News Corporate

On 1 January 2025 Elettromeccanica Altissimo is officially part of CAME, strengthening our commitment to innovation and quality.

The incorporation comes after the acquisition in January 2024 and is a unique opportunity for CAME to integrate excellence and broaden the offer for our customers under a single CAME brand, combining strong know-how with solidity and our international vision.

Our objective is to further consolidate our identity and presence on the market by enriching the range of products and services, and continuing to offer innovative custom solutions to meet the needs of all our customers.

Together, we are looking to the future with the aim of growing, innovating and offering even more added value for our customers.

In Came, the Lean project began in 2012, marking the start of a major cultural change in the company. The main focus of this transformation was to reduce waste and maximise value, with a focus on customer needs. By adopting Lean principles, we at Came have embarked on a path that involved all personnel in the various projects, with the aim of studying and implementing the best solutions.

The value for Came is customer centricity

For us at Came, the concept of value is closely linked to what customers perceive as such. Any activity or process that does not directly contribute to generating value for the customer is essentially considered to be waste, and is therefore eliminated or reduced. This vision has led us at Came to focus on customer centricity in all the activities we carry out.

Efficiency and quality, an evolutionary path in the plants

The first to benefit from this new philosophy was the winding sector, followed by the die-casting and mechanical machining sectors. Adopting the Lean methodology brought significant structural and organisational changes that helped improve production process efficiency and quality for the benefit of our customers’ products.

Extending Lean to services

In recent years, we have expanded the application of Lean principles to services, an area that is increasingly crucial for customers. The engineering departments were also involved in integrating clear, streamlined procedures, supported by strong digitalisation, such as the services available on the Came customer portal, to improve the effectiveness and transparency of the service provided to the customer.

Continuous improvement to meet customers’ new needs

Continuous improvement is a cornerstone of the Lean project in Came, not only as a methodology, but as a real cultural change. The constant search for innovative solutions to offer customers ever greater value has been consolidated over time. Today, Came promotes a process of continuous improvement through independent meetings, KPI analysis and reporting management in order to respond proactively to customer needs.

The Lean project has allowed us at Came to optimise processes, improve service quality and put the customer at the centre of every action, creating a virtuous cycle that generates constant and lasting value.

Came, a European leader in electric motor windings, recently acquired Elettromeccanica Altissimo – a strategic move to offer a range of special products that can be made by hand. This acquisition represents a significant step in expanding the skills and solutions available for a wide range of applications.

 
DISCOVER OUR SPECIAL HANDMADE WINDINGS 

Expansion of the special product range

With almost fifty years of experience in the field of handmade windings, Elettromeccanica Altissimo has always aimed to expand the range of special products it offers its customers. Now, after being integrated into Came, this consolidated experience has become part of a wider range of products. Came can now work on stators of varying sizes, with outside diameters from 55 mm to 370 mm and heights up to 350 mm, regardless of whether the pack is round or square. This versatility in size also makes it possible to meet non-standard requirements, in addition to those of the MEC series.

Versatility and multiple applications

We are able to make windings with varying numbers of poles, from 2 to 12, to cover a wide range in the panorama of electric motor windings. This know-how also extends to other sectors, such as alternators, gate openers and low-voltage motors, as well as special motors for lifts, actuators, gear motors and alternators. Operational flexibility makes it possible to offer customized, high-quality solutions that effectively respond to the specific needs of each sector.

High-quality insulating materials

One of the most important aspects of special handmade windings is the use of high-quality insulating materials. Different types of insulating materials are used, such as Nomex Mylar, Nomex-Mylar-Nomex 50 and 80 μm, and Nomex T410 for the highest thermal classes. This choice greatly expands the range of products on offer, while ensuring motors and other electrical devices are highly reliable and durable.

Advanced insulation for top performance

When winding by hand, we use class F or H tape and then add a suitable separator to guarantee extremely effective phase-to-phase insulation. This process is crucial for motors that undergo testing, especially partial discharge testing because it ensures top performance and reduces the risk of failure.

