Why Friggi
Four Things Worth Checking
Four claims you can check yourself.
Heavier by design
Vibration costs accuracy, speed and blade life. Our machines are engineered to eliminate cutting vibration, which optimizes blade life against speed and accuracy.
GANTRY 3500: 61,000 kg / 134,482 lb. Compare the weight column against your other quote.
Made in Italy, including the machining
Designed, machined, assembled and tested in one plant. Nothing subcontracted.
It is why tolerance holds in year three, not just at commissioning.
Built to your material
When the job falls outside the standard sizes, we build the machine around it.
5100 mm / 201 in for nuclear. 14,000 mm / 551 in for plate. Both documented.
Cut without repositioning
Rotating blade guides take vertical, horizontal, angle and radius cuts in one setup.
Took 60% out of one aerospace customer's milling time.
Cold Cutting
Why Cold Cut?
Need to cut cold due to energy restrictions or avoid heat affected zones? A bandsaw removes material without adding heat. This could be a customer requirement, a decision based on energy consumption, or simply a preference when cutting high-value materials.
- Material properties preserved. No heat-affected zone and no change to the crystalline structure — the mechanical performance you specified is the mechanical performance you get.
- Lower energy per cut than the thermal process when you need it.
- Better edge finish is very typical and can help reduce downstream machining, or remove it altogether.
- Safe in sensitive environments. No heat generation, when cold cutting is the only acceptable method — in nuclear work, for example.
- Dry cutting available, leaving no oil residue on the cut face to carry into the next operation.
See it in production
A steel producer replaced thermal cutting on 14,000 mm / 551 in special steel plate. No thermal alteration, lower energy cost, better edge finish and less post-processing.
Customers
What Our Customers Are Saying
Friggi sales and support have been great to work with. Understanding of the machine and what we do makes getting answers very simple. They work with us on every issue we have ever had regardless of the reason why it happened. We are very happy with the support we receive and thus is the reason why we currently have another Friggi machine on order.
Between pricing, lead time and general communication, Vista Metals was satisfied with the whole package — they really back their product.
We needed a saw in a short amount of time. We were faced with 6–9 month delivery with another saw manufacturer but Friggi had the piece of equipment we wanted ready to go.
Our Friggi saw is probably the most profitable machine tool in our company. The Friggi has helped us gain competitive edge but the key thing the machine does is significantly reduce our roughing hours.
Pre-manufacturing questions answered fast and customizations were easy, tailored to our exact needs. The service technician is the best field service tech we have ever dealt with across all our machines. Set up and modifications have been flawless. Responsiveness from your whole team is unmatched.

Machines / SVC
SVC
Combined vertical saw cutting both longitudinally and transversally. The rotating blade guide means both cuts happen without repositioning the material. A mobile stop inside the arch positions the material for automatic cutting and doubles as the pusher for cross cuts. All cutting and positioning movements run on brushless motors.

About
Eighty Years of Cutting Metal
Friggi has been building saws in Italy since 1947 and cutting metal with them since 1975. Friggi America has served the North American market since 2001 — the machines are Italian, the support is local.
What We Do
We design and build bandsaws for companies that cut metal in volume and cannot afford to stop. Steel, aluminum, titanium and exotic alloys. Bar, plate, block, slab, coil and ring. From a job-shop vertical to the largest gantry saw built anywhere.
Everything is engineered, machined, assembled and tested in Carugate, outside Milan. That matters more than it sounds: the castings and machined surfaces that determine whether a saw holds tolerance three years from now are made in-house, not bought in.
Friggi earns its place where the material is heavy, the alloy is difficult, the tolerance is tight, or the machine has to run unattended through the night — and where cost per cut over ten years matters more than the number on the purchase order.
History
Firsts, Not Anniversaries
A company timeline is usually a list of birthdays. This one is a list of machines nobody had built before.
Founded in Italy
The Friggi Group is founded, building saws for cutting wood.
Group
Part of the Soitaab Group
Friggi joined Soitaab in 2010. Soitaab has been designing and building metal cutting systems in Italy since 1939, and is one of very few companies anywhere that develops every major cutting technology in-house — oxyfuel, plasma, waterjet, laser and bandsaw.
For a buyer, that has one practical consequence: when the right answer to your problem is not a bandsaw, the group can say so and supply the alternative. And when a machine has to be built to spec rather than picked from a catalog, the engineering depth to do it is in the same building.

Dealer portal
Sign in
Register your opportunities, track approvals and protect your commission on every deal you bring to Friggi.
demo@dealer.com and friggi2026 to see a populated dashboard, or create an account to walk through sign-up.For the developer — what this portal needs server-side
Accounts and authentication
- Dealer accounts must be approval-gated. Self-registration creates a pending account; a Friggi administrator verifies the dealer agreement and territory before the account is activated. Do not grant portal access on sign-up alone.
- Passwords stored with a modern slow hash (bcrypt, scrypt or Argon2id) and a per-user salt. Never plaintext, never reversible encryption, never MD5/SHA-1. The demo on this page stores the password in plain JavaScript — that is a demo shortcut and must not be copied.
- Minimum 10 characters, screened against a breached-password list. Length beats forced symbol rules (NIST SP 800-63B).
- TLS everywhere, HttpOnly + Secure + SameSite session cookies, server-side session expiry, rate limiting and lockout after repeated failures.
- Offer two-factor authentication at least for Principal-role users; commission data and competitor intelligence sit behind this login.
Password recovery
- The “forgot password” response must be identical whether or not the address exists, so the form cannot be used to discover which dealers are registered.
- Reset links: single-use, cryptographically random, expiring in 30–60 minutes, invalidated when used or when a new one is issued. Never email the password itself.
- Notify the account holder by email whenever the password changes.
Lead registration rules Friggi must set
- Protection period. This demo uses 180 days. Industry guidance puts hardware and capital equipment at 180–270 days, and the window should cover the real average sales cycle. Friggi should set this against its own cycle length, and may tier it by dealer level.
- Approval SLA. Publish it and hold to it — one business day is the channel benchmark; 2–5 days is typical in hardware. A registration left silent is worse than one declined.
- Conflict rules. First valid registration wins, with a documented override where a later registrant can show genuine engagement. Territory- and account-level duplicate detection should run at submission, not after.
- Commission. The rate shown in this demo is a placeholder. Friggi sets the real rate, whether it is tiered by dealer level or deal size, and whether it is paid on order or on collection.
- Extensions. Allow a renewal request with evidence of ongoing activity, and send automated warnings before expiry.
Integration
- Submissions should create a record in whatever CRM Friggi uses, and notify the responsible regional manager by email at the moment of submission.
- Statuses set by Friggi internally must flow back to the dealer’s dashboard — a portal the dealer cannot see status in will not be used twice.
- Role-based access within a dealer account (Principal, Sales, Service) so a salesperson sees their own registrations and the principal sees the branch.
- Export to CSV, and an audit trail on every status change.
Lead registration
Register an opportunity
Registering protects your position on this customer for 180 days once approved, and puts Friggi behind you on the quotation. The more Friggi knows about the cut, the faster the right machine and the right price come back.
