The FONDMETAL Group creates car technology through projects aimed at achieving top mechani-cal, aerodynamic and speed performance.

HISTORYFONDMETAL started its activity in the early ‘70s as a company “specialised in the casting of metals for third parties”, a family tradition dating back to 1908. Gabriele Rumi, the founder of the company, then considered the possibility of launching a pro-duct of his own: alloy wheels. The manufacturing started in 1980 and was immediately successful, so much so that, as from 1984, the entire produc-tion was devoted to this product.In 1992, the first custom-made wheel for OEM mass production was made, and the Group was strengthened with the creation of FONDMETAL TECHNOLOGIES (now FondTech) together with its wind tunnel facility, as well as the acquisition of RADIUS, a company specialised in the marketing of top-range wheels.

In 2004, another hi-tech company joined the Group: AEROLAB, with a state-of-the-art wind tunnel able to work in synergy with FondTech.A strategically important leap forward for FONDMETAL was its presence in Formula 1, first with the production and supply of specific magne-sium wheels for various teams since 1983, then with the creation of FONDMETAL F1 (1989-1992) and then with the acquisition and management of MINARDI F1 (1996-2000).FONDMETAL today continues to be present on the toughest racing fields worldwide by coopera-ting directly to the development of speed perfor-mances of the most important car manufacturers in the Formula 1, Formula 3, Le Mans and DTM championships.Over the last few years, the Group has reached 200 employees, with a production capacity, for wheels alone, of over 1.000.000 units and an average of 60 projects developed in one year.

FONDMETAL is present all over the world and co-operates with Alfa Romeo, AMG, Bertone, Fiat, Kia, Lamborghini, Lotus, Mazda, Nissan, Infiniti, Pininfarina, Porsche, Renault, Saab, Seat, Suzuki, Tesla, Toyota, as well as with numerous car impor-ters in the various countries.

ACTIVITIESThe fields of activity of the Fondmetal Group are many, all of them characterised by Research and Development and by the highest techno-logical standards. The Group’s core business is represented by products and services for the automotive, including the top specialisation of car racing.

The Group’s activities:

• Design study, development and manufacturing of aluminium alloy wheels• Direct aftermarket sales with the FONDMETAL and RADIUS brands• Design and production of alloy wheels for Original Equipment• Study, development and realisation of aerodynamic outfit• Study, development and realisation of models for streamline development• Wind tunnel testing for motorsport

RESEARCH ANDDEVELOPMENTFONDMETAL has progressively enhanced its R&D centre with the most up-to-date design and virtual simulation systems. Engineers and designers work with stylists and draftsmen to define the design of new products: all these elements have made FONDMETAL a trend-setter in its field.Notable are the Modulo project, the Technology Line, the first customisable wheels such as the Tech5, the Steel Lip system, the latest born 9GR and TECH6 for the FONDMETAL line, and R12, R14, R15 for the RADIUS line. All of these are characterized by a system of in-serts with innovative design solutions that have contributed to place FONDMETAL in the “HALL OF FAME” published by the prestigious ICSID (International Council of Societies of Industrial Design).

TECHNOLOGYThe production facilities at Palosco, Italy, are cha-racterized by a high level of automation covering

the whole production process, wheels handling and warehousing.The main steps of the production process take place in specific departments in synergy with each other and connected by conveyor belts.Metal melting and treatment are made in modern furnaces. Degassing and chemical modifications take place in a completely automated plant which was designed and developed by FONDMETAL.Casting is made on automated islands with gravity and low-pressure systems operated by robots, with an exclusive system of dust aspiration and filtering.Machining takes place on robotised CNC lines, and painting is made in closed, filtered and pressurised plants where the operations of degreasing, chemi-cal anti-corrosion treatment, application and curing of paints are completely automated.The wheels are packed in locations where 100% of production is submitted to quality control.Respect for the environment is highly valued than-ks to the optimisation of all stages of the produc-tion process, as well as to the use of low-impact

raw materials, to energy saving, to the use of up-to-date plants, to a programme of preventative maintenance, to the collection, treatment and au-tomatic recycling of slag and residues of the pro-duction process.

LOGISTICSWarehouse storage and pick-up of finished product are managed by a completely automated plant, able to handle over 40.000 wheels of different sizes and types in more than 1.000 housings, moving appro-ximately 2.800 wheels per hour, and with a shipping area having a capacity of 10.000 pieces.

CERTIFICATIONSThe continuous search for total quality is guarante-ed by the most important certifications.For products: TÜV, JWL, VIA; for the production pro-cess: ISO/TS 16949:2002. Furthermore, the com-pany has implemented a system for the manage-ment of environmental safety in accordance with the UNI-EN ISO14001:2004 standards.
