Ours Company History
Defino & Giancaspro company started operating in 1965 in Gravina in Puglia (in the province of Bari) – a town with a traditionally agricultural propensity located in the Murgia Plateau area -, thanks to a group of a young artisans and their knowledge of wheat’s production process, whose main activity at the time was the manual assembling of milling plants.
Over the years they travel through Italy and the all world manufacturing many industrial plants, even for big international corporations involved in the cereal milling industry. This enables them to acquire the right experience and to improve furthermore the qualitative level of their work.
Moved by passion for work and an increased experience, the group of artisans decided then to make a further step in quality creating in 1989 the Defino & Giancaspro s.r.l. company. Its operative headquarters was a little factory with ten employees and few machineries for the iron processing.
In the mid Nineties, the increased need for more hygiene requested in many step of the milling process leads to an augmented use of stainless steel in the manufacturing of pipes and machineries for mills.
We faced the challenge by enlarging our range of products with stainless steel parts like pipes, valves, connectors , machineries and more.
Today Defino & Giancaspro s.r.l. company is equipped with a plant of 7000 sq m on a total surface of 15000 sq m; it has more than 60 employees and cooperates with independent artisans. The plant is divided in technical divisions, each one responsible for laser cutting, folding, stainless steel, turning, assembling and so on.
Through the years the company has improved a lot achieving a high status of quality that will lead it in the near future to have a big role in the manufacturing of milling plants in the local, national and international market.
COMPANY PROFILE
Quality and sustainability are our key factors.
The company is headed by a Sole Director who coordinates all the divisions inside the plant on behalf of shareholders.
All are well aware that these different divisions must be in perfect coordination in order to achieve the main “goal”, i.e. the completion of the contract and the final customer satisfaction.
This coordination is achieved through professionals responsible for the departments’ cooperation and communication avoiding any lack of information.
Their work, as well as that of all our employees and managers, is closely based on the principles of quality and sustainability pursued for a long time by the company and got through international certifications like the UNI EN ISO 9001 (Quality Management System), 14001 (Environmental Quality System), 3834-2 (Quality Management Systems for Welding).
The company management has always paid special attention to the principles of legality in compliance with the regulations.
For this reason the Defino & Giancaspro company has also decided to become “Center of Transformation” (Italian Ministerial Decree January 14th, 2008 – Attestato di Denuncia N.601/10) and, therefore, PLANT FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF STEEL STRUCTURES.
MISSION
I “sarti” che vestono il vostro molino.
Devotion to work and awareness of the importance, even social, of their job marks anyone in our company.
The complete knowledge of the cereal industry is essential and the permanent innovation is not simply a way to better sell our products, but a real mission aimed to provide new methods for grain processing and to improve the quality of finished products.
Not surprisingly, the Defino & Giancaspro company has its roots in a land where the grain cultivation and sale, particularly the durum wheat, is one of the major revenue sources for local people, therefore a fine processing with a cutting edge technology is the basic need for the owners of local facilities.
The plant is designed and manufactured on customer needs, but always guaranteeing the state of the art of both production and assembly of our supplies.
TRAINING
Il costante perfezionamento di ogni lavoratore.
The use of new management systems and working methods inevitably means that a number of the annual working hours of all workers are spent to their training.
The company uses both external educational institutes and the internal staff for training goals.
We believe that if the employee improves, the whole company improves as well.