Thanks to a strongly specialized plant and team, Came is now able to offer handmade products while ensuring quality, reliability and innovation. This integration represents significant added value for customers, which can count on a team of 30 highly qualified people who are able to tackle the most complex challenges, and offer tailor-made solutions and excellent service.

For more information, please contact consulting@came-italy.com or call +39 0444 488282.

Again this year, we at Came will attend Coiltech Pordenone 2024 on 18 and 19 September 2024. Coiltech is the key event in the electric motor, transformer and generator design, production and maintenance fields. After the success of the previous editions, we are excited to present you with our latest innovations and services to make your business even more competitive.

You can discuss the 2024 news with us at our stand, B20 in Hall 5, including the feasibility service to ensure efficiency right from the initial project stages to reduce construction times and costs, and the benefits arising from our acquisition of Elettromeccanica Altissimo.

The Came team expanded when Gianluca Pegoraro joined as technical director. We interviewed Gianluca on the topics of personal development, technical development and innovation, with particular attention to the goal of unifying and optimizing team processes.

What is your experience as a technical director?

In the early 2000s, I started managing the engineering department at an electromechanical company in Vicenza that manufactures power components for use in the electro-technical field. I founded the engineering department in another Italian company, where – after it was acquired by a Japanese corporation – I integrated the engineering departments of the group companies.
The expertise I developed helped me to dialogue and work in synergy with the teams of companies in the same sector, but with very different configurations.
Over the years, I have gained experience as a project manager in multinationals, where I managed multidisciplinary teams made up of top management members.

What responsibilities do you have as the technical director in Came?

At Came, I work to create a single engineering department by unifying management methodologies and pushing for synergy between the engineering teams (R&D, winding engineering department and die-casting engineering department).
After a year, we already have people working transversally across the three teams. We have developed some projects that involved R&D for design, the winding engineering department for the coding part and the die-casting engineering department for the mechanical part.
My job and responsibility also consists of keeping the team motivated and providing training to ensure that the entire team continuously improves.

What is the advantage of having a role to unify the Came teams?

Having a role to unify the teams offers four primary advantages:
– Being able to manage projects that involve the teams, thereby having a single internal/external interlocutor for the activities
– Faster project throughput as distances are shortened
– Knowing how to use the same procedures to manage processes in the engineering department
– Sharing information among teams and encouraging continuous training

What are the long-term innovation targets in Came?

Came is focusing a lot on customer services. Therefore, from a technical perspective, it is essential for our R&D to be up-to-date on technological development and changes in the regulatory framework.
As an engineering department, we want to be ahead of the trend to offer our customers innovative solutions with an eye on costs and savings.
With this in mind, we are working with universities and trade associations to be constantly informed and in a continuous dialogue.

For more information, please contact consulting@came-italy.com or call +39 0444 488282.

Through these five pillars, we at Came aim to demonstrate our commitment to innovation and a more sustainable future that will strengthen our position as a leader in die casting and winding for electric motors.

Focussing on Quality and Safety

We strive to maintain high quality, health, safety and environmental standards on a daily basis, to meet the stringent demands of our customers, to improve the well-being of our teams and protect the surrounding environment. We adopt strict practices to ensure that every process and product complies with stringent regulations, aiming for a positive impact both inside and outside the company.

Towards a zero-emission future

In the area of sustainability, we are dedicated to continuously searching for clean energy sources to support our operations. The large surface areas of our plants host photovoltaic panels that produce approximately 566.2 kW of power.

We are exploring solutions such as reusing the heat generated by production plants to heat work areas, optimizing the use of resources and reducing our ecological footprint. These initiatives represent the concrete steps we at Came are taking toward the goal of significantly reducing our carbon footprint by aiming to use technologies that pollute less and are more sustainable .

