BIASI Brand History
The Italian company Biasi, one of the world's leading manufacturers of heating equipment, was founded in 1938 by Leopoldo Biasi in the city of Verona. Biasi is rapidly developing and thanks to constant engineering developments it is gaining a firm position in the market of heat engineering manufacturers. The company consolidated its success in the late 50's, launching a line for the production of radiators. The basis for this was its own cast iron shop.
In 1986, Biasi adds to its product range a line for the production of hinged gas boilers in Pardenone, and also creates the Savio brand for air conditioning products. Thanks to this, the production cycle of the company becomes closed and self-sufficient, which together with research and constant engineering know-how in production, makes Biasi the leader of the heating industry in Italy. This step was only a prelude to the international conquest of the market. The dream of Leopoldo Biasi was realized, anticipating all the expectations of the creator.
Today Biasi Group unites seven companies: a network of specialized factories and foundries. Offices of the company Biasi are deployed in 40 countries around the world. Thanks to a network of professional employees, the company offers the most advanced technological solutions and services that allow consumers to correctly choose and install heating equipment.
The company's pride is its own foundry for the casting of Fossver cast iron, which is located in Verona. Investments in equipping the workshop, at the time of its creation, exceeded 2.8 million euros, which made it possible to equip it with the latest technology. This is the only plant in its industry with robotics that fully automates production and allows producing about 22 tons of processed material per hour and 55,000 tons of pig iron per year. On two automated lines of the plant smelted cast-iron sections, as well as aluminum radiators. BIASI engineers have developed their own technology for the production of sand molds for the casting of cast-iron sections of heat exchangers, which minimize the consumption of material on the connecting ducts. Continuous investment in the development of technology, equipment and motivation of staff allowed to create efficient heat exchangers of high reliability. The quality of cast iron found in Biasi is recognized not only by end users, but also by experts - today many boiler manufacturers use in their products the Biasi heat exchangers developed and manufactured, producing products under their own trade marks. Thanks to this unique production, today BIASI is one of the three largest European leaders in iron casting, manufacturers of cast-iron heat exchangers and radiators.
Gas wall-mounted boilers are produced at the BSG plant in Pordenone. Today the volume of production of this plant exceeds 150 thousand gas boilers per year. When assembling gas boilers BIASI uses both own and components of a number of well-known manufacturers, but at the same time, all layout solutions are original developments of BIASI designers, and some components and schemes are patented by the know-how.
Today, the range of Biasi equipment is a diverse range of heating products, both for industrial and household use.
The range of wall-mounted gas boilers produced by BIASI is very wide - the range of possible designs covers almost the entire consumer spectrum. These are wall and floor gas boilers, single-circuit and two-circuit, with natural and forced draft, presented in a wide range of capacities and modifications. Concern Biasi produces: gas wall boilers with a capacity of 24-32 kW; Gas floor boilers with an atmospheric and fan burner with a capacity of 18 - 185 kW; condensing gas boilers with a power of 24 - 55 kW; solid fuel boilers with a capacity of 25, 32 kW; steel boilers of industrial series 105 - 4000 kW; boilers of indirect heating in volume of 150-1000 l; aluminum, steel, cast-iron radiators; decorative stone radiators and convectors; Innovative heating technologies: solar heating systems and heat pumps.
In 2008, Biasi Group decided to drastically change the strategic direction: since 2009, the concern has been promoting its equipment under the Biasi brand with the same name. As a consequence, the network of BIASI offices around the world is actively expanding. Thus, in 2009, the total turnover of Biasi Group amounted to 214 million euros.
Biasi plants produce strict quality control in the production of advanced heating technologies, which guarantees high quality of the finished products. Compliance with quality standards is a priority of BIASI, therefore strict control is provided at every stage of production.
At the Fondwer factory, where cast iron heat exchangers and radiators are produced on two production lines, the chemical composition of the iron is measured before mixing the components, hourly in the melt process, on trial castings and selectively on the finished sections. Any deviation from the acceptable values is detected, and low-quality products are withdrawn from any stage of production. Even in case of detection of product defects at the consumer, the whole batch of products is identified and responds to processing for production. Finished products also undergo a thorough check: both heat exchangers and radiators are tested at a critical pressure.
Separately it is necessary to say about checking the quality of gas boilers. After all, gas boilers, on the reliability of the work of which human security depends, so their quality requires special requirements. At Biasi enterprises, very strict quality control of production is observed, which is carried out in several stages. The first stage is the testing of components. In the preliminary stock of products, the entire batch of incoming samples is tested selectively or in its entirety. The second stage is the assembly check. With the help of automated test stands, the tightness and correctness of all connections is tested at each assembly operation. If a defect is detected (up to micro leakage of gas), the line is blocked and does not work until the detected fault is eliminated. The final stage is the inspection of finished products. Gas boilers are selectively tested in the laboratory center: they are tested in various temperature modes, at elevated pressure, in maximum power mode.
Biasi cooperates with leading organizations in the field of quality control, such as: TUV, BUREAU VERITAS, ASME, GATEX. All production processes of Biasi are certified according to ISO 9001: 2000 quality system.
