more collaboration.
Ghezzi, Italy
Partnering with ENKOTEC has enabled Ghezzi to elevate their product quality and enhance production efficiency.
In a highly competitive market, the continuous development of new machinery and processes are crucial for success. We have collaborated closely with Ghezzi as a research partner to expand our product range and offer modern solutions.
A Long-Lasting Partnership
Ghezzi’s partnership with ENKOTEC dates back to the beginning of 1995, and the first ENKOTEC machine was shipped to Tuenno in 1997. And more were to follow.
Owner and manager Ezio Ghezzi recalls: “Our first impression of ENKOTEC's rotary nail machine was really positive, because it was fast and also different from the traditional ones, without the use of oil, absence of friction bearing and moving parts, and it does not have any problems during rotation”.
Following the expansion with a new production facility in 2002, Ghezzi increased its workforce to 25 employees to meet the high demand. Ghezzi required nail manufacturing machinery capable of producing high-quality nails, boosting production capacity, and offering customised nail solutions. This need was met by integrating ENKOTEC’s rotary nail making machines into the Ghezzi factory.
Since then, Ghezzi's success has continued, so much so that they now operate in 5 locations with 180 employees!
Working Together To Develop Solutions
Our partnership is rooted in the mutual exchange of knowledge and experience. Ghezzi have played a crucial role in testing new components of our nail machines at their factory. This collaboration and our joint research efforts enabled Ghezzi to be among the first to manufacture nails with clinch points using ENKOTEC machines. Additionally, with our support, they successfully produced nails with head markings, which are approved and certified by the EPAL (European Pallet Association) quality system.
Ezio Ghezzi reflects on the partnership: “With the entry of the third generation of the Ghezzi family, we aim to present ourselves as a company that modernises and automates as many production phases as possible to enhance quality and efficiency. For this reason, we have turned to ENKOTEC, who have helped us to increase the quality of our products, being able to offer vanguard nail machines and specialised staff for the solution of any types of issue."
Currently, Ghezzi is focused on continuously improving quality and expanding its market presence within the EU. Offering new products is a key part of this strategy. Ezio Ghezzi adds: “Ghezzi is committed to maintaining a cooperative relationship with ENKOTEC to jointly study and develop new types of nail machines and products in the future.”
