About Aignep
Aignep S.p.A. was founded in 1976 in Bione (Province of Brescia) as a supplier of fittings for the plumbing and heating industry and today develops and manufactures components for fluid and compressed air technology: fittings and connections, automatic quick couplings, blow guns, valves, pneumatic and electric actuators, FRL units, Fluidity-line solenoid valves and the Infinity compressed air piping system. Manufacturing comprises machining, plastic injection moulding, assembly and testing; materials are mainly nickel-plated brass (CW510L), stainless steel AISI 316L and technical plastics including PTFE. All production takes place in Italy at the Bione and Agnosine sites; sales and design are based in Agrate Brianza. The company exports to over 100 countries and operates 11 branches worldwide, including AIGNEP AG in Selzach (Switzerland). Since 2018, the company has partially covered its energy needs through a hydroelectric power plant and photovoltaic systems. In addition to standard products, customised solutions are developed in its own R&D laboratory.
