Costacurta S.p.A.-VICO

Costacurta S.p.A.-VICO is an Italian company founded in 1921 and specialized in the design and manufacture of metal components for industry and architecture, serving markets worldwide. Sales offices and headquarters are in Milan (Italy) while the two factories (with a covered area of around 40,000m2) are located in the province of Lecco, approximately 50 km northeast of Milan (Italy). Our entire product portfolio originates from wire and plates. Wire mesh, a purely industrial product, becomes a resource for architecture and design, capable of adapting to the creative imagination of the designer. This is ARCHI-NET®, an intertwinement of metal wires, or wires and ropes, obtained by weaving or by linking together wire spirals. ARCHI-NET® is used in exterior architecture and in interior design as an aesthetic or functional element. ARCHI-NET®: •can be produced with different metals (stainless steel, iron, bronze, brass and copper) •is available in multiple configurations thanks to the possibility of using a wide range of wires and rope •can be customized in terms of colouring, glazing, polishing, tarnishing •is custom-made. A project that can express ARCHI-NET®’s full potential requires designers, engineers and technicians who can master the product. This know-how is essential to meet the requirements of customers. Service and assistance to customers are the values which truly distinguish ARCHI-NET®. Our quality means: Resistance. Upon raw material reception, samples of the wires and ropes are analysed in the laboratory by means of specific tests in order to verify their mechanical characteristics. Colour homogeneity. The raw material comes from the same casting in order to guarantee homogenous colours and shades. Geometry. The respect of geometric characteristics (distance, diameter, section) guarantees the structural uniformity of the final product. Flatness. Specific production techniques such as pre-straightening wire in weft or flattening contribute to achieving excellent levels of flatness in our products. Accurate welding. Where present, welding is performed by qualified welders and verified through appropriate tests. Cleaning. Ultrasonic washing facilities cleanse the product to ensure the best level of cleanliness. For a superior polish, electro-polishing may be carried out on request. Suitable packaging. This ensures product integrity for long periods of time both during transport and on-site handling.
