Our commitment to a more sustainable future

Since its establishment in 1994, Presezzi Extrusion Group has developed a reputation for producing and commissioning extrusion lines for non-ferrous metals, particularly aluminium.

With over three decades in operation, today, it is one of the world's leading manufacturers of extrusion presses. Its name has become synonymous with HIGH-LEVEL TECHNOLOGY and FLEXIBILITY in designing and constructing various presses for aluminium, hard alloy, copper and brass.

Currently, the Presezzi Extrusion Group offers turnkey extrusion lines and modern foundries for aluminium alloy logs, thanks to its ongoing commitments and investments in research and development geared toward improving and improving the efficiency and sustainability of its machines.

In the Group's management policies, energy efficiency and savings have always been regarded as essential components and cornerstones of manufacturing and engineering.

Driven by this vision of energy saving and production efficiency, our R&D department has developed an energy-saving system, called the PE Energy Saving System (PE.E.S.S.). Presezzi developed and created the PE Energy Saving System to achieve considerable energy savings in production while maintaining and/or improving the production performance and the quality of the extrusions.

The system is based on two cornerstones: savings and technological innovation. The concept of savings does not only translate into energy savings but also into machines involving a smaller number of components necessary for their operation, which at the same time make the manufacture and installation of the press leaner and less subject to production stops and down times for maintenance.

It is no coincidence that we were the first in our field to voluntarily develop an environment label (Environmental Product Declaration - EPD) for our products. EPDs are declarations that present clear, objective, and verified information regarding the environmental performance of a product, assessed over its entire life cycle.

To date, Presezzi Extrusion Group has published two EPDs for the products:

S-P-06355 Permanent Magnet Heater ZPE (Zero Pollution Energy)

An innovative magnetic induction heating system for billets of non-ferrous materials, where the only energy required is to drive the magnetic sectors. 

POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT Global Warming Potential (GWP) 96 kg CO2eq*

* figure per tonne of heat-treated aluminium. In reference to ZPE 10", billet length 1500 mm

S-P-06388 Extrusion Press ESS (Energy Saving System)

An Energy Saving System was applied to extrusion presses, allowing reduced electrical power consumption during production and the improved yield and quality of the extruded profiles.

POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT Global Warming Potential (GWP) 87 kg CO2eq*

* figure per tonne of extruded aluminium in reference to press ESS 40MN 10", billet length 1500 mm

ZPE Permanent Magnet Heater

The aim is to offer and guide clients towards technologies capable of environmentally friendly production without needing to renounce production performance and efficiency.

With the EPD, the Presezzi Extrusion Group seeks to facilitate the virtuous conduct of its clients, providing them with a tool that certifies the environmental impact of the machine for working metal throughout its entire life cycle, thus obtaining important information for assessing the overall impact of the final product.  

Various environmental impact indicators such as climate change, eutrophication, acidification, use of abiotic resources, and water scarcity are used by Presezzi Extrusion Group to assess the environmental performance of its products.

One of the fundamental premises that prompted the decision to obtain the EPD is the possibility to determine, through said EPD, the total carbon dioxide equivalent consumption, and not just of the product, offering clients the opportunity to assess their impact on the climate objectively, and therefore also act constructively to reduce and/or eliminate it.

Obtaining these EPD certifications requires a very structured and accurate process to acquire essential information needed to measure, monitor, and implement targeted actions to reduce the impact of products on the environment and climate.

As part of the EPD development process, a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of the product is performed, which is compliant with international life cycle analysis standards (ISO 14040-44) and the rules of the chosen Programme Operator. In this case, the International EPD System is one of the most widely used Program Operators at the international level for environmental product declarations.

The LCA is a procedure to quantify the potential environmental impacts generated by a product or service along the entire value chain. Therefore, the LCA methodology supports innovation, eco-efficiency, the circular economy and the communication and marketing of more sustainable products.

The results of the LCA study are then carefully verified by an independent third party before being reported in the EPD, together with other information concerning the products under analysis, the company, and its environmental policies. Once ready, the EPD is registered and published on the Programme Operator's website and therefore available for anyone to consult.

Every day, Presezzi Extrusion Group demonstrates its commitment to handing over a better world to future generations: the constant search for innovative and sustainable technological solutions and obtaining these certifications are further proof of this.
