50th Anniversary Event

VTN Europe – June 24th 2023 – 50th Anniversary Event.

50 years of activity for a company is an important milestone that VTN Europe celebrated on June 24th at their premises in Sovizzo and Villa Curti.

50esimo anniversario di VTN Europe

It was a day of celebration for the owners, numerous employees, collaborators, clients, suppliers, and officials who attended the event.

This anniversary is a source of pride for our territory and its economic fabric, providing prosperity, jobs, and a focus on social welfare and collaboration with institutions. Congratulations to Doris Lunardi Vaccaro, her children Matteo, Elisa, and Antonio, and all their collaborators, with a special thought for Nerio, the founder of VTN.

At the Company

A warm day in late June welcomed the many guests to VTN’s 50th-anniversary celebration, which started in the main plant in Cagnano di Pojana Maggiore, specially set up as an auditorium for the occasion. It was a gathering for employees, Italian and foreign suppliers, and clients who constitute the fabric of this company founded by Nerio Vaccaro (who passed away prematurely in 2011) and carried on by his wife Doris Lunardi and their children Elisa, Matteo, and Antonio. Among the attending officials were regional councilor Marco Zecchinato, who presented a recognition from the Veneto Region to Mrs. Doris, as well as the mayors of Noventa, Mattia Veronese, and Pojana, Paola Fortuna, and Luca Zoppelletto, President of the Eastern-Vicentine group of Vicenza Confindustria Association, who highlighted that “50% of the industries in Vicenza are in the metalworking sector.”

The event began with a letter from the President of Veneto Region, Luca Zaia, congratulating them on reaching this milestone. Doris Lunardi and the CEO Giancarlo Favaro then took the floor, retracing the history of VTN, with its successes, experiments, and challenging moments, always believing in their reality and those who work there. Paola Fortuna, also a teacher at ITC Masotto in Noventa, recalled how VTN was among the first companies to believe in the early experiments of school-work alternation, concluding with a touching memory of Nerio Vaccaro by Mattia Veronese: “Remember that I started from a garage.”

The Factory Tour

Facilities guided tours divided into different groups of people were led by VTN Employees later in the afternoon.

The staff explained the various stages of production to the audience. Everything was properly showcased, from order arrivals to initial processing, welding, finishing, painting, warehousing, and equipment repair; all of this in a series of clean and orderly environments.

The Celebration at Villa Curti

The festivities continued in the evening with a dinner at the 16th-century Villa Curti in Sovizzo, where guests were welcomed by stilt walkers and whimsically costumed performers, as well as an all-female string quartet, which entertained with classical repertoire. Preceded by a buffet in the villa’s park, the dinner took place under the arches with over 200 people.

The cutting of the cake marked the end of the dinner, preceded by thanks from Doris Lunardi and her family, and accompanied by an evocative video that retraced the company’s history, reaffirming the motto “Thinking out of the box.”

The celebration concluded with a performance by professional dancers to the tune of “Nessun dorma” from Turandot, followed by fireworks and a DJ set that kept the guests dancing until the late hours.

VTN celebrates 50 years of activity

This year, VTN will be celebrating a significant milestone: 50 years of activity in the world of earthmoving and demolition equipment. VTN in 2023 is a solid company, projected towards the challenges of the future. A well-established reality in Italy, with commercial branches on all five continents. A company at the forefront of mechanical design, with an important and efficient technical and design office that uses the most sophisticated tools for design, analysis and prototyping. Similarly, the workshop is equipped with a laboratory and a mechanical processing department that is constantly updated with the most advanced machinery for turning, milling, and all machining to the tenth and hundredth of a millimeter. Solutions to speed up and automate production processes and achieve greater precision during assembly.

It all began 50 years ago, on March 20, 1973, thanks to the co-founders of VTN, Nerio Vaccaro and Doris Lunardi, who created a company in which, to use the words of current President Doris Lunardi, “quality, honesty, and a different way of working from the standards of a multinational corporation are recognized. A reality in which everyone puts in their effort to achieve a single result.” A story that has benefited from the essential contribution of Nerio Vaccaro, the authentic inspiration behind VTN, who unfortunately passed away too soon but left behind an important legacy.

“If his genius is difficult to imitate,” say Nerio’s children, “we want to continue his attention to the human aspect and his willingness to create excellent products, doing our best without settling for less.”

Happy Birthday VTN.

Demolition Line with Booster – NEW PLUS LINE

Discover our new Demolition Line with Booster: PLUS LINE.

When a product works his evolution is almost obvious. This is what happened in VTN, and was to be expected, with the Plus line.

After the presentation of its first model at the last Bauma exhibition, the Combi Kit Plus CK22+, the manufacturing company located in Veneto, besides the wide range of products for recycling and handling, has introduced for the first time in italy his new line Plus complete with all models.

A new line with very high performance of demolition tools equipped with Booster.

The booster is a system that allows to increase the power of the hydraulic cylinder by raising the inner pressure of use compared to the imput pressure.

In the work cycle, during the closing phase of the jaw, the device automatically starts working as the requested force raises, by increasing the pressure supplied by the operating machine according to the booster ratio.

This offers a lot of advantages:

-increased cutting and crushing strength

-faster work cycles

-optimal use of the operating machine

-reduction of fuel consumption

-lower environmental impact

-higher productivity

VTN Staff looks forward to explain to all operators in this sector the technical specifications of the new tools. All specifications are characterized by a very high quality that has always been the winning peculiarity of VTN.

The new complete VTN Plus Line should have been presented at Samoter exhibition.

