November 2024 marked an important moment in Tomatis Lamiere’s history: the obtainment of the environmental certification ISO14001.

After a rigorous staff training programme, in addition to the update of all instruction linked to the productive cycle, the organisation “Bureau Veritas” handed our company the official certification document after a succesful audit.

We are proud to share this achievement because it represents a key feature required by our customers worldwide as well as our firm commitment towards the environment.

All our small everyday actions matter in order to reach a more sustainable future, such as all the renewable energy we produce and use in our production.

The belgian producer LVD, our long-term bending partner, visited Tomatis Lamiere in September 2024 to interview our commercial director Luca Tomatis and to shoot some videos of all the production technologies in the workshop.

LVD press-brakes are a key element on Tomatis Lamiere’s production since 2016, when the first purchase of this brand was made.

The innovative technology and the user-friendly CNC programming interface are important features of these machines, widely appreciated by operators in the office as well as in the production area.

With this kind of machinery our company is able to increase the overall quality level of the parts produced, and to improve the service towards all customers.

Tomatis lamiere was one of the main sponsors of “24 Ore di Sport” that took place in Cuneo on the 14th, 15th, 16th June 2024.

This sporting event gathered athletes competing in 9 disciplines and it was hosted in the “Nuovo Cuneo” recreational space, where the teams faced each other until Sunday 16th June when the finals were held.

Other than the contribution to social and inclusive policies, Tomatis Lamiere has been supporting for years numerous sport organisations surrounding its hometown Cuneo, helping new generations to develop and grow.

In April 2024 a new machining center was installed in Tomatis Lamiere: a 5-axes Soraluce TA35.

Its remarkable dimensions (3.500 x 1.200 x 1.500H) together with its wide range of equipments (including a rotary table) this new investment represents an important step forward in the machining department, counting 4 machines to this day.

Tomatis lamiere has been supporting the association “Paulownia Piemonte” for some time already, and it contributes to plant new trees in the surrounding territory every year.

As a matter of facts, in 2024 our company has donated over 1500 plants that have been bedded in numerous towns of Piedmont region – both in common lands and in private fields.

In addition to the oxygen production, these trees will also be used in the scientifical research thanks to the incredible properties of this kind of vegetation.

In the beautiful location of the “Sala Zuccari”, in the Giustignani Building of the Italian Senate of the Republic, on the 13th October 2023 the conference “Renewables – Hydrogen and Nature” took place.

This important meeting focussed on the future of energy production in Italy, with a particular interest in renewable sources such as green hydrogen.

The director of Tomatis lamiere, Luca Tomatis, attended the event to gather information about new energy production projects which will require metal parts for structures and pipelines.

On the same occasion, moreover, Tomatis Lamiere was given a prize for its environmental commitment, with the donation of 2000 paulownia trees in 2023 as well as new renewable energy production projects undergoing in its facility.

In the summer 2023, following the entry of a new production manager, Tomatis Lamiere began a path towards the implementation of the 5S method in its production facilities.

This system, invented in Japan, is being used in several companies all over the world and in multiple sectors such as the automotive (the most famous example is Toyota), the machinery production, the mechanics and the pharmaceutical industry.

In addition to our quality certifications UNI EN 1090 and ISO9001, this plan will help improve the organization of production areas and to upgrade the aesthetics of our facilities, which are being visited more and more by new customers that are interested in establishing working relations with us.

The goal Tomatis lamiere is setting with this project is to reduce all wastes in the production flow and to create a cleaner and safer working environment for its employees, where everyone can give their contribution towards a continuous improvement.

Well, you know what they say… sometimes the old must make room for the new!

In June 2023 we have dismantled our two oldest laser cutting machines and we finalized an investment to replace them with two new generation machines.

At the same time we have moved the machining department in the place the two lasers used to be, so that we made more room for the two new cutting machines and their automatic storage system.

The new laser technologies have a power of 6 kW and a working range of 4.000 x 2.000 mm, with a cutting capacity up to 20mm. The highly automated sheets storage system will allow us to increase our productivity and to improve the unattended cutting cycle, therefore enlarging our overall volumes.

In May 2023 some exciting news came knocking on our door…a new XL laser cutting machine arrived!

This new piece of equipment has a cutting desk of 12.500 x 3.000 mm and it can cut thicknesses up to 25mm, as well as perform mechanical drilling thanks to its piercing unit.

The double cutting heads configuration guarantees a high productivity and it reduces operating times, with the result of lower part costs.

“We are proud to welcome this new machine in our fleet, because it will increase our production capacity significantly in a market sector we are very confident in for the future” declares the owner Danilo Tomatis after the startup operations. The new investment has been put into production right away following the increasing demand from our customers, and it is proving to be a key asset for our work.

In the Teoresi group headquarters in Turin, on the 6th April 2023, the award ceremony of the “Meet the Champions” event took place.

The event was organized in cooperation with the magazine Il Corriere della Sera thanks to the contribution of Credit Agricole bank and Auxiell, and it was the first chapter of a bigger project all over the Italian territory.

This award comes from an accurate analysis carried out by the Italy Post research team, and it has been given to the 1000 best SME Italian companies in terms of profitability, growth and financial strength.

The occurrence was a fruitful gathering of company owners and directors coming from various fields, as well as an occasion to exchange opinions and experiences.

Luca Tomatis, one of the directors of Tomatis Lamiere srl, was given the prize and he took part in an interview about the future developments of the business both in the national and international market.

In november 2022 a new 3 axis vertical machining center was purchased and added to the machine fleet in this department that now counts 3 units.

This new piece of equipment will give our business more flexibility in the machining operations of small and medium-sized parts, as this working step is more and more appreciated by our customers.

This new investment follows the path of growth and innovation undergone by Tomatis Lamiere in order to cope with new challenges of the steel working market, and it aims to complete the offer towards customers who are asking for a finished product.

In July 2022 two new machines arrived and were installed in the bending department.

The two press brakes had been bought in the fall of 2021 and they are making an important addition to the existing ones, in order to boost the output in this precise sector:

• A press brake with 6.000 working length and a 640 tons power for medium-thin parts
• A press brake with a working length of 3.000 mm and an automatic tool changing system that will speed up the operations on small parts

These investments are part of a bigger plan to modernise all the production tools, in order to increase competitivity on every market sector.

These new machines are going to rationalise production as well as to reduce energy consumption, thanks to their new technology that allows to save electricity.

The company Tomatis Lamiere has donated 2.000 new Paulownia trees to the association “Paulownia Piemonte”, which will be responsible for their distribution and plantation in both public and private properties.

The Paulownia tree is the biggest CO2 absorbing species, and it boasts the fastest growth among all types of plants, up to 5 metres per year.

Moreover, it is suitable for purifying the soil from polluting substances, and it helps the biodiversity and ecosystem with its large flowers giving nutrition to bees and other insects.

This new round of donation from Tomatis Lamiere represents an important gesture towards the environment and it increases the previous project carried out in 2020, when 1.500 trees were planted.

In the first months of 2022 Tomatis Lamiere has purchased a new industrial warehouse next to its facility, in order to stock parts ready to be delivered to customers.

The new building has a surface of 4.000 sq.m. and it increases the covered area of the business, reaching a total of 20.000 sq.m. with its different departments.

The strategic position of this new structure allows for a rationalisation of space and for an improvement in the production flow.
