Experience and innovation, state-of-the-art technology and
human relations, research and pragmatism – this is the GIVA
group, a dynamic, young world leader in continuous expansion.
The group is unique in the worldwide steel business in terms of
capacity and production plants and comprises companies that
have achieved excellence in the production of carbon, alloy,
super-alloy and stainless steels and the free forging of parts of
any shape weighing up to 250t. It is now a world leader in the
production of rolled rings and shells, in addition to finished
products.
The group is an all-round provider of
various needs that combines produc-
tion efficiency, safety in the workplace,
technological know-how and technical
experience, as well as modern solu-
tions thanks to an expert and highly
skilled workforce and state-of-the-art
production equipment.
The GIVA Group comprises 2 steel
mills, 4 forging companies, 4 machin-
ing companies and 2 companies spe-
cialised in the design and production of
industrial valves and actuators.
The GIVA Group is a strategic partner
of the world’s leading groups operating
in the areas of energy, off-shore drilling,
plant engineering, chemicals, petro-
chemicals, ship-building and, last but
not least, nuclear power.
Production takes place in numerous
plants located in North Italy that cover
a total area of over 2,500,000m2, of
which 600,000m2 indoors, and have a
1200-strong workforce.
The steel mills and forging companies
are:

ITALFOND has UNI EN ISO
9001:2008, UNI EN ISO 14001:2004
and BS OHSAS 18001:2007 certifica-
tion and specialises in the production
of nickel alloys and stainless steels in
round and polygonal ingots weighing
up to 25t and forged bars up to 40" in
diameter.
Other features are a heat-treatment
bay, a machining area with CNC lathes
up to 40" and peelers up to 20".
Tests requested by customers located
in all five continents are carried out in a
modernly equipped laboratory.
The 50,000t/year production capacity
is developed using an electric-arc fur-
nace, a 30t AOD converter, VAR fur-
naces up to 15 tonnes, 8 reheating fur-
naces, a 4500t hydraulic press and an
automatic rotary forging machine.
NUNKI STEEL specialises in the pro-
duction of ingots up to 180t (round,
polygonal and slabs) made of carbon,
low- and high-alloy and stainless steels.
This recently-established ultra-modern
steel mill produces ingots for forging
using a 90t EAF, two LFs and a 90t
The 300,000t yearly output is planned
and managed using dedicated soft-
ware that monitors and records all
activities and processes, making them
entirely reproducible.
Though a relative newcomer, Nunki
Steel has already acquired numerous
important customers all over the world.

FORGIATURA A. VIENNA – “The Forge” – is considered one of
the world’s best equipped and most efficient privately-owned
companies making large forgings (up to 250t) and a global
leader in the production of rolled rings and shells up to 9500mm
in diameter, 5000mm in height and 220t in weight.
The company is equipped with 5 open-die forging presses, one of which – 100,000t
- is the world’s largest and most powerful, 10 automatic manipulators with capaci-
ties up to 350t for handling the forgings, 20 heating furnaces, 4 rolling mills for rings
and shells, and numerous machining bays with dozens of CNC machines, including
vertical and horizontal lathes and milling machines up to 250t in capacity.
The quest for quality, specialisation and excellence has led to the installation of the
world’s largest dual electroslag remelting system, which can produce re-melted
ingots weighing up to 250t. Forgiatura A. Vienna has been ASME-certified for some
time and is currently one of the leading suppliers of major nuclear plants in the world.

tion. It supplies exclusive end products
made using machine tools (lathes,
milling and boring machines) and is
also certified by leading international
classification societies, such as the
American Bureau of Shipping, Bureau
Veritas, DNV, Lloyd’s Register, Korean
Register and Rina.
OFAR specialises in forging long prod-
ucts.
The company has recently invested
heavily in a new 150,000m2 industrial
plant, which has added to the existing
6000t and 3500t forging presses,
served by 11 heating furnaces and 10
automatic manipulators, a 13000t
press, 4 new automatic manipulators
and 7 forging and heat-treatment fur-
naces (including vertical ones) with
capacities up to 300t per item. OFAR
ranks among leading market suppliers
of shafts up to 28 metres in length.
The company has UNI EN ISO
9001:2008, UNI EN ISO 14001:2004

The forging bay is equipped with 14
reheating and heat-treatment furnaces
for parts up to 15 metres in length.
Like the other companies in the group,
FORGES has a machining area
equipped with lathes, milling machines
and work centres that allow it to supply
such markets as shipyards, gearings,
FORGES has thirty years’ experience
and joined the group in 1994. It has
recently extended its production area
to over 40,000m2.
The production bays cover over
20,000m2 and contain a 5000t press, a
3500t press and 6 manipulators that
can handle items up to 45 tonnes.

FDB is a long-standing member of the
GIVA group and has 50 years’ experi-
ence behind it. Production has always
focused on forging carbon, low- and
high-alloy and stainless steels using two
forging presses for producing blocks,
shafts and discs, and two rolling mills
for making rings up to 6500mm in
diameter.
In 2010 FDB inaugurated a new plant
designed for the sole purpose of making
medium and large rolled rings that has
become a new benchmark at a global
level.
FDB today makes steel, aluminium-alloy
and nickel-alloy rolled rings up to
8000mm in diameter and 2800mm in
height, using two of the world’s largest
rolling mills, two presses (one with a
capacity of 20,000t), numerous forging
and heat-treatment furnaces and manip-
ulators with capacities up to 100 tonnes.
FDB has its own cutting bay with auto-
matic disc cutting machines and an area
dedicated entirely to machining. The
company has UNI EN ISO 9001:2008,
UNI EN ISO 14001:2004 and BS
OHSAS 18001:2007 certification.

the production cycles.
We consider it of fundamental impor-
tance to have cutting-edge plant and
machinery so that we can become a
cost leader in the business.
The group invests heavily every year in
plant and technology and we are proud
of the results achieved, which enable
us to offer our customers increasingly
innovative and high quality products.
Lastly, what distinguishes our compa-
nies, in addition to their exceptional
All the members of the GIVA Group are

been fully qualified and certified by
leading accreditation bodies, which
means they can supply all types of
market, any products and grades,
each in their own area of interest.
The GIVA Group mainly operates in
such sectors as traditional and alterna-
tive energy, oil and gas, plant engineer-
ing, nuclear power, mechanics and
chemicals.
The group is entirely dedicated to sup-
plying products and services of the
plant structure, is the skill and profes-
sionalism of our entire workforce.
We are firmly convinced that the only
way to achieve success is a closely-
knit team of highly qualified technicians
and collaborators who are competent
and well prepared thanks to consider-
able investment in training.
Production process management adopted by all the companies in the GIVA Group
takes place with rigorous respect of the environment, by optimising natural
resources and raw materials and implementing a policy for correct disposal of the
waste produced.
The GIVA Group has always considered environmental protection and worker health
the fundamental principles on which business should be based.
Environmental protection is an integral part of the corporate policy and strategies
implemented by the member companies, each of which has human resources with
specific technical skills for managing environmental policies and routinely sets aside
funds for this purpose.
The desire to guarantee respect for integrity, transparency, efficiency and correct-
ness in doing business within and outside the company has led the GIVA Group to
adopt a code of conduct that establishes ethical and social responsibilities for each
member of the organisation by identifying procedures governing their work methods.
Compliance with these procedures is monitored by a Supervisory Body in view of
preventing violations of the code.
