Originally founded in 1989 for the production of plates and angles for hardware, SIPA Srl is constantly looking to expand into new markets and introduce new products, such as its new range of washers, as well as its new CE certified gazebo products.
SIPA first introduced its washer production in 2006 and since then the company has been developing its capabilities. The new range includes washers to DIN 125, DIN 9021, NFE 25513, DIN 134, and DIN 440. The company also recently obtained CE Marking for its range of gazebo plates, which will enable it to enter new markets – including those in northern Europe that specifically use CE certified gazebo products.
“We are constantly adding new product ranges in order to offer our current customers a complete product portfolio and help them enter new markets,” commented SIPA. Through an expansion of its headquarters – which included an 7,000m2 extension to its existing 9,000m2 building – SIPA was also able to increase its steel cutting, plastic pressing and mechanical workshop departments.
Alongside the production, SIPA has a large warehouse of finished products at its customers’ disposal, which enables short lead times. The company also has a fully stocked raw material warehouse for production, which proved invaluable during the last few months of the pandemic.
Working and operating within the hardware sector, SIPA has worked throughout lockdown by complying with all regulations and provisions for health and safety in the workplace. “The pandemic showed us that we didn’t need to change much in the way of working, but instead confirmed our practices as the right approach,” explained SIPA. “The product quality and reliability of production and delivery have always been the strength of ‘Made in Italy’ companies.
This has come to light more during this pandemic, where transportation and shipping to and from abroad was complicated and difficult. This meant our business in the domestic market increased, where we ensure we’re first in line due to our skills and knowledge within the industry.”
“We are sure that our experience will allow us to continue to grow and develop foreign markets as we have done in the past decades, and we will rise to the challenges that will present themselves in the future – with the same quality and reliability that has always distinguished us.”
