With years of experience across a number of nuclear markets, Ansaldo Nucleare supplies and supports products ranging from small precision components to large machinery for high-integrity mechanical, electromechanical and software-controlled systems.

We’re capable of performing the vast majority of required activities in-house, thanks to our comprehensive internal resources. This means shorter lead times, and better design, quality and cost control too.
