Devices for coils and carriers Tramev produces machinery and equip ment for the metallic wire and cable sector.

The products built in its production unit in Cesana Brianza, Italy, meet European environmental standards and quality control regulations. Since 1977 the company has been producing support, rotation and motion devices for coils and carriers for wire rod and drawn wire. It has experience in drawing workshops, nuts and bolts and chain production, and can solve problems arising from unwinding, stocking and moving or transport. Tramev produces both standard and special devices, depending on the request, to improve productivity and to rationalise stocking spaces and loading of wire coils, using a wide range of machines for mechanical working and carpentry.
