• The resolution of unique environmental license (AUA) n. 4/2016 released by the Municipality of Narni will enable the activities of production of metal powders for the additive manufacturing and special and advanced applications
  • At Nera Montoro (TR) eco-industrial park it will be installed two melting and gas atomization industrial plants of metal alloys
  • The new Numanova share capital amount to Euro 3 million. Italeaf has a corporate share of 85%.

Numanova, a company active in the production of high quality metal powders from ferrous and not ferrous metal alloys for the additive manufacturing industry and the more advanced applications in areas such as aerospace, energy, mechanical, biomedical, part of the Italeaf group, announces that, with the executive resolution by the Municipality of Narni (TR) n. 4/2016, was issued the “unique environmental license (AUA)” related to the emissions from the production plant of metal powders for the additive manufacturing and special and advanced applications, which will be installed at the industrial area of Nera Montoro (TR).

In particular, obtaining environmental authorization together with those of the Fire Prevention (CPI) by the Command of Terni Fire Department, Numanova is entitled to launch its investment program for the acquisition and installation of production facilities for metal powders with high quality obtained from ferrous metal and non ferrous alloys to be used in Additive Manufacturing (3D printing), Metal Injection Molding (MIM), Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP), PTA, laser cladding for the most advanced industrial sectors such as aerospace, energy, automotive, mechanical, biomedical, luxury industry. The company will be equipped with the most advanced production technology of metal powders by atomization gas, vacuum induction casting ceramic-free. These technologies have a reduced environmental impact and high intrinsic safety levels.

For the development of the production plant it has been selected the eco-industrial area of Nera Montoro (TR), an ideal facility for industrial applications, with a broad portfolio of permits and authorizations, technical gas piping systems from a landline and already operational infrastructure as industrial and office building, energy, water, technical gases, logistics, warehouse.

In the Numanova factory will be installed 2 different type of plants:

  • EIGA (Electrode Induction-melting Inert Gas Atomization), advanced process for the production of metal powders from titanium and aluminum alloys, refractory materials, ceramics and precious metal alloys for special applications (eg. HIP, MIM) and Additive Manufacturing;
  • VIGA (Vacuum Induction-melting Inert Gas Atomization), advanced process for the production of ferrous metal powders and alloys of nickel, cobalt and zirconium for special applications (eg. HIP, MIM) and Additive Manufacturing.

Italeaf announces, finally, that the capital increase, divisible to be offered to the shareholders of Euro 0.65 million, through the issue of new n. 650,000 no par value shares, was fully subscribed to plan the growth of the productive activities of Numanova. Upon completion of the capital increase, Numanova has a share capital of Euro 3,000,000 fully subscribed. Numanova currently has 23 shareholders; the company’s shareholder structure is as follows: Italeaf S.p.A. 85%, other shareholders 15%.
