Gauss Automazione was set up in 1967 by a group of partners, still at the head of the company, who perceived the need for fullyautomated systems to convey cast aluminium from the holding furnaces to the pressure die-casting machines. These systems, which are still being produced, enabled Gauss to specialise in the casting of aluminium alloys, with special emphasis on gravity die-casting. GAUSS AUTOMAZIONE today employs a staff of over 80 and has a yearly turnover of well over ten million euro. With over three decades' experience Gauss is the ideal partner for small and large aluminium foundries planning to rationalise their production processes. Flexibility is now a fundamental requirement for companies who want to be competitive and increase their output. Gauss has considerably improved its customer service over the last few years in terms of mechanical design and in-process control, thanks to an efficient computer network developed by the company's own software specialists In its continuous quest for excellence, the company has achieved international recognition with UNI ISO 9001 certification, which in overall company policy is not the end of the road, it is just a milestone on the way to Total Quality.
