Rubiera Special Steel
Rubiera Special Steel S.p.A. traces its roots to 1965, when it was founded as Acciaieria di Rubiera by Franco Testi in Emilia-Romagna. Early on, the company focused on high-integrity steels and in 1970 became the first Italian steelworks to adopt vacuum degassing, a process that significantly improved steel quality.
