Giovenzana International B.V.

HISTORY

Founded in Italy in 1952, Giovenzana gradually consolidated its expertise in the field of safety components for industrial technologies. In the 1970s, Giovenzana began its journey of internationalisation by expanding into new European and international markets.
The gradual expansion around the world coincided with an increasing diversification of its product range linked to the search for new economic sectors. With 70 years of experience, Giovenzana has focused its strategy on creating innovative and reliable products that can anticipate market requirements.

GLOBAL NETWORK

Giovenzana sells to 75 countries and develops components in compliance with European and international standards. Giovenzana exports worldwide and manages its customers through a competent and available global sales network. The business relationship with customers is facilitated by a structured logistics system and the presence of an up-to-date website that accompanies the customer in the conscious choice of the right product.

QUALITY & ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY

Attention to product quality, innovative research and continuous development of new projects by our R&D department represent our daily commitment. The commercial success of a product is the end result of the combined efforts of all the human resources working within an organisational structure that is focused on quality.
We develop components for various applications by carefully monitoring our processes (ISO 9001:2015), we also pay special attention to the environment (ISO 14001:2015) and the safety and respect of our employees (ISO 45001:2018). All products are of certified quality and follow the Rohs, Pfos, Raee and Reach guidelines.

R&D DEPARTMENT

The R&D Department consists of technical experts, highly qualified engineers, designers and researchers who are able to meet customers' technical requirements. The R&D department works in a step-by-step manner, starting from product design, through the various stages of prototyping, verification and testing, to the final product.
All these activities are carried out with the highest quality management to meet the most stringent and restrictive product specifications.
The use of advanced design programmes, prototyping machines and all the technical equipment in our test laboratory enables the company to develop new technologies by creating devices with the highest specifications. The R&D Department actively collaborates with the Intellimech Consortium, a private consortium of small, medium and large companies focused on interdisciplinary research in the field of mechatronics. For the past two years, one of our resources has been working in JOiiNT LAB, the joint laboratory born out of the agreement between the Italian Institute of Technology (IIT) and Intellimech, a mechatronics research consortium promoted over 10 years ago by Kilometro Rosso and Confindustria Bergamo.
JOiiNT LAB operates on the themes of robotics and mechatronics for applications in industry: activities are carried out in the Genoa headquarters of IIT and on the Kilometro Rosso campus, with the aim of strengthening the country's industrial system with innovation.
A new team, the new Digital Innovation Department, has settled in our new Study and Development office in the Kilometro Rosso Innovation District, the innovation ecosystem where great ideas become business. Kilometro Rosso is one of Europe's leading innovation districts. It is the meeting place between research and enterprise: a functional structure to generate synergies between business activities, research centres, laboratories, professional services and higher education. In addition to having a stable resource in the joint laboratory, Giovenzana has established a new team in the Innovation District of Kilometro Rosso, one of Europe's leading innovation districts and a meeting place for research and enterprise.The new Digital Transformation Department is to all intents and purposes a new branch of Giovenzana's R&D department that deals with innovation and digitisation and has started working first on the evolution of the standard product range and then moving on to the conception and experimentation of futuristic projects.