Circular economy: recycling and reuse

We are geared toward the circular economy, especially with regard to production waste disposal and recycling. We employ innovative methods to reuse or recycle any residual production material in order to minimize waste and maximize resource efficiency.

Customer centricity

Customer centricity is a key pillar for us. We are committed to providing custom and co-designed solutions that effectively and efficiently meet the customer’s specific needs. This approach not only strengthens the relationship of trust with our customers, but also drives continuous improvement in the products and services we offer.

Innovation in research and development

Innovation is the driving force behind our research and development into new analysis and control methods. Investing significantly in R&D allows us to stay ahead of market needs and future challenges, and to develop advanced electric motor technologies to ensure technological leadership in the market.

These 5 pillars define our short- and long-term strategy and give our customers a guarantee of state-of-the-art services and products together with respect for the environment and people.

Compliance with European energy efficiency regulations has significantly influenced the design and performance of industrial products, especially in the electric motor sector.

We at Came are at the heart of this radical transformation, which is driven by increasing demand for sustainability and efficiency dictated by the EU and has influenced electric motor design.

Through its services, Came can offer the optimal electric motor design solution in terms of performance and production costs for each of the current and future regulations:

Three-phase windings

Initially, efficiency regulations applied to three-phase motors, which have been completely redesigned to meet the required IE3 standards. This process involved a comprehensive review of dimensions and component configurations to optimize energy consumption and reduce environmental impact.

Single-phase windings

Recently, the introduction of efficiency class IE2 (IEC 61800-9) for single-phase motors followed a similar path. These motors are undergoing significant changes in size and performance, reflecting our ongoing commitment to innovation and sustainability. The aim is clearly to minimize energy consumption and maximize operating efficiency.

The new IE4 standard

With EU Regulation 2019/1781, three-phase motors with powers under 75 kW will have to adhere to efficiency class IE4 in the European market, making the EU the first market to impose this standard for certain motor types.

The IE4 standard will in some cases lead to significant design choices with the introduction of permanent magnet and/or reluctance rotors in synchronous motors. This is to the detriment of asynchronous motors, which will not always be able to achieve these efficiency levels.

Stay ahead of the regulations

By upgrading motors early, our customers will be ready for the market while benefiting from long-term energy savings, which is essential given the importance of energy costs in the overall life cycle of electric motors.

In this sense, Came is already ready to respond to any request to improve the efficiency of our customers’ products.

This year on 20 and 21 September 2023 we will attend the Coiltech Pordenone 2023 trade fair dedicated to the coil winding industry in Italy. At our stand we will present news about our products and services, including:

– The Came cost saving service for electric motors

– The benefits of producing motors without using rare earth elements

– The service for optimising wound stators

At our stand, Stand B20 in Hall 5, you will also find news about the production of Brushless Direct Current windings and asynchronous windings.

On 21 September we will also be taking part with SPIN at the technical-scientific World Magnetic Conference organised by Coiltech, which covers the topic “Distributed winding vs concentrated winding: New technologies and design choices”.

We will be happy to offer you the best solution for your business.

In the meantime, we recommend that you read all the technical and update articles in the Came news.

Came puts great weight on a sense of corporate belonging and sharing information among the corporate population.

We want each of our employees to feel part of the great Came team.

Therefore, following a request from staff during the 2021 corporate climate review, we decided to organise regular meetings with staff to share company issues that are considered important at the time.

The moment of sharing we conceived creates a direct channel of communication between Owners, General Management, Management and the entire corporate population, where we talk about business strategy, projects involving part or all of the company and its national and international reference context.

We organised the first round of meetings with the staff just before the summer break, on July 21 and 28, at the Parish Theatre in San Pietro Mussolino.

In over an hour, we discussed topics such as the socio-economic context in which Came operates today, the importance of compliance with occupational safety and environmental regulations, the results of business climate analysis, the new Came brand, and business strategies for the future.

The meeting was well received by the staff who attended, with very positive feedback on how these kinds of meetings are useful and functional.

