Ferriere Giuseppe Cima (FGC), established in 1790, is a specialized manufacturer of steel wires, ropes, and cables based in Lecco, Italy. The company began as a nail and small metal products factory and has evolved significantly over its long history.
FGC's core business focuses on producing core strands for high voltage overhead lines, but the company has diversified its product portfolio to serve multiple industries. Their product range includes specialized solutions for energy transmission, telecommunications, railways, agriculture, adventure parks, lifelines, and industrial equipment.
The company's manufacturing capabilities include drawing, zinc-coating, and stranding processes. They offer various products such as wires and core strands for conductors, ground wire strands, strands for stays, wire ropes for tensioning devices, and specialized solutions for agricultural applications like orchards and vineyards.
A significant milestone was reached in 2007 with the establishment of CIMATECH, a division dedicated to developing solutions for orchards, vineyards, containment barriers, and adventure parks. The company maintains high quality standards with EN ISO 9001:2008 certification.
FGC's technical expertise is particularly evident in their specialized coatings, including zinc-aluminum alloy with rare earths, which provides enhanced corrosion protection. They also offer polyester-coated steel wire ropes for specific applications like adventure parks.
The company maintains a strong focus on innovation and customer collaboration, continuously developing new products and optimizing production solutions, particularly in their priority sectors of energy, railways, and agriculture.
