. Additionally, it includes dedicated departments for bending, welding, assembly, and storage.
This expansion has doubled the space dedicated to each type of processing following laser sheet metal cutting, significantly increasing the company’s production capacity and reducing order delivery times.
Installation of the 10KW Sheet Metal Laser with Automated Storage
A 10KW Sheet Metal Laser with a 1500x4000 workspace, automated storage, and sorting system.
Nanni continues to invest in technological innovation. In the 2,000 sqm recently expanded area at the Budrio di Longiano (FC) facility, a new 10KW sheet metal laser cutting system with an automated storage system featuring 200 drawers, developed by Salvagnini SpA, was installed.
The automated loading/unloading and storage system ensures rapid and safe production changes. Additionally, the sorting system eliminates much of the manual piece-separation work, returning ready-to-use pieces to storage or carts for subsequent processing.
With 2,000,000 kg of sheet metal processed annually, supported by the new automated storage system, Nanni Ottavio redefines “production efficiency.”
Expansion of the Tube Division
The operational area at the Savignano facility dedicated to laser tube processing has reached 4,000 sqm. Committed to adopting innovative and sustainable technologies, the laser tube processing division is powered by electricity from its own photovoltaic system, similar to the Sheet Metal Division in Longiano.
Installation of the LT12 by BLM Group in Savignano
We are the first in the world to adopt a laser cutting system capable of processing both small-diameter tubes and long, heavy tubes, loading bars up to 12.5 meters long and up to 62 kg/m in weight. The LT12 by BLM Group is a next-generation Lasertube that minimizes waste in each process, thanks to a spindle integrated into the support.
Installation of the LT-FREE for 3D Laser Cutting
Nanni Ottavio introduces the LT-FREE, a 3D laser cutting machine with 5 axes that revolutionizes the processing of curved tubes, sheet metal, and welded frames. With customizable configurations and the ArtCut software, this technology optimizes production processes, reducing time and waste. A decisive step towards innovation and leadership in the sector.Precision, Flexibility, and Sustainability for Advanced Production.
