Authorized Alfagomma Distributor in Italy
Alfagomma: 70 years of Made in Italy in fluid power
Founded in 1956 in Monza by Engineer Felice Gennasio, Alfagomma is today one of the few Italian industrial groups capable of covering the entire fluid power chain: flexible hydraulic hoses, fittings and adapters, Argus-brand quick couplings, industrial rubber and PVC hoses, rigid shaped hoses, and marine hoses for Oil & Gas. The headquarters are in Vimercate (MB), with Italian plants located in Lombardy (Bellusco, Castello Brianza), Abruzzo (Teramo, Cellino Attanasio, Ortona), and Calabria (Cosenza), with a network of over 26 production sites and 90 branches in 100 countries.
The group’s technical strength is measured by three figures: hydraulic hoses with inner diameters ranging from 5 to 76 mm and fittings compliant with SAE, EN, DIN, ISO, and JIC standards up to 2,750 bar (40,000 PSI); industrial PVC pipes up to 305 mm and stainless steel corrugated pipes from –270 to +700 °C; an Oil & Gas range certified to API 7K, API 16D, and API 17K for drilling, blowout preventers, and subsea marine pipes.
In-house developed technologies such as the patented Top Coat ATC treatment—trivalent Cr-III passivation tested to ASTM B117-03 and UNI ISO 9227, over 1,000 hours of resistance to red rust – and the Argus Multi-K multi-connection system are the result of decades of co-engineering partnerships with global OEMs in the earthmoving, agricultural, and oil & gas sectors (Caterpillar, John Deere, CNH Industrial). The group is ISO 9001 certified across all facilities and ISO 14001 certified at 9 production sites.
