From the way the story was reconstructed, it all started because of a misunderstanding with the referee. The match was immediately suspended and the player's repentance was not enough to avoid the consequences of his actions: "I am ashamed of what I did, I apologize to everyone", were his first words. The club immediately "dissociated" itself from what happened, announcing its separation from its member who lives in San Zeno and works as a welder. The sports judge, in addition to suspending Gueye for a long period, also recognized the objective responsibility of the club: the match was forfeited, with a one-point penalty in the standings and a 250 euro fine. Bontempi Vibo SpA has introduced a new hot forging department at its Rodengo Saiano, Italy site, in order to produce special shapes and profiles that are more articulated and complex than ever before. Along with a new hot forging technique and highly qualified staff, Vibo now boasts considerable levels of robotics and automation, enabling further flexibility with quick product changes and shorter delivery times. The new investment has also enabled Vibo to expand its product range with a further assortment of stud bolts and screws up to 1,000mm and diameters up to and including M64.  The combination of technical expertise and the new forging line allows Vibo’s specialised team to take care of the entire production process from initial costing to complete development, whilst maintaining consistently high-levels of quality and efficiency that the company has become renowned for. Additional investments are planned next year for the new hot forging department, aimed at further improving the production process which will significantly reduce lead times and further increase the quality of the final product.   Having spent a decade in the fastener industry experiencing every facet – from steel mills, fastener manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors, as well as machinery builders and plating + coating companies, Claire has developed an in-depth knowledge of all things fasteners.

sistema Almost 60 years of growth and investments has enabled Bontempi Vibo to become an international leader in advanced industrial fasteners – producing over 25,000 tonnes of screws and 1 billion parts annually – all whilst still upholding the characteristics of a family business explains: “Ever since my father started the company in a small workshop in Berzo Inferiore we have kept the same passion for both the quality of our products as well as ensuring a reliable service to our customers Thanks to our commitment to a family ethos we have been able to build long-lasting partnerships with our customers Bontempi Vibo offers a wide variety of screws and bolts and specialises in the production of hex head and hex socket head fasteners by cold forging carbon and stainless steel as well as supplying several top quality surface coatings The company has three production plants in Rodengo-Saiano after Bontempi acquired FRAM Srl and intergrated it into the single organisation structure at the end of 2019 the production facility in Bellusco will hot forge lengths greater than 300mm and diameters up to M64 high specification production plant are three latest generation screw presses with pre-heating by induction It’s this strategy of continuously enlarging our range of products that led us to establishing FRAM three years ago,” comments Raoul Bontempi “The founding of the business actually took us back to my father’s hot forging roots.” FRAM was originally created to add expertise in hot forged bolt manufacturing to Bontempi’s existing wide range of cold forming capabilities “As a business we want to continuously evolve and obtain the highest customer satisfaction levels which is why we incorporated FRAM within the Bontempi Group We will now continue to lead the fastener industry for cold forming and hot forging – all under the Bontempi name,” points out Raoul Bontempi Whilst making these changes in-house it was important for Bontempi to also retain the expertise and experience within FRAM Marco Polato – co-founder of FRAM – is now commercial director for Bontempi Group This is not the only change to the Group management sales manager at Bontempi Vibo for over 15 years Based at Bontempi’s headquarters in Brescia the Rodengo Saiano plant is also home to the sales purchasing and administrative offices This plant is set-up to continuously produce screws and bolts of different types which has a capacity of over 15,000 pallet bays “The only way to compete with worldwide players is with automisation,” says Vittoriano Calomeni a fully automated warehouse with 15,000 pallet spaces was built Vittoriano continues: “We are very proud of what we have achieved at Bontempi Group at a time when the market conditions were extremely volatile It’s paramount we keep this level of investment and commitment in order for us to compete at not just a European level Raoul Bontempi adds: “The warehouse itself is our main advantage when competing worldwide It enables us to have a wide range of products and strengthens our position in the market Our service to our customers is key and our time to market is a huge selling point.” Bontempi has also been investing in its second plant – based in Calabritto and equipped for cold forging hex head and socket head screws with diameters from 6mm to 12mm “Recent investments at this site include the installation of a new modern heat treatment line with a capacity of up to 1,500kg/h as well as new machinery to enable it to produce screws with captive washers,” mentions Vittoriano “The addition of these new machines also enables us to reduce lead times and produce the part in both carbon steel and stainless steel.” Also housed at the Calabritto site is a raw material warehouse with over 3,000 tonnes stored on-site along with a wire rod sandblasting and polymerisation department packaging department and the inspection laboratory Quality is at the forefront for Bontempi Vibo – with an integrated system running across all three of its production plants “Bontempi stands for quality and is recognised on the market for this commitment This is one of the main advantage we have – the importance of a quality product is in the product itself,” proudly states Vittoriano Bontempi supplies standard and special parts into a number of safety critical applications with customers requiring in-depth documentation and specifications Therefore investment in a new MES was of paramount importance to Bontempi Vibo to ensure a consistent high-quality approach “The new MES collates all the production data to one central system,” explains Vittoriano “This system also enables customers to receive information about stock and able to access ‘virtual stock’.” The company can also arrange visits for end users in order to gain approval as a quality supplier “Industries such as nuclear need us to work with the end user from the design stage for the bespoke critical parts Our aim is clear,” comments Raoul Bontempi Vittoriano adds: “We must also now concentrate on Industry 4.0 This philosophy will enable us to continue to grow and make our offering even more desirable the product we sell is the screw and our service Its a whole complete package in order to fulfil our customers’ needs.” “There’s plenty of opportunities for Bontempi Vibo to invest in not only our operations We’re open to all possibilities and we will continue to grow We’ll still be here in another 10 years and we’ll be bigger than we are today – both through our product offerings and our worldwide reach It’s an exciting time for us here at Bontempi Vibo.” www.vibo.com Having spent a decade in the fastener industry experiencing every facet – from steel mills as well as machinery builders and plating +
