not just a company

who we are

We don't just provide standard solutions, we make custom products. Contact us and we will be glad to find the right solution for you.

Ours is a dynamic business that is constantly evolving. our success is the result of a passion for our work and a willingness to put the customer at the center.

The beginnings

The business, founded in 1985 by Stefano Bogo, a refrigeration technician at Costan in Limana after a stint in the family business, took its first steps in a garage next to his home in Castion, a small hamlet in the municipality of Belluno.

The first dividing machine was made by the entrepreneur himself, recovering and hand-assembling parts of disused machine tools.

In 1986, there was a move to a small shed, 150 metres away. Also in that year, on invitation, his colleague and friend Piergiorgio Fagherazzi joined the company. With his skills in economics and business, he enabled the company to make a quantum leap in a short time.

Piergiorgio also works at Costan as a technician: after specialising in refrigeration engineering at Itis, he is appointed by the company to organise courses for refrigeration technicians. He spends the morning equipping the area and the afternoon as a lecturer and instructor. Between the two they understand each other instantly.

The two figures, one more oriented towards the technical aspect and the other towards management dynamics, merge into an unstoppable and close-knit team.

The developments

In the 1990s, the company was transformed from a company specialising in the refrigeration sector to the exclusive production of temperature and environmental probes, focusing on quality excellence and process automation.

Which translated into numbers means having gone from about ten employees in the 150 square metre warehouse in Castions to more than fifty in today's 4,000 square metre factory.

Driven by the market and competitors to find new technological solutions, Sacet faces and overcomes challenges with uncommon determination and resilience.

Without ever giving up, sustained by an entrepreneurial spirit that puts sustainable, even if risky, design in the foreground over surviving on successful technology already acquired.

The first automated lines are built, islands and workbenches are optimised for processing requiring manual production cycles: every technological obstacle is overcome with the introduction of new know-how.

Technological milestones

Milestones in this path of innovation in the temperature control sector have been the adoption of SMD technology and co-moulding as qualifying elements of their product.

The move from discrete sensors to SMD technology enabled pick-and-place mounting of sensors on a PCB circuit. The miniaturised boards enter a fully automated process that separates them and solder them directly onto the cable, without the limitations of identifying the polarity of the sensor pad for soldering the sensor leads.

Co-moulding, or injection moulding, on the other hand, is the process by which the fusion between the cable and the sensor capsule is created: it is generated directly by melting thermoplastic material inside a mould, incorporating the PCB soldered onto the cable and the cable itself.

From this process, it is possible to make probes completely in rubber, for use in harsh environments. The technological challenge required an advancement in know-how. One problem at the beginning was how to 'lock' the sensor exactly in the centre of the capsule and prevent it from moving with the increase in pressure due to the injection of the filling material.

Sacet, Today, Tomorrow

The realisation and implementation of the co-moulding process was the Made in Italy response to the adoption of new industry standards initially developed in Japan and Korea. Technological solutions, developed in Val Belluna, that to date have no competition in terms of quality and cost.

Challenges, these, that motivated the owners and R&D department to initially identify side solutions that were replicable and therefore compatible with mass production, while respecting the quality tolerances imposed by a strict market that is built on the precision of environmental measurement.

The challenge ahead can be summed up in the concept of 'sustainability'.

For Sacet, it is not just a word, it is a concrete commitment: environment, ethics and governance.

Which support the industrial imprinting for a better future.

Custom Products

The production

We assist the customer by recommending the best available solution for the required application. The probe is designed, rendered on a data sheet, industrialised with the issue of a bill of materials and work cycle. The batch ordered is identified and tracked through production. Specific work steps are dedicated for inspection of the semi-finished product and testing of the finished product.

The warehouse

Sacet Srl produces exclusively to customer order. Materials are procured through two requirement analyses, MRP for low-rotating and Kan Ban (electronic) for high-rotating. Storage takes place in dedicated areas depending on the volumes handled, at the station and in specific supermarket warehouses for line feeding. Semi-finished product and product handling takes place with special trolleys and in boxes.

The laboratory

We have an in-house laboratory for analysing and studying products before they are placed on the market: all testing operations are tested and perfected here. Over the years, special attention has been given to investing in high-level instrumentation such as data loggers, climatic chambers, ovens, multimeters and microscopes. Our priority is to provide the best solution to your needs.

Automated production

Sacet Srl's flagship is the production of most of its catalogue items via 8 automatic lines. The lines, developed to Sacet's design, provide for the even complete construction of the finished product, with high quality standards.