Came now has almost 360 employees and is structuring itself as a large company. Without such a moment, we risk losing the closeness the Owners and Management have with the company population and, above all, reducing the flow of information about business performance and the innovations introduced.

For Came, being a team is a great source of pride and underpins so much that we do every day.

This appointment, which will become a habitual part of annual corporate life, will always go in this direction, with the aim of making our employees increasingly aware of the corporate context in which they live every day.

Through its organizational structure and know-how built up over 45 years of experience with the various production businesses among its customers, Came can provide some very useful services to optimize the times and costs of supplying electric motor components.

One of these is without doubt that of  prime contractor.

Through this service, a customer can entrust Came with managing the complete supply of all essential electric motor components.
A good example of this is provided by one of our customers, a leading company in the gearmotor sector in an international group.

As is often the case, this project was the result of a customer need. The customer had indicated that it needed to entrust procurement of the various components in its product to a single supplier, for three main reasons:

• To concentrate procurement of multiple components from many suppliers on one, with clear benefits in timing and ease of interfacing
• To entrust the burden of procurement to a financially reliable partner able to purchase a range of components from several suppliers and then supply them to a single customer
• To concentrate its efforts on manufacturing and selling its motors

 
Therefore, based on the Came team’s professionalism in defining prices and supply chains, the customer passed the agreements with the various stamping plants and shaft manufacturers to Came.
Came can deal for the customer not only with the winding, where it is the leading European manufacturer, but also with production of die-cast aluminium components as casings, shields, flanges, terminal board covers.

Last but not least among the things that make up Came’s prime contractor service, is inserting the wound stators into the casings.

To complete the list of services associated with the role of prime contractor, there is the Came logistics service, which allows us to produce the product in advance and deliver it when the customer sends the purchase order.

It is clear why the customer has entrusted implementation of these elements, whether they be products or services, to Came: our company can guarantee an all-round supply to the final customer, exploiting our professionalism and experience to simplify the customer’s life.

The international market poses a significant challenge to companies in relation to competitiveness. This makes it necessary to implement a business strategy oriented towards innovation and internationalisation of skills.

Came will not be caught off guard and has prepared an annual training plan that is in line with the main market trends. In fact, the company is always ready to meet market challenges, and innovation and internationalisation are at the core of the 2022 training strategy.

Digital innovation means integrating increasingly advanced computer systems into our work, and training personnel on these systems is the basis for using them correctly and making the most of all their available features and potential. At the same time, Came is investing in innovating working processes by analysing where operating flows can be updated and improved, and identifying which methodologies and tools are the most appropriate to adopt.

Regarding internationalisation, training courses on international managerial skills and language training are planned for 2022. Specifically, Came will invest in the language skills of its personnel on a large scale, with particular focus on the resources who communicate with our international customers and suppliers on a daily basis. The investment will not be limited to English, but in some cases language skills in German and Spanish will also be enhanced.

There will also be continuous training to update work-related expertise, especially with a view to inter-departmental interchangeability within the company, and training on the Safety, Environment and Quality management systems used in the company.
Came’s focus on the quality of its products and customer service remains a cornerstone for which there is always investment in external training and internal support.

We want to thank you for visiting us at our stand during the Euroguss 2022 fair.

As you can see from the video above, Euroguss was an important moment to meet new customers and compare ourselves with the market trend at the most important Die-Casting fair in Europe.

This year we had the opportunity to present the improvements of our plant and the goals achieved through compliance with IATF 16949 to provide more services to our customers.

For any inquiries relating to Came services and the production of components for die casting for third parties, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Help each other and respect each other, be a team, meet challenges for the good of the company and our customers.

I’m starting this article with what in my opinion is one of Came’s most important values, which represents the human value of our company more than any other: collaboration and group spirit.

The current historical period puts us under strain and stress every day, and risks pushing us toward individualism, loneliness and selfishness. We at Came believe that the team adds value to achieve any goal and grow continually in the market.

