Established in 1973, Inoxdadi, an Italian producer and distributor of stainless steel bolts, nuts, washers, threaded bar and a selection of fasteners, has already taken steps in its path to becoming a reliable and sustainable manufacturing partner to companies around the world. 

Since its foundation the company has always looked to adapt to opportunities in the market and to meet customers’ requirements, with the topic of sustainability being no exception. 

With its factory located in Gallignano, and warehouse and head office in Barbata, Italy, Inoxdadi uses cold forming and turning to produce a range from M2 to M100, as well as a thread rolling department that produces threaded bars and studs from 10mm to 3,000mm – in accordance with international standards DIN/ISO or according to customers’ drawings. 

“When it comes to sustainability we have already introduced some projects that are helping us as a business and we have more projects planned for the future,” states Inoxdadi. “For instance, we have added photovoltaic systems to both our production site and our warehouse and offices. These two different systems help us create our own energy and reduces our reliance on fossil fuels.”

Other steps Inoxdadi has taken include changing the oils and detergents it uses during its production process from solvent-based to water-based solutions; as well as changing to packaging that has a lower environmental impact. “As a business we are aware of our responsibilities when it comes to sustainability and we have been working on our ‘green credentials,” says Inoxdadi. “We are already noticing some customers asking us about what steps we are taking in terms of sustainability and protecting the environment, so it is good that we already have these projects to point out, as well as future projects we are working on.”

Inoxdadi adds: “Currently we still believe that sustainability is a secondary factor, with a lot of customers still influenced by price. However, the balance between the two could change in the future.”
