Our story
Cromsteel Italia S.r.l. was founded in 2010 near the city of Prato, a district with a strong tradition in the textile and mechanical industries, thanks to the hard work of a skilled team with a long prior experience in distributing, assembling and customizing industrial components.
In quite a short time span the owners and the staff together pushed the company forward with passion and drive. Cromsteel grew, evolved and in less than 10 years became a leading distributor in Italy for shafts for linear motion and chrome rods for hydraulic cylinders.
Meanwhile, Cromsteel decided to specialize in customizing and machining linear shafts first, and then also chrome rods for hydraulics. Now the company not only stocks and distributes materials in production lengths or cut to fixed lengths, but delivers to its customers machined parts ready for assembling in hydraulic cylinders and industrial machinery, thanks to its in-house CNC-equipped workshop.
Cromsteel has always been actively working with customers from all over the world. More than one third of our deliveries regularly reach our customers in dozens of countries in all continents, thanks to our product range and service.
In 2015 a second warehouse was acquired, thus allowing to enlarge our materials stock and also install new CNC machines for turning and drilling rods and shafts. An automatic storage facility for long products was also installed.
In 2021 we finished building a new facility where we could then consolidate all our CNC machines, creating a specialized unit for machining services.
In 2024 a brand new unit was built and is now undergoing an upgrade to become the warehouse for the hydraulics materials, with material handling, cutting and packaging.
The main building is being reconfigured to host new CNC machines, some of which will be assisted by robots.
Nowadays Cromsteel is planning further moves to become an even more structured business, and to widen the service and product range for its customers.
