The past
Engineer Ilario Properzi (1897-1976), inventor and promoter of continuous casting and direct rolling for non-ferrous metal, founded Continuus-Properzi S.p.A in 1947. This new melting and rolling technology has completely revolved the industry world of non-ferrous wire rods allowing unimaginable developments in the sectors of transmission, distribution and communication of electricity. Since then the wire rod on the market was called Properzi-Rod. One of the first Continuus-Properzi Continuous Casting and Rolling Line (CCR) has been exhibited since 1958 at the Leonardo da Vinci National Museum of Science and Technology in Milano (Italy), and refreshed in 2015. Currently, 30% of the CCR copper lines and over 95% of the aluminium lines worldwide, excluding China are from Continuus-Properzi Company.
