About Us

Our business starts with yours.

There is no truly effective standard solution. Producing high-quality sandblasting and shot-peening machines first requires in-depth understanding of the specific needs of each individual customer and the relevant sector. This is the only way to identify what is really needed and to design a complete, targeted, concrete solution. This is our job.
Our catalog is not composed of machines, but people.
When a company comes to us, the first thing we do is to ask, to investigate, to study. To understand. In order to suggest. In order to respond to a need and not just sell a standardized machine. Don’t get us wrong, we are very proud of our machines, but this is because they are the product of a unique process, each designed one by one by all of us working together. And our desire to investigate. Our desire to do more.

Innovation is born out of constant research.

The focus of our forty years of history and the “secret to our success” is our ongoing pursuit of new solutions, our desire to be constantly challenged and put all of our energy into achieving our goals. Right from the start, Norblast has distinguished itself through its approach and determination. It has grown following the desire to transform the sandblasting and shot-peening processes from simple surface treatments to true and innovative solutions to a problem. Over the years, we have established strong and lasting relationships with universities, such as the University of Bologna and the Politecnico di Milano university, as well as with various research bodies. Our great knowledge of the processes and associated logic and rules is the product of experimentation and research, alongside our strong commitment to development, application and diffusion of shot peening.

The best solution is an in-house solution

The best solution is an in-house solution. Convinced that our strength lies precisely in the commitment and focus with which we seek the perfect solution to every problem, we believe it essential to equip our company with all the tools necessary for targeted and decisive research. This is why we have created a research and development center, a software division and an internal special machines division. Daily interaction between professionals with a strong team spirit provides us with a platform to truly focus on identifying solutions and building innovation.

Those who know the processes can apply them in any field.

Knowing processes, experimenting with them, modifying them, and mastering the associated logics allows development of customized processes for each type of application and creation of value in every field. Our know-how is the starting point for the research underlying each solution. We are keenly aware that we need to maintain a broad vision, which is not only focused on the characteristics and performance of a machine, but on the field of application, the environment and the people around it. Norblast machines have so far found applications in many sectors, from Formula 1 to molding, oil & gas to alloys, and aviation to biomedical. And, as long as there are customers asking us how we can improve their processes, optimizing quality and productivity, we will continue to broaden our horizons.