Why did Came decide to focus on the team?  What are the benefits?

• Teamwork allows a continuous exchange of information, knowledge and expertise.
• Circular expertise is a key aspect in measuring the value of any company.
• At Came, there are frequent moments in which company departments and the different roles within them can share and align with each other.
• Comparing ideas and points of view helps identify the best solutions to problems so that the team can implement them much faster and more effectively. It also allows the decisions taken to be shared, resulting in greater professional motivation.

 
With circular expertise and sharing of ideas, we accomplish projects and developments that are more complete, richer and of greater strategic value.

The awareness of being a competent and close team is fundamental. Extending individual responsibilities to the whole team and distributing activities in a clear and homogeneous manner reduces our working pressure and allows us to efficiently and effectively achieve company goals.

The mission of creating a lasting relationship of trust and partnership with our customers is primarily pursued internally by maintaining and developing a relationship of trust between colleagues and between departments. The resulting internal partnership is the reason why none of us in Came feel alone, but part of a winning team, ready to face the challenges that await us in our future together.

In 2020, a global leader in the construction of hydraulic pumps asked Came to design a new type of winding for a high-efficiency pump with stringent tolerance, CSR and technical specification requirements.

The project took all of Came’s experience and know-how in the combination of die casting and winding to solve the technical challenge of an innovative and complex product.

During its two years, the project required a strong focus on designing the die casting for the Mec 90-112-132 motor sizes, for which 4 die castings and 9 different windings had to be designed while combining the design requirements with Came’s production needs.

The whole Came team was involved in close collaboration with the client’s team, working with continual technical alignments. The project required real integration between the two companies as the teams had to follow the detailed project Gantt chart.

We offered the client an innovative insulation sealing process, which included the use of new foam technology to optimize product assembly and reduce production costs.

Came’s role was also that of project leader, with the management of the wound stator supply and the various external phases needed to obtain the finished assembly.

Here we summarise the benefits that the client gained from working with Came:
– Complete technical consultancy
– Reliable dedicated work team
– Co-design of die castings and windings
– Smaller supply chain
– Product cost savings

The synergy between Came and the client was a success and demonstrates that teamwork, values and know-how are necessary to achieve significant results.

At Came we focus on sustainability in two main directions:

1) Our products and services help our customers transition to sustainable products by adopting electric motors over fossil-fuel alternatives. We support this by offering a wide range of flexible co-innovation services that can be adapted to any customer. The more flexible we are, the more we support the energy transition.

2) Our activities improve continuously because sustainability is not something we can achieve immediately, but is a constant process made up of numerous interlinked steps.

Our efforts for operational sustainability

For several years we have adopted a strategy of continuous innovation and investment in critical areas, but this will be strengthened in the near future.

We will make significant investments in two large areas:
1) Updating machinery,
2) Environmental impact management and reduction (waste reduction, water recovery, photovoltaic expansion).

We need to make these efforts to become increasingly eco-sustainable.

We also work hard to create a sustainability culture among employees, customers, communities and the public administration through open and transparent communication.

That is how we can discover and solve challenges quickly and stay ahead of the curve.

A practical example is our collaboration with one customer, a world leader in hydraulic pump production, through the ECOVADIS Sustainability project of which we are a partner and through which we analysed our company’s level of sustainability.

We will also attain ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 certification by the end of June 2022, both of which are important in relation to Total Sustainability.

Overall, sustainability is a strategic goal for us, our customers, our team and our community. To achieve it, we need to invest continuously so that we can innovate and collaborate.

The Came Customer Service department also follows the same philosophy of customised consulting. Its reference people are continually connected to the Came Sales Team, with the aim of giving customers a continuous customised service.

The Came team wishes you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2022.

