Technical components are a fundamental part of today’s industry, and A.Piovan places great emphasis on their manufacturing to ensure quality, durability, and efficiency. Whether they are rings, spacers, slide pads, buffers, or supports, all components are crafted to the highest standards; choosing an unsuitable compound or manufacturing parts with imprecise tolerances can turn them into the weak link of the entire production line.
A.Piovan designs and manufactures custom technical products made of rubber and polyurethane, ranging from small batches to high-volume, ongoing supplies. Each component is developed based on the client's technical drawings, with the most suitable compound selected for the specific application—considering factors such as hardness, chemical resistance, thermal behavior, and non-stick or anti-static properties.
The production process ensures complex geometries, controlled surface finishes, and optimal adhesion to metal or plastic cores, where applicable. The ability to process both polyurethane and elastomeric compounds allows for the selection of the highest-performing material for any given operating condition.

Technical products examples:

  • Rings and spacers: Designed for applications where resistance to cyclic impact and long-term dimensional stability are essential requirements.
  • Complex-shaped technical components: Pads, buffers, supports, guides, and mechanical interfaces of any geometry.
  • Coated plates and sheets: Flat surfaces coated with rubber or polyurethane for applications requiring controlled grip, protection of the processed material, or vibration damping.

Why choose A.Piovan for technical products?

  • Material selected for the application: We manufacture products using both cast polyurethane and rubber (in its various compounds).
  • Precise dimensional tolerances: Each component is produced in strict accordance with the provided technical drawing.
  • From prototyping to serial production: A.Piovan supports the customer through every stage: from prototype development to serial production, whether small, medium, or large-scale.
  • A single point of contact for rubber and polyurethane: The ability to work with both materials allows for the comparison of alternative solutions and the selection of the highest-performing option, without being restricted to a single production technology.
