Hope you will enjoy reading it!

During the last year, CGM CIGIEMME S.p.A has decided to renovate and modernize its internal R&D laboratory. This is a constantly evolving department that is useful to the company for carrying out product development and control activities, sampling, compliance analysis, and other specific Research and Development activities.

The new laboratory, inaugurated in October 2024, represents an important added value for the company in terms of the technical aspect, in order to implement the quality of the service offered to customers, using suitable instrumentation and qualified professionalism. The creation of this new facility has involved the entire company from the beginning, as each unit can benefit from laboratory analyses to enhance and accredit their work. Laboratory tests are an essential method for objectively evaluating the characteristics and performance of materials and products, to verify and certify their compliance with national, international, and individual customer standards, technical specifications, rules, and requirements, in order to enable their commercialization while consistently ensuring high quality. For this purpose, the laboratory has been equipped with state-of-the-art instrumentation for automated analyses: this allows for a reduction in work times, but above all, greater accuracy and repeatability of results.

The decision to invest in this project was made with the aim of strengthening the attention and quality that the company dedicates to non-destructive testing products: an attention to details that CGM believes makes always the difference. This commitment, which has been carried out for some time now, focuses on enhancing our resources to identify increasingly high-performing and eco-friendly raw materials, and to develop innovative products to meet the current and future needs of our customers.

Last Friday, all CGM employees gathered in the workshop at lunchtime to share a rich aperitif with hams, pizzas and other delicacies.

All of us are grateful to the Management for having promoted this beautiful moment of aggregation among colleagues, where good food was complemented by excellent company!

Of course, our deepest thanks are also extended to Martina and Ramona, who organised the whole event magnificently.

Now all that remains is to wait for the next one…!

As per the tradition, CGM brought together all its employees for the 2024 Christmas lunch. It was an excellent opportunity to summarize what has been achieved during 2024, a year in which we have been engaged in the realization of very important and challenging projects. During the year we had the opportunity to profitably participate in numerous national and international trade fairs: in addition to the usual Control and ASNT, we had the pleasure of exhibiting at 20^th World Conference on Non-Destructive Testing (WCNDT) held in Korea, and we attend for the very first time at MRO Europe.

Alongside the report of the company’s financial statements, the day was dedicated to celebrating the end of the year: we all got together for lunch in a happy and light-hearted mood, that harmonious environment that characterises our working life and has always been one of CGM’s fundamental principles.

This year also took place our traditional award ceremony for colleagues who reached 10, 20 or 30 years of militancy in the company. Another event’s highlight was the year-end lottery, with a vast selection of the prizes, where the luckiest won.

Here you can find some snapshots from the event and we wish everyone a Happy New Year!

Once again the Christmas holidays are approaching and CGM CIGIEMME S.p.A., on behalf of the Management and all its employees, would like to send best wishes for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. With the occasion, we inform you that the company will be closed from the 23th of December to the 6th of January included.

See you in 2025!

We are pleased to inform you that we have recently expanded our offer of consumables in spray version, both for magnetic particle (MT) and liquid penetrant (PT) inspection: in addition to the classic 400 ml cans – which are always available – we have added the 500 ml format for all those who need a bigger amount of product during control process. Please feel free to contact us for any requests or information.

As a complement to the consumables section of our website, we are pleased to announce the uploading of data sheets for all our PT, MT and UT products.

It is therefore possible now to consult the data sheets directly online or download comfortably in pdf format onto your computer. Under the supervision of our Laboratory Manager Lorenzo Vatri, we have revised every data sheets, making a few changes and updating the various specifications. One of the main new features is the addition of a section on the correct method of use for each product, which briefly explains how to proceed, and another in which a comparative table grouping consumables of the same family has been added to make their differences even clearer.

But that’s not all: as some of you have already noticed and experienced, we have implemented a format for requesting safety data sheets. From now on, all you have to do is fill all the fields in and send the application: we will make sure that you receive the safety data sheet as soon as possible.

We hope that our work will turn your work easier and more rapid. In conclusion: we hope this will be good news for you and, why not, useful for getting back to work in the best possible way.

Once again this year it is time for the summer break, which is helpful for everyone to recharge their batteries after a very busy and laborious first half of the year.

That’s why our offices will be closed from 12 to 23 August inclusive.

However, although we will off for a couple of weeks, our channels will remain active: any orders or requests received during this period will be taken care of when we come back.

At the moment, we only have to wish everyone a happy holiday. Whether relaxing or adventurous, at sea or in the mountains, what is important is that you come back ready to face the coming months, which promise to be busy!

One of our customers recently visited us to test our Magiscop MinicemCemsa 1000/500 equipped with two modular electromagnetic generators, one single-phase and the other three-phase, electronically controlled, and the associated demagnetisation tunnel for magnetic particle testing of aeronautical parts.

The single-phase generator, capable of delivering alternating current, HWDC and single-phase FWDC, is equipped with a special autotransformer that allows the current output to be modulated while respecting a form factor of 2.5, although ISO 9934-1-part3 requires a ratio between peak value and RMS equal to 3.

The three-phase generator, on the other hand, is dedicated to longitudinal magnetisation with core heads directly mounted on the expansions.

Furthermore, this particular bench allows even the smallest parts to be clamped between the heads by simply selecting the clamping force from the operator panel. This operation is made possible by a very pressure-sensitive electric drive.

Our technicians are now ready for installation in Serbia at the customer’s production facility, and the customer was very pleased with the final performance and the tests carried out; there is always great satisfaction on our part in seeing our customer’s requests and expectations fulfilled.