2021 was a year of great goals, investments and changes for Came, and among these we want to remember the most significant:

– The expansion of our Die-Casting plant leading to improved delivery speed and operational flexibility
– The launch of new R&D services with numerous benefits for our customers
– Compliance with the IATF 16949 management system which allowed Came to enter the automotive world

For 2022 we want to go beyond these goals, always guided by our values of customer care, innovation, and sustainability.

We wish you happy holidays by reminding you that we will close from Thursday 23 December 2021 until Monday 3 January 2022.

We are going through a period of profound change in the electric motor market, driven by continuous change in global market conditions, advancing innovation and the increasing importance of sustainability at all levels.

Compared to the past, each company in the production chain has to respond to the next in line with increasing product and service quality.

This all requires investment in know-how, production and process digitalisation in order to optimise the end result in terms of effectiveness and efficiency. All players in the supply chain are expected to specialise their own processes in order to output not just a product but a solution.

In addition to being a change at an organisational and process level, it is really a change at a cultural level, which involves the whole company and starts from the desire to excel in providing the customer with added value created through optimising the resources in the Came – customer supply chain.

This idea has led us to embark on a partnership with many of our customers, and thereby develop a range of useful services to allow them to focus on activities with greater added value, optimising the final output through combining the resources of both partners more fruitfully.

This mutual exchange process has brought product innovation, an exchange of knowledge, cost rationalisation and efficiency, transforming our organisation and our mindset towards a “customer-centric” business approach.

For windings and die-casting co-design, our R&D services are designed to provide the know-how we have gained through over 40 years of experience, and production of 23,000 windings and 35,000 die-castings per day.

Every customer can count on the availability of a team of specialist technicians to carry out technical testing in order to improve end product efficiency.

We provide procurement and logistics support including purchasing raw materials and components and integrating the supply chain with consignment stock. We also provide digital tools to share all useful information for order management in real time with reserved access to the Came Portal.

Our solution is an integrated service from design and creation of die-castings and windings, through component procurement, assembly, warehouse management, up to logistics.

Came has experienced continuously increasing demand for services since 2020, reflecting the importance of supply chain partnerships in achieving common market goals.

With the intention of developing a highly customer-oriented management system aimed at continuous improvement by emphasizing defect prevention and reduction of variation and waste in the supply chain, in 2021 we obtained the Letter of Conformance with the IATF 16949 Management System.

The IATF standard requires quality management to include all production and support departments . The audit took days and covered all of the processes and departments in Came Die-casting, including but not limited to procurement, customer service, IT, human resources, planning, design and development processes, production, purchasing, quality, logistics, management, sales, environment, and safety.

To obtain conformance, we had to undertake significant work in both documentation and risk analysis, including process
mapping, procedure drafting, operating instructions, records, audits, and field validation.

The following core tools were applied during process development:
– APQP (Advanced Product Quality Planning)
– PPAP (Production Part Approval Process)
– FMEA (Failure Mode and Effect Analysis)
– SPC (Statistical Process Control)
– MSA (Measurement Systems Analysis)

We have exceeded the strict requirements that must be fulfilled to achieve certification, which has allowed us at Came Die-casting to improve our processes and the quality of the products we supply to our customers.

Conformance with the IATF 16949 management system attests to Came's commitment to provide our customers with the values in which we believe, continual innovation, reliability, flexibility, and teamwork.

We have redesigned the new layout of the Came Die-Casting plant to support our customers’ needs: delivery speed and operational flexibility.

In expanding the plant, we have prioritised the logistics aspect to speed up loading and unloading and improve operational efficiency. To do this, we expanded and improved the die storage and maintenance part to increase operational flexibility and provide an ad-hoc die management service.

With this new layout, we have two next-generation 4.0 smelting furnaces that allow us to manage multiple alloys efficiently and increase production capacity.
We have distributed the press areas with robots to improve product unloading automation and make it easier to recover production waste with a focus on sustainability.

We have achieved the goals we set ourselves in 2020 and, for 2022, we want to achieve new sustainability goals for our human and production processes.
