The goals of these investments are to increase medium and large-scale precision machining capacity, to reduce production times, part handling and movements, to increase logistical efficiency, and to tackle projects of even greater complexity and scale.
A unique machine for our main workshop
A Pietro Carnaghi UNIMILL gantry milling machine with turning plate is currently being installed at the PEPA facilities, placing the company at the forefront of machining in Europe and worldwide:
- Travel: X axis 32,000 mm · Y axis 12,500 mm
- Distance between columns: 11,000 mm
- Maximum part height: 6,500 mm
- Turning plate/table: Ø 8,000 mm
- Maximum external turning Ø: Ø 22,000 mm
- Capacity on turntable: 200 t
- Machine weight: 900 t
To complement these capabilities, the workshop will also incorporate a new 100 t overhead crane, reinforcing the safe handling of large subassemblies and improving internal load flows.

Not all investments are dedicated to machinery…
Asturfeito on the quay
Asturfeito is building new facilities in the Port of Avilés with direct access to the quay, designed to make the supply of large equipment more efficient and to access new markets.
- Plot: 14,000 m²
- Covered area: 3000 m²
- Overhead cranes up to 200 t and a hook height of 20 m
This location eliminates size and weight restrictions on shipments and deliveries, shortens logistics times and facilitates large-scale testing and assembly. With excellent lifting capacities, this new facility will enable the execution of any project.
Belarmino Feito, President of Asturfeito:
“These investments allow us to produce larger, with greater precision and in less time. We gain competitiveness and reliability for our customers in demanding sectors. The combination of greater machining capacity, reinforced lifting and direct access to the dock will enable us to tackle more complex projects, increase our flexibility and boost our efficiency.
We are ready to reach new horizons.“
