The Italian Pittini Group has completed the construction of a new bar production line at its factory in Accieri di Verona, which is a strategic investment aimed at expanding production capacity and strengthening the group's position in the reinforcing steel market. The new line, developed in collaboration with the Danieli Group, complements the existing rolling mill, allowing Acciaierie di Verona to expand its product range while increasing flexibility and efficiency.
The project was officially presented by the Pittini Group at the Made in Steel 2025 exhibition, when the company announced that the new rolling mill would be put into operation by the end of the same year. Subsequently, the project was continued as part of a broader modernization program for the Verona plant, and the construction of the new line was completed in 2026.
The new line is designed for the production of reinforcing steel bars and is part of a factory that has undergone modernization. A large-scale modernization process has been carried out over the past ten years. Acciaieria di Verona, which joined the Pittini Group in 2015, operates a steelmaking workshop with an electric arc furnace and a rolling mill. The master plan, launched in 2016, included, among other projects, the construction of a new wire rod factory, a continuous casting machine, the modernization of air and water purification systems, and the covering of a scrap metal warehouse.

Flavio Gagliardi, Reinforcing Steel Production Manager at the Pittini Group, spoke about the strategy behind the new production, which he It considers it primarily as a tool for responding more quickly to customer requirements and supporting the group's commercial expansion.
"The new range produced by the Verona Long Rolling Mill is primarily focused on the Italian market, our main sales market, with a gradual expansion into Central European markets, especially Germany," Gagliardi explained. The location of the plant allows the concern to combine proximity to Italian customers with greater competitiveness of logistics in the Central European markets..
The new rolling mill has been specially designed to increase production flexibility. The line allows the production of bars with diameters from 10 to 22 mm, with the possibility of expanding the range to larger diameters in the future. Its high level of automation also makes it possible to quickly change diameters and lengths according to customer requirements. "This provides a more comprehensive and reliable service that meets both standard requirements and more specific applications," Gagliardi emphasized..
Thus, the new line allows the plant to complement the well-established production of wire rods in Verona with specialized production of rods. According to the Pittini Group, it presents a line characterized by a high level of technological innovation, flexibility in operation, low energy consumption and emissions of harmful substances.