For the moment we anticipate you that the Plus Line is composed of 4 products ranges (HP, VF, FP, CK) splitted in 12 models.

BAUMA 2019: THE GREATEST AND THE MOST BEAUTIFUL EVER

It was challenging, but we knew it and we had prepared for it.

We were hoping for a good response but without remaining disappointed.

Now we can say it without hiding anymore: it was a success for VTN, indeed a great success and we are proud of it.

From the first to the last day we were overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of our dealers and importers, the sympathy and loyalty of our customers,

and above all by the interest of those who first knew VTN only through social media or hearsay.

Thank you all.

Thanks to those who believe in our glorious brand and to the people who represent it;

thanks to the VTN staff who, as always, have made themselves available to all visitors with courtesy and competence; thanks to the catering service for the impeccable attention and delicacy in offering its specialties to guests;

and thanks to our Ownership for having once again invested in a welcoming stand with a family spirit.

See you at BAUMA 2022!

Sure we still have margin to improve thanks to the hard-work.
Confident It will always be the showcase where to exhibit VTN models best collections.

A Different Way – New Branding

Successes and achievements should be celebrated, especially when they demonstrate tangibly people, values, commitment and dedication.

45 years of activity have a specific weight and thickness. The double figure inspires respect and invites reflection.

In the epoch of everything and immediately, today there are and tomorrow we will see, who is able to assert itself, resist and stand out for almost half a century has undoubtedly a march more.

What is the secret of the success of VTN, a leading Vicenza-based company in the construction equipment industry, founded in 1973 by Nerio Vaccaro? The answer is simple, but far from obvious.

 

Because it’s true: successes and goals deserve to be celebrated, but they must above all represent a push forward, an opportunity to set themselves new goals. The goal is never the arrival, but always a new departure. Visually it is a sort of precious milestone set along the road, to mark the step of what has been done and show us the path that remains to be travelled. The strength of those who have already built their own solid role on the world scene – and is recognized as a reference model in the sector – is precisely this: not considering ever arrived, do not stop at the acquired results, always have the desire and the need to change, to innovate, to explore new terrain. VTN today more than ever there is. And she is ready to collect her umpteenth challenge. For its 45 years, in addition to the candles on the cake, it has made a significant gift: at the international fair in Paris, INTERMAT, is presented with a new logo and a fascinating commitment, declined in three simple words: a different way.

A motto, an invitation written in clear letters under the company code.

A watershed between past, present and future.

We can read it as we prefer, but for VTN it is almost a warning that the company turns to itself, not to forget the vocation for change.

Strong of that there, ready to do even more (in the ears of many still resounds the old payoff that accompanied the previous logo: make more), but in a different perspective.

It is perhaps only a matter of accents, of priorities: not so much the quantum, but rather the how.

Different today, in the company, there are the approach, the involvement, the desire to question a second generation that collects the values ​​of the predecessors and animates them with new life.

Changing means listening, welcoming, accepting, transforming, renewing.

To change means to be receptive, flexible, available.

 

Changing means above all opening: to new possibilities, new solutions, new research, new countries and new markets in which to be close and present.All this without ever betraying your own story.A story made of unique models signed VTN, of high technical and quality level, appreciated because able to meet all the needs of the shipyard.

A range of products that stands out from any other, for the care and attention to detail, the quality of workmanship, the excellence of the after-sales service.But today’s story is tinged again: because diversity – of approach and thought – means strength.

Diversity is a quality that must be protected, preserved and lived for what it is: a value.

So happy birthday, VTN! And still a hundred of these days!

One Idea, More Solutions

“One idea, more solutions”

“MULTIPURPOSE” is the adjective that has inspired VTN Europe for the development and design of the NEW Combi Kit multi-tool; thanks to its innovative features, this attachment meets the largest variety of complex demolition requirements. Engineered in detail it is particularly suitable for:

  • Specialized Demolition Contractors who are always focused on safety, efficiency and productivity on their jobsites.
  • Hire Companies who are focused on the demolition market offering different solutions based on their customer needs.
  • The operator who searches in only one equipment the “synthesis” of various activities.
    The NEW Combi Kit is Multipurpose because it enables you to do any type of demolition:

 

  • Primary, to bring down a building and remove the materials, either concrete or steel constructions, or a combination of the both.
  • Secondary, to separate and-or reduce into smaller fragments what has already been demolished facilitating the next phase of handling and transport.
  • Selective, where it is necessary to extract and recover “precious” elements or components or for the reclamation in areas of high environmental impact where the presence of toxic, flammable and polluted material is high.

CK is “Versatile” because with only one equipment you can have five different jaw configurations:

  • D jaws for Primary and Selective demolition.
  • P jaws for Primary and Secondary demolition, to reduce concrete elements and separate and cut the rebar from it.
  • S jaws for Primary, Secondary and Selective demolition of steel structures, which is equipped with reusable interchangeable blades.
  • R jaws, a combination of D and S jaws mainly for the processing of highly armored concrete with a lot of rebar inside.
  • CH jaws for Primary and Secondary demolition, to reduce the concrete together with its rebar in small blocks (cubes) in one operation (ex. walls, beams, floors, columns).
  • CK is Fast and Safe because it requires only a few minutes in order to replace the jaws by the rotating and subsequent blocking of only 2 pins.

5 models:

  • CK07 for excavator between 7 and 13 ton
  • CK11 for excavator between 10 and 16 ton
  • CK14 for excavator between 13 and 21 ton
  • CK21 for excavator between 18 and 27 ton
  • CK28 for excavator between 26 and 35 ton
  • CK36 for excavator between 35 and 50 ton
