Metalcarp: the origin of passion

Starting from the years of Metalcarp, which has been for 50 years a well-recognized custom fabrication shop in Reggio Emilia (Italy), where the technique and knowledge in the art of fabrication has proven in many fields, R.E.M. founder Matteo Lirici learned under his father, Alfio Lirici, the dedication to the fabrication and the secrets of steel working.

Metalcarp has shown the creativity and ability of fabrication typical of the Emilia area in many field: from the very first screens for the river water pumping stations made in the ‘60s, to the first concrete Mixing Truck ever built in Italy, the Locomotives for ABB, Greco and Matisa, the early design of Screw Press in the ‘70s up to the Monument Evoluzione made to celebrate Ferrari and the mechanical and automotive industry in the area. It is now a landmark which you may see as soon as you arrive in Reggio Emilia. The experience and ability was transferred to R.E.M. and Alfio has been a great asset to set-up the fabrication.
