Europa Metalli is a world leader in the technology of copper moulds for the continuous casting of steel. EM ingot moulds are reliable because of their long service life, their high standard of performance and the 40 years of know-how, innovation and research in this sector which we have put into engineering a top quality product.
Europa Metalli is the largest industrial concern in this sector in Italy, and boasts a yearly production of more than 230,000 tons, and almost 1,700 staff spread across three production plants in Northern and Central Italy, in its Florence headquarters and in its advanced Research Centre.
Copper Moulds Europa Metalli S.p.A. is an Italian company which can look back to more than 100 years of experience in the field of copper moulds and copper molds.  |
With the aim of making an even more efficient use of its products, Europa Metalli manufactures stainless steel mould-cooling jackets, which are specially designed to go with its ingot moulds. The main features of our cooling jackets include: no mechanical joints, very close size tolerances, no distortion in time.

The production of mould tubes starts with the casting of the selected alloy, which is then cast in bars with round cross section. The bars are then extruded and forged.
The tube thus obtained is cold-drawn, bent and tapered in a high-powered press. This last processing stage is by far the most crucial step in manufacturing copper moulds tubes. To achieve it, special equipment is used which is specific to each type of ingot mould. The equipment itself is produced inside our production plant with sophisticated machinery.
