• The Capital Increase will serve to support the Company’s industrial growth
• Marco Paura, new CEO. Renewed the corporate Board of Directors

Numanova, an Italeaf Group’s company specialised in the production of metal powders used as raw materials in additive manufacturing (or 3D printing), announces that it has announces that it has produced, for the National Laboratories of Gran Sasso (LNGS) of INFN, a supply of 10 kg of pure copper powder, one of the most difficult metals to process because of its chemical-physical properties characterized by a high thermal and electrical conductivity. The total quantity of material produced by Numanova is equal to 60 Kg.

The National Institute of Nuclear Physics (INFN) is the Italian public research body dedicated to the study of the fundamental constituents of the subject and the laws that govern them. INFN Gran Sasso National Laboratory (LNGS) is the largest underground laboratory in the world devoted to neutrino and astroparticle physics, a worldwide research facility for scientists working in this field of research, where particle physics, cosmology and astrophysics meet. It is unequalled anywhere else, as it offers the most advanced underground infrastructures in terms of dimensions, complexity and completeness. The powders produced by Numanova will be used for 3D printing (additive manufacturing) of components for the particle accelerator in the Gran Sasso laboratories.

“We are particularly pleased to have completed this highly innovative production – stated the CEO of Numanova, Marco Paura-. This is an order of considerable technological value, characterized by a purity of materials that other plants cannot guarantee and that also opens up a market, that of international research, which we had not budgeted at the beginning of the activity. Our plant in Nera Montoro (TR) is qualified as the leading production centre in Italy for innovative materials for the growing sector of additive manufacturing, bringing new contents to the great metallurgical tradition of Terni area”.

In addition to pure copper powders, in recent days Numanova has also produced a significant quantity of Ti-Al powders (aluminide) for the sector of 3D printing of motor racing components (mainly engine). Also in this case, it is a highly innovative application in a competitive sector that represents a significant commercial output for the company.

PRESS RELEASE 29 MARCH 2019

Numanova, an Italeaf Group company specialised in the production of metal powders used as raw materials in additive manufacturing (or 3D printing), announces that it has obtained from TUV Austria Group the certification of the production of ferrous and non-ferrous metal powders for special applications, according to the international standard UNI EN ISO 9001:2015, that defines the requirements of quality management systems and allows organizations, on a voluntary basis, to submit to verification, by an accredited certification body, its quality system and its production processes.

The project for the certification of commercial services began with the start of production and, through a process of analysis and verification, has led to the definition of internal procedures aimed at ensuring the proper execution of operational activities and compliance with legal and industry regulations, with the ultimate goal of ensuring customer satisfaction.

The application of the standard guarantees, in fact, that all production processes are carried out according to specific standards and that all phases of the activities are controlled and verifiable, with continuous monitoring and improvement of the service, to ensure greater reliability and efficiency both internally and towards customers.

“We are particularly proud to have obtained this certification that covers all aspects of production – said the CEO of Numanova, Corrado Giancaspro -. This is the first compliance with a quality standard that will see us pursue in the future the achievement of a series of certifications to enter specific sectors such as aeronautics, medical, automotive. Our company is, in fact, burning the stages in an innovative sector such as 3D printing and new materials. Through certification, we demonstrate our ability to monitor internal processes and constantly improve performance, in order to offer increasingly high quality services.

PRESS RELEASE 23 JANUARY 2019

Numanova, an Italeaf Group company specialised in the production of metal powders used as raw materials in additive manufacturing (or 3D printing), announces the start of its industrial activity at its production plant in Nera Montoro (Narni, Italy). In fact, the first order for the production of grade 23 titanium powders for special applications in the aeronautical and space sectors and for 3D printing is currently being completed and will be delivered to a specialised trader for final marketing. This is an innovative production that uses Argon in fusion for gas-atomisation, as an inert process gas for the production and processing of the highest quality metal powders.

With the first fully operational castings made in the Nera Montoro plant, the EIGA (Electrode Induction-melting Inert Gas Atomization) plant comes into operation. This plant allows an advanced process for the production of metal powders from titanium alloys, aluminium, refractory materials, ceramics and precious alloys for special applications and Additive Manufacturing.

Numanova has the most advanced and robust gas-atomisation technology for the production of metallic powders available today on the international market, based (when fully operational) on 2 plants with installed productivity up to 800t/year.

The process consists of atomising a controlled flow of molten metal into very fine droplets by means of a high-pressure Argon jet. As they solidify, the droplets form a highly spherical micrometric powder. Starting from these powder alloys, after a careful and rigorous process of screening, certification and qualification of its product, Numanova is able to provide the market with a wide range of metal powders for the additive manufacture of parts with complex geometries equipped with new functions (for example, for the manufacture of prostheses in the biomedical sector, turbine components in the aeronautical and energy sectors, in the luxury industry).

• The two plants, known as EIGA and VIGA, which will be provided by ALD Vacuum Technologies, will be installed in the Numanova’ facility, in the industrial area of Nera Montoro (TR), and the work will be completed in the second half of 2017

TerniEnergia, smart energy company active in the fields of renewable energy, energy efficiency, waste and energy management, listed on the Star segment of the Italian Stock Exchange and part of Italeaf Group, and 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, subscribed today two EPC contracts for the plant engineering upgrading, the connection to the technical networks, the technology selection and the installation of two gas-atomization plants for the production of metal powders for the additive manufacture.

The amount the order, which will be completed by TerniEnergia in the second half of 2017, amounted to overall Euro 6.5 million.

The two plants, known as EIGA (Electrode-Induction Melting Inert Gas Atomization) and VIGA (Vacuum-Induction Melting Inert Gas Atomization), already authorized by the local authorities, will be installed in the industrial area owned by Numanova of Nera Montoro (TR), with design work, supply and “turnkey” installation, including electrical connections, electrical instrumentation, commissioning and implementation of safety systems. The technology provider will be the ALD Vacuum Technologies, a German company leading in vacuum systems for casting, coating and heat treatment of metals, part of AMG Advanced Metallurgical Group N. V. Netherlands.

The transaction by TerniEnergia is configured as a “related party transaction”, since the operation carried out with its parent Italeaf SpA which, it is recalled, it holds an interest representing 45.06% of the share capital of TerniEnergia and exerts control over it pursuant to Article 2359, first paragraph, no. 2 of the Civil Code and Article 93 of the TUF.
