"Tovotec's vision is to achieve a sheet metal fabrication with ZERO impact on the environment, ZERO consumption of electricity and 100% recycling of each material, always staying up to date on new technologies and with cutting-edge systems, to guarantee the highest level manufacturing. "

Our path
Tovotec is born
2005
Tovotec srl was founded in 2005 in Arquà Polesine, in the province of Rovigo, from the 10-year experience in the sheet metalworking sector of the Tovo brothers. The activity begins in a rented factory, and in 2008 the construction of a new 2000 square meter factory begins a few meters from the existing headquarters.
​
The know-how, the ability in innovation, and the competence in the design and processing of metals are immediately the key to our success.
New Headquarters
2010
After the first 5 years of constant growth, the construction of the new plant is completed and Tovotec moves its headquarters to the new building.
The total area of 2000 square meters is divided into 1800 square meters for the production department and 200 square meters dedicated to the technical and administrative offices. The two areas interface directly and are only divided by a single window. The physical environment also reflects the care and attention we dedicate to the realization of projects and the metalwork production: white resin flooring to give a clear and clean look, like that of all the products we make.
Soon the production area expands to become a total of 3000 square meters.
Empowerment
2019
After the important investments made in the first years of Tovotec, we focused on the development of the final phase of the product, which is welding and finishing, thus enhancing the high quality of the first part of the production cycle and making a well-finished product at 360 °.
Tovotec invests in two robotic systems, an anthropomorphic one for the latest generation mig and tig welding and a robotic system for the grinding and polishing of stainless steel.
IT restructuring
2020
Additions and replacements continue, with a view to the continuous optimization of processing and updating of machinery.
The production slowdown due to the Covid-19 pandemic represents the perfect moment for implementing the IT development: the system restructuring project begins. All the innovative ideas for the management of company resources and work centers are channeled into a single platform called "I-work". It is the beginning of a new expansion and development project largely planned for 2022.
Certified quality
The standard specifies the requirements of a company quality management system, through the ability to regularly supply products and services that meet customer requirements and increase the trust and satisfaction of its customers.
The standard specifies the requirements of an Environmental Management System, providing a systematic framework for the integration of practices to protect the environment, preventing pollution, reducing the extent of waste, the consumption of energy and materials.
Sustainable production
First step
In April 2015 TOVOTEC has started the path towards ever higher Sustainability purchasing a new Fiber Laser plant, featuring advanced performance in speed and acceleration as well as in consumption (far lower than a CO2 laser), thus allowing significant Energy Saving.
2015
Refreshing the Machinery Asset
An ultimate-generation combined laser punching machine and a shear punching machine are installed, completely eliminating the use of oil. These are our first machines working interconnected by Industry 4.0.
2017-2018
Energy Requirements Management
The adoption of the new Management system has allowed the job distribution over a 24-hour period. This allows us to reduce power peaks requirement, and to re-allocate the load on the Distribution Network during the hours of lower demand.
2019
Lower Energy for Internal Movement
The implementation of the Automatic Warehouse reduces the use of forklifts to move items, reducing the use of battery-powered vehicles and relieving the management of accumulators.
2023
Lower Energy for the Cryogenic Plant
The acquisition of new laser machinery, combining the use of nitrogen with compressed air, reduces gas Consumption, the impact of Transport, and Energy Requirement to maintain temperature.
2023
Towards Zero Impact
TOVOTEC's journey towards Sustainability goes ahead. A new factory is nearing completion, including the installation of Photovoltaic Plant. Our goal is to make the Company able to self-produce 100% of its energy needs.
