Background
Demonstrating steel flexibility since 1973
For over 50 years we've been meeting the requirements of the construction and infrastructure sector for pre-shaping, assembling and installing reinforcing steel.
Ferroberica was established in 1973 and its registered office and main production site are still based at the original location in the industrial area of Vicenza.
From the start Ferroberica positioned itself as a leading company in the shaping of reinforcing steel for major Italian construction companies.
Over the years the company has gradually extended its sphere of operation throughout the country, and in 1991 it became part of the Alfa Acciai Group, an industry leader in the production of construction steel, wire rod for drawing and welded wire mesh. Ferroberica joined the Alfa Acciai Group as part of a project to create an integrated upstream and downstream Italian steel supply chain. This currently includes Alfa Acciai, Acciaierie di Sicilia, Tecnofil - where the parent company recently implemented the downstream integration of wire rod for drawing - and Ferroberica - European leader in the pre-shaping and assembling of reinforcing steel.
In line with the downstream integration strategy that has always guided the Alfa Acciai Group, and with the aim of providing increasingly widespread services across the country, Ferroberica has continued to expand its operations over the years:
- In 2006, it established a production facility in Catania, using steel bars and coils produced by its sister company Acciaierie di Sicilia;
- In 2016, it opened a production facility in Sedegliano (UD);
- In 2018, it launched a technologically advanced production facility for the cutting, bending and assembly of reinforcing steel in Montirone (BS);
- In 2024, it strengthened its production capacity in Sicily with a second production facility and acquired the plant in Sedegliano (UD).
Following its entry into the Alfa Acciai Group, Ferroberica had already embarked on a process of internal rationalisation and reorganisation, laying the foundations for the company's subsequent growth. In recent years, the expansion of production capacity has been accompanied by a significant increase in its direct workforce and the strengthening of partnerships with a network of trusted external companies strategically located throughout Italy.
Thanks to this network and its flexible organisational structure, Ferroberica is now able to meet a wide range of customer requirements in terms of production volumes, types of construction projects, execution schedules and geographical locations. The company also positions itself as a competent and reliable partner during the preliminary study and design phases, as well as in the initial planning of construction sites.
