CUSTOM DIE CASTING SOLUTIONS
QUALITY AND INNOVATION IN THE DNA OF MAESTRI
Fonderie Maestri is a historical company in the Milan area that has been on the market since 1955 with the production of aluminium and zamak die castings.
From its initial headquarters in Via Foggia in Milan, the business moved to Zibido San Giacomo, where a new 4200 m2 factory was built in 2012.
MISSION
Fonderie Maestri’s aim and philosophy is to adapt quickly to market dynamics by searching with the Customer for solutions to produce parts at the lowest cost while guaranteeing the desired level of quality.
We assist the Customer in the industrialisation and die-casting of parts by managing all processes from moulding to machining and finishing, according to the defined specifications.
In-house research and a willingness to experiment are a further strategy to provide customers with solutions that make them competitive in the market.
Only certified 100% renewable electricity
Fonderie Maestri has always stood out in the industry for its strong commitment to sustainable resource management and adoption of green energy solutions. Our partnership with Siemens AG resulted in an in-depth analysis of corporate sustainability, highlighting the real value of renewable energy to our operations.
We have switched to the use of certified 100% renewable Electricity, fully covering the energy needs of our plant. This step has enabled us to achieve important milestones, significantly reducing our carbon footprint and improving operational efficiency. Choosing green energy, in fact, has not only enabled us to cut CO₂ emissions, but has also generated benefits in terms of long-term cost optimization, supporting economic growth in balance with respect for the environment.

The Patent
Closed mould lubrication technology represents the new frontier in die-casting, and Fonderie Maestri is leading the way with its innovative patent. This patented technology not only makes the lubrication process more environmentally friendly, but also improves production efficiency and mould life by significantly reducing the thermal shocks to which the mould is subjected during the normal lubrication process.
Our patent focuses on performing the lubrication process directly in the core of the closed mould. Our propensity for innovation and the use of advanced technology have led us to develop a sophisticated technique, equipped with state-of-the-art hardware and software control systems. Thanks to the environmental working conditions that prompted us to re-evaluate existing practices, we were able to create a revolutionary solution that redefines industry standards.
