SAFOP, an Italian company founded in 1923 and based in Pordenone, north of Venice, has announced that it has appointed MULTISTATION to represent its range of machines in France. SAFOP manufactures a complete range of railway lathes for the maintenance of trains, metros and tramways: pit lathes in single or tandem versions, gantry lathes for dismantled axles and lathes for axle shafts. SAFOP also produces medium and large capacity multifunctional horizontal lathes for the energy industry (turbine rotors, etc.), the steel industry (machining of forged parts, etc.), the aerospace industry (machining of landing gear, etc.), the oil industry (spherical valves, etc.) and the marine industry (machining of propeller shafts, etc.). SAFOP has acquired numerous references and extensive know-how in each of these applications, and exports its machines all over the world. ‘We are delighted to be extending our range of machine tools to two fast-growing sectors, railways and nuclear energy, and to be able to offer users a local service,’ says Yannick Loisance, CEO of Multistation.
Multistation, founded in 1987, is a provider of disruptive technologies and services for digital and additive manufacturing. Its expertise in additive manufacturing covers a wide range of sectors, including the automotive, aerospace, rail, energy, medical, subcontracting, education and R&D sectors …. These include SMEs and major accounts such as Renault, Peugeot, Citroën, Safran, Airbus, SNCF and Cartier in France, North Africa and many other countries around the world.
Safop started out in 1923 building small machine tools.
In over ninety years of experience, our production activity has changed radically. Great care in the design phase and a financial commitment to research and development have enabled us to achieve a high level of specialisation in the production of technically advanced and highly customisable machine tools, according to customer needs.
Thanks to our extensive sales organisation, the machines we produce are used on the international market in a wide range of industrial sectors, including energy, steel, paper, oil, aeronautics, shipbuilding, rail and heavy industry.
Since 2007, the Safop plant has been located in Pordenone, covering an area of 24,000 square metres, 8,300 of which are indoors.
