Alutitan was established in the early Eighties as a company belonging to a group which already had a very long experience in the aluminium industry for both production and surface treatment processes. The new company expresses with pride in its own name its industrial specialization (the production of extruded aluminium profiles), as well as its belonging to the small independent State of San Marino (with Mount Titano as the Republic's worldwide known symbol and declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2008). Alutitan kept growing along the years to the present-day capacity, performed in an operational area of 20,000 square meters, of which 10,000 square meters covered.
In 2001 the entire facility was completely renovated and a new 1,800 tons extrusion press was installed. 10 years later a new billet heating furnace was installed.
An important investment on green Energy has been made installing three photovoltaic plants on the factories roofs. The plants supply approximately 400kW.
A new bench for cooling and cutting to size of profiles has been installed. A second machining centre and an automatic cutting line were purchased in the Mechanical Department. Commencement of work on a new automatic die storage warehouse. The Energy Department was incorporated into the company to sell under its own brand products and electrical energy storage systems with lithium batteries.
In 2020, the automatic die storage warehouse was completed and consolidated, and a new cutting-edge machining centre was integrated in the Mechanical Department to meet various machining requirements. In the same year, due to the emergency caused by COVID-19, the Alumask Department was launched with the aim to be self-sufficient and guarantee the supply of this commodity (surgical mask) in the Republic of San Marino.
Start-up of the second extrusion press in Italy by Tecnoal srl, a company managed and coordinated by Alutitan spa. The new plant, located in Sant ‘Ippolito (PU), covers an operating area of 38,000 m2, of which 19,000 m2 are covered. The 3,000-ton press can extrude 9-inch billets and has a production capacity of 20,000 tons per year. The main following alloys can be extruded: 6060, 6063, 6082, 6005A and 6101.
