He illustrated how a finished component is created from a \u2018simple\u2019 drawing and some powder, our main raw material. He also highlighted the extraordinary versatility that allows us to <strong>produce a single prototype<\/strong> or <strong>mass produce<\/strong> a series of identical components.<br \/>\nWe boast quality and excellence, a factor recognised on an <strong>international level<\/strong> and confirmed by our export sales figures and commercial exchanges with the rest of the world.<br \/>\nThe group\u2019s turnover has grown from 36 million euros in 2008 to <strong>48 million euros in 2018<\/strong>. The company is bucking the trend in relation to the current Italian socio-economic context, for example in relation to <strong>human resources management<\/strong>. It is employing staff rather than laying them off, it always pays staff on time and has never had to deal with trade union disputes.<br \/>\nMr Tedeschi also stressed that the OMCD group, established soon after the war in Anzola d\u2019Ossola, has a strong commitment to <strong>localisation<\/strong>. It boasts various sites in Piedmont, two in Lombardy and two subsidiaries in Bulgaria and Brazil. More than 150 of the 300 or so people employed by the group live in the area surrounding Anzola d\u2019Ossola. Work is currently in progress on a new production site in Premosello Chiovenda, just a few kilometres away from the current main sites, in line with the group\u2019s commitment to continued investment in the area of origin.<br \/>\nAsked to illustrate the <strong>applications for our tungsten alloys<\/strong>, Mr Tedeschi replied to the journalist Vanni Caratto: \u201cEverything we wear has come into contact with a hard metal or copper tungsten component at some point, without copper tungsten we wouldn\u2019t have electricity in our homes and our methane gas usually passes through a valve made from hard metal\u201d.<br \/>\nHard metal, or cemented carbide, is therefore used in every industrial application you can think of.<\/p>\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_2047\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2047\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2047 size-gallery-2-columns\" src=\"https:\/\/www.omcd.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/01-vanni-caratto-intervista-alberto-tedeschi-min-600x350.jpg\" alt=\"vanni-caratto-intervista-alberto-tedeschi\" width=\"600\" height=\"350\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2047\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The RAI journalist Vanni Caratto makes an interview to our CEO, Mr Alberto Tedeschi<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li>\n<li>Luca Provenghi, Plant Director of FILMS SpA, spoke of the <strong>care and protection of the environment and people<\/strong> who work for the OMCD group.<br \/>\nOperators who handle the metal powders used to make Hard Metal, such as tungsten, tantalum and cobalt, are guaranteed working conditions of the utmost <strong>safety<\/strong>. We <strong>put people first<\/strong> (we don\u2019t think of staff as employees, we think of them as people), which means we care for their <strong>physical and mental wellbeing<\/strong>, taking into account the environment in which they spend a large part of their lives.<br \/>\nLuca Provenghi also drew attention to the group\u2019s care for the external environment, through the <strong>reuse and recycling of scrap hard metal<\/strong>.<br \/>\nThe method used, conceived by the OMCD group, has zero environmental impact as it uses heat treatment rather than a chemical process. On the one hand, it enables us to limit the use of virgin raw materials and on the other hand, it enables us to recycle products after use and use them again in new production activities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The filming took place in the grinding department of FILMS SpA and, in the background, you can see a small display of some of our products:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a0round and flat rods (mainly used to produce Hard Metal molds using EDM die sinking), a cup wheel (used to sharpen diamond plates using EDM) and sintered components in copper and tungsten made by <strong>Celsia<\/strong>;<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0a CVD-coated die designed for the iron and steel market and a shaped die designed for processing non-ferrous materials, both produced by Scleros SpA;<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0feet for tile processing, produced by <strong>FILMS SpA<\/strong> in both semi-finished (pre-sintered) and finished and ground versions;<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0inserts for peeling CVD-coated Hard Metal bars and a stem tool with relative insert for tube scarfing, produced by <strong>Harditalia<\/strong> and sold and known worldwide as the <strong>Diamil<\/strong> brand.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you missed the live program, you can <strong>see the entire service<\/strong> on the link below:<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Buongiorno Regione \u2013 Piemonte che produce\"
