Research & development have made us global leaders in the industry

Ferriera di Cittadella has left an indelible mark on the history of granite cutting with its revolutionary FC Plus blade patent, further consolidating its leadership position in the industry. This achievement was not a final destination, but the beginning of a continuous innovation process.

Always focused on researching new technologies and advanced solutions for stone cutting, Ferriera decided to expand its offering by entering the diamond wire market starting in 2014.

What sets Ferriera apart is its ability to invest in a complete in-house production process, allowing a total control over every stage of product development. The goal is clear: to develop cutting-edge technological solutions that guarantee excellent quality and superior performance.

Ferriera di Cittadella has continuously increased investments in research and development and this commitment has led to the success of the innovative diamond wire, which today represents one of the crown jewels of our production.

Starting from 2023, based on feedback gathered directly from sawmills, a diamond wire with 42 beads per linear meter was developed, designed to optimize performance and reduce wear on Multi-wire machines, thereby improving the overall cutting process efficiency.

The company places particular emphasis on energy savings, environmental protection, and safeguarding workers’ health, actively committing to responsible and eco-friendly choices.

Ferriera produces a sustainable wire as it is completely cobalt-free.

This innovative wire has been designed with the goal of successfully handling the sequential cutting of hard and abrasive materials such as crystals and quartzites, while maintaining consistent and uniform cutting quality. It also reduces costs in both the cutting and polishing phases, optimizing consumption and enhancing overall productivity.

The beads thickness ranges from 4.3 to 8.3 mm in diameter.

In 2024, a new patent was filed for a completely innovative wire with a diameter of 4 mm, which can be further reduced. The new technology was initially tested in our multi-wire laboratory using specially purchased blocks to simulate cutting dynamics similar to those of our customers.

Ferriera, long synonymous with excellence and quality in the hot-rolled flat bars sector, has started the production of CORTEN steel.

CORTEN steel is renowned for its atmospheric resistance and the distinctive patina that forms on its surface, giving it an elegant touch and superior durability against weathering.
