Vipa looks to further international expansion 28 July 2017

Based in Rolo, Italy, Vipa SpA already distributes about 30% of its extensive range of fasteners internationally but it plans to further expand its international activities.

Today the company employs more than 100 people in its Rolo head office and branches in Spain, France, Germany, the Czech Republic and China. Vipa offers an extensive range of products embracing more than 85,000 different articles. The portfolio covers high-tensile strength fasteners, medium low strength, screws for wood and sheet metal, bolts and screws in stainless and other exotic materials such as brass. It also supplies clamping products, fixing elements and, the latest introduction, a separate division specialised on rubber sealing and O-rings.

Vipa has a state of the art automated storage facility that measures 135 metres in length and over 35 metres in height, equipped with 12 fully automated storage retrieval robotic systems. The latest investment was to equip this facility with a robotic arm to enable the arrival of the goods in a quicker and more precise manner.
Vipa tells us: “We are continuously searching for new sales representatives in countries were there isn’t an established commercial organisation. Please make contact if interested.”
