Eredi Scabini was established in 1945, thanks to the initiative and enthusiasm of its founder Osvaldo Scabini who established a firm position on the Italian heat engineering market from the very outset with high technological content refractory products, capable of meeting the needs of the most demanding customers. This was the start of a success story, involving major novelties and ongoing confirmations which quickly transformed the Eredi Scabini enterprise into an important reference point for the iron and steel market in Italy. Mr. Scabini's son Daniele joined the Company in 1965 and this addition reconfirmed the company's mission for quality and innovation. The list of records grew longer and more significant. For example: Eredi Scabini was the first company to introduce monolithic refractories in Italy as an alternative to the standard bricks combining these with the direct production of pre-formed materials and the lining service for complete furnaces, using the customer's shell or structural metalwork produced directly. Reassured by its direct experience, in 1993 Eredi Scabini addressed the market in its new capacity as a producer of monolithic refractories. The new acknowledgements were not long in arriving and the company was forced to reorganise the productive structure after only a few years: firstly, the company's plant was extended, a new plant was purchased later to cater for the continued market demands. Eredi Scabini currently operates on an overall area that exceeds 20,000 sq.m. located between Siziano (PV) and Casarile (MI). The Scabini family, now in its third generation with Mr. Scabini's sons Corrado and Massimiliano, still controls and manages the company in accordance with the same principles which determined its success. Today, the Company has a staff of more than 50 specialised employees, enabling the company to operate readily on both the domestic and international market.
