Marcegaglia Oskar, a company with more than 60 years of experience, has established itself as a leader in the market for steel handles for household and do-it-yourself cleaning items. Its strength lies in its ability to offer innovative solutions, in the field of metal handles, but also in compartments not strictly related to the company's core business.
"Our company seeks to meet the needs of its customers for items that are new or require innovative technologies in the area of thin gauge tube production” says Francesco Castagnoli, general manager.
As Castagnoli points out, “being part of the Marcegaglia Group has meant a constant source of innovation on materials and technologies for Oskar.”
Thanks to close cooperation with the Ravenna and Forlì plants, the company has made important strides in the production of very thin, small-diameter tubes, going so far as to produce 12 mm and even 8 mm tubes. These products represent an added value not only the traditional market for cleaning handles but also for industrial sectors looking for strong materials, but with an increasingly efficient use of raw materials.
Castagnoli points out, “The experience Marcegaglia Oskar has gained has allowed it to gain experience and knowledge about products, materials, and markets.” This versatility now allows the company to offer its clients a complete package of services ranging from consulting, design, through prototyping, industrialization and industrial production.
Despite the major transition to increasingly automated systems, Marcegaglia Oskar continues to put people at the center of its business strategy. "Like all manufacturing companies, Marcegaglia Oskar is investing in the knowledge and implementation of automated systems. But people still remain the most important resources,” Castagnoli explains. Constant staff training is essential to ensure that the use of new technologies is increasingly effective and safe.
Marcegaglia Oskar has therefore decided to enrich its team with young professionals with varied experience, who bring new skills and a proactive mindset. "People in Oskar are central to safety and to the training the company constantly wants to provide them." Castagnoli adds.
Looking to the future, Marcegaglia Oskar aims to maintain its leadership position in the market by continuing to invest in advanced technologies and people skills. The constant enrichment of the team with new talent and the adoption of increasingly innovative solutions enable the company to meet the challenges of the global market, consolidating its reputation as a benchmark in the industry.
