Faces SpA (standing for Fonderia Acciai Comuni E Speciali = Common and Special Steel Foundry) was founded in 1977 by a group of businessmen. Since the early ’90s, Faces has been specializing in the production of stainless steel and nickel-base alloys, aiming at continuous improvement and customer satisfaction. For this, wide-range investments have been allocated for enlargements and facilities optimization, state-of-the-art plants and ongoing training of personnel. Today, we are casting more than 1.500 tons per year of net weight, ranging from 20 to 8.500kg per piece. Since 2007 Faces SpA has combined the 30 years experience with the MAGMA® casting simulation software, in order to optimize, speed up and improve the engineering of casting systems. The foundry works with a 5.000-7500kg AOD converter which has enabled to reach very high-quality levels, mainly with the materials Duplex, Superduplex and Nickel-base alloys. For quality heat treatments, it works with two new ovens equipped with automatic forklift device complying with the severe Norsok standards.
