Our history
ESTI is founded with the ambitious goal of becoming a “reference point” in the production of wear-resistant steel components.
1997
2001
With foresight, ESTI begins producing cast parts in collaboration with one of the most important Chinese foundries.
Expansion of the product range, ESTI begins the commercialization of thermally treated, bevelled, laminated profiles under the ESTRONG brand.
2002
2005
Thanks to the skills acquired over the years, ESTI launches the patented “SILVER” series of cast products to the market.
In respect of the beautiful environment surrounding Lake Idro (Brescia, Italy), ESTI expands its production facility to a total of 17,000m², with 9,000m² covered.
2011
2015
ESTI signs an agreement with Acciaierie Venete, a leading European producer of high-quality steel, which acquires a minority stake in the company. This agreement enables the creation of a complete production chain, unique in its kind worldwide, from scrap to the delivery of the finished product.
Growth continues: a new warehouse dedicated to the commercialization of “long blades” is inaugurated, with a new structure covering an area of 8,000m² (of which 5,000m² covered), ensuring greater material availability and faster deliveries.
2018
2020
During a very challenging year due to the global pandemic, Acciaierie Venete acquires 100% of ESTI’s shares.
The ambitious project becomes a reality: with the installation of a fully automated laser system, ESTI doubles its production capacity.
2022
2023
ESTI, highly committed to sustainability, installs a 330 kWp photovoltaic system, making it energy self-sufficient.
During the industry's most important trade fair, Bauma in Munich, ESTI presents its new patented “GOLD” series of cast products.

ESTRONG
High-quality rolled profiles
ESTRONG® is a low-carbon alloy steel with high levels of Boron, Molybdenum, and Nickel, designed to optimize mechanical properties while maintaining excellent weldability and ease of machining.
The high core hardness of the profiles is the result of an excellent chemical composition combined with deep hardening.
Silver Series
The patented SILVER system has established itself on the market for its ease of assembly, shapes designed for excellent penetration, and outstanding strength.
Gold Series
The newly developed and patented GOLD system stands out for its exceptional reliability and assembly safety, with shapes optimized for all ESTRONG profiles produced by our company.
From scrap to finished product:
our identity as a complete steel production chain.
From the management of key raw materials, through the production of long products in special steels, to ESTI’s finished products: a controlled supply chain driven by quality, sustainability, and the excellence of Made in Italy.
Through the daily commitment of our employees and collaborators, we ensure maximum reliability for those who use our products and semi-finished goods. A unique value chain, united by shared values, that begins with in-house scrap collection and selection, and the procurement of renewable energy, continues with the supply of a wide range of long products in engineering steel, and culminates, with ESTI, in the production of patented wear-resistant steel components for the earthmoving industry.

The world of Valle Zignago
To assist with conservation of a territory that is an integral part of the Group's cultural and geographical roots beyond our steel industry role, in 2020 Acciaierie Venete acquired the Valle Zignago agricultural estate, allowing us to return part of the economic value generated to our local area.
Valle Zignago is at the northern end of the Caorle valley system (Venezia), consisting of 400 hectares of wetlands, narrow sandbars (typical of the lagoon landscape), embankments and farm roads, 410 hectares of cultivated farmland and 4.5 hectares of land annexed to residential and agricultural buildings, administrated by the Olmo Immobiliare real estate agency.
The area is a nature reserve and a paragon of biodiversity, a green jewel that we manage and preserve as a symbol of the Group's commitment to nature and the surrounding community.
