History
“From the garage at home to the first small warehouse, without ever stopping. We went through a total of five locations, expanding the space needed to store goods as the business expanded”
From the very beginning of the business, officially opened on 15 March 1996, Cristian and Denis Scotton put to good use the skills they had gained in previous years, working as employees in local companies in the sector. In the wake of their achievements, they quickly made Tecnica Tre make important leaps forward.
1997 saw the import of the first container, unloaded by hand in the garage at home. A year later, in 1998, Tecnica Tre moved to Romano d'Ezzelino. The same year saw the purchase of the first lathe and, soon after, the arrival of the first employee. The company's guidelines were set: Cristian and Denis Scotton expanded the product range and immediately looked, with interest, beyond national borders.
At the beginning of the new millennium, Tecnica Tre made its first major investments in production equipment. Decisive is the choice to direct its machinery fleet towards CNC machines and machining centres enabling to quickly and efficiently meet the demands of the European market, expanding its catalogue with products such as flanges and fittings for the food industry.
In order to meet the new production and storage requirements, Tecnica Tre changed its location and, in 2002, moved to Pove del Grappa where it built an ad hoc warehouse in line with its more specific needs. In the meantime, the Scotton brothers' sights are still set on new horizons: the projections become global and, in the middle of the first decade of the year 2000, the company inaugurates the supply of components also for the petrochemical and chemical sectors. At the same time, the company's strategy diversifies to focus on strengthening its own production line on the one hand, and on sourcing fittings directly from markets offering good value for money on the other, to ensure a solid and continuous line of growth for the future.
The choice of diversification is confirmed in line with the market needs. But to keep up with new developments and the growing trend of the business, the need for a larger operational and sales headquarters became a priority in 2011. Tecnica Tre thus inaugurates the Cassola plant: a building already designed according to the most modern parameters in terms of efficiency and safety.
The two-year period 2012-2014 also saw strong signs of growth. The Tecnica Tre range was further expanded to include CLAMP fittings specifically for the pharmaceutical industry, followed immediately by seamless and welded pipes in accordance with ASTM/ASME A/SA312/A999, completing the offer for the chemical and petrochemical sector. A novelty, the latter, which allows the company to conquer another share of the market.
In less than five years, the space at the Cassola plant was no longer sufficient to accommodate the new Tecnica Tre numbers, so much so that in 2016 another, larger facility became an absolute necessity. The circle will come full circle in 2022, with the project taking centre stage at the inauguration in September. Tecnica Tre's new headquarters is a synthesis and expression of what is needed today to fulfil the demands of the market. In the modern facility in Bassano del Grappa, state-of-the-art technology and automation driven by the 4.0 logic take centre stage.
“Investments in technology make us more effective and efficient in meeting market demands, but it is the people, with their commitment and enthusiasm, who make the company grow every day.”
It is the people who are the real jewel in Tecnica Tre's crown: from the management team - firmly headed by the Scotton brothers - to the workers, via the technical and sales department team, the purchasing department, the logistics department, the administration department and all the warehouse staff. A staff of professionals with proven skills, ready to respond to an ever-changing market.
