CREATIONS BORN FROM EXPERIENCE

AMV is a company whose origins lie firmly with its founder, Visino Marin. A pioneer of technological cookware forged with superior innovation and design and over 40 years of experience in the field. Prompted by an early passion for mechanics, he decided to follow his dream and invest in a variety of technologies for tooling, moulds and dies.

Visino Marin grasped the potential of cold forging early on. He applied the technique to iron before inspiration struck with aluminium, which proved perfect for pressing pots and pans: it would prove to be his greatest innovation. He took the leap and bought a 1600-tonne Kieserling press from a scrap dealer and had it reconditioned for making aluminium discs. It was a gamble, but it soon paid off.
Visino Marin is a tireless visionary, inventor, innovator and designer. Over the years he has developed technologies, models and filed patents that oriented the global cookware industry. By putting his tooling services at the disposal of the world’s biggest manufacturers, he has transformed AMV, a proud family company, into a technology and design leader. From local roots to a global operation, it has joined the ranks of Italy’s most successful manufacturers.

FORGING

Aluminium is an outstanding heat conductor (it quickly reaches high temperatures and distributes heat more evenly). Lightweight and practical, it is also easy to recycle.
Cold forging also guarantees the utmost purity (certified up to 98%) and prevents highly toxic, potentially carcinogenic bubbles from forming. The lifespan of the moulds is up to 50 times longer, and ensures no harmful substances and fumes are released into the atmosphere.
Cold forging is infinitely better for the environment, and AMV has always promoted eco-sustainability in its production processes. It is an approach that also extends to management of the company and employees, ensuring environmental safeguards always come first.
AMV has channelled this passion into cookware, an essential element of everyday life. Over time its cookware has been refined, making it even more user-friendly for award-winning chefs and home cooks alike. Its performance has been honed thanks to Visino Marin’s innate ability to develop cutting-edge solutions.
