Heat Treatment Service

The heat treatment division was founded in 2000s with the aim of representing a qualified partner in the steel industry able to offer a 360° heat treatment service through its own high-performing plants.

All the Furnaces installed in GF-ELTI are certified according to the most stringent International Sector Regulations and are covered by numerous Process and Product Patents. For these reasons GF-ELTI is included in the Manufacture Process Specifics (MPS) of the Industry Players as a recognised, certified and recommended heat treatment centre for the transformation of steel products. The Heat Treatment Division operates according to a certified Quality System that complies with UNI EN 9100, a standard that meets the requirements of the authorities and manufacturers of the Aerospace and Defence Sector. All the new Combustion Systems designed by the GF-ELTI R&D Center are tested and validated in-house before being marketed, in order to grant an additional reliability level. Each Technological Revamping represents a cutting-edge solution and an industry benchmark, stimulated by Customer’s inputs and market analysis results.
