Construction

 

Our founder Renzo Longhi began his entrepreneurial journey in 1974, focusing initially on mechanical erections in industrial and naval shipbuilding. Over the years, he became a prominent figure in Italy's landscape of energy production plants and petrochemical industries.

Ofmeco was established with its first production facility in 1992, aiming to meet the need for manufacturing heat exchangers and pressure vessels for new thermal power plants in Italy and the modernization of existing ones.

ASSEMBLY AND SHIPPING CRITICAL PROCESS EQUIPMENT

 

Ofmeco Heat Transfer Technology provides essential engineering support and assistance during the preliminary phases of equipment construction and Ofmeco Pressure Components conducts its activities at the WS1 plant in Soave di Porto Mantovano. The process ranges from preparation to loading onto transport vehicles for delivery.

 

The plant, approximately 10,000 square meters in size, is located within Parco del Mincio on a total area of 32,000 square meters. The large dimensions of the three bays that make up the 97-meter-long structure, with a maximum useful span of 10 meters, allow for the assembly of most of our equipment. 
However, when special logistics are required due to the size and weight, the final assembly activities are completed at the Yard in Porto Valdaro. From there, via the Fissero-Tartaro artificial canal, the constructions are transported directly by barge to Porto Levante (Venice-Marghera).
