FALLONE
Eugenio Fallone Hijos is an italian-origin company, which started its activities in the city of Milan
in the field of plastic injection molding. In 1949, by an Official Settlement Decree issued by the
Argentine Government it moved to this country as a plant of National Interest.
In 1962, following the automotive industry growth, the company began to manufacture Oil Pumps for Fiat
Argentina, Peugeot Argentina, an Borgward Argentina. Over the coming years, it became one of the
leading companies in the Argentine market, an the only one in South America featuring a fully-integrated
plant. Processes for the production of the product, such as injection molding, sintering and machining of
parts and components, helped in this way to strengthen its quality assurance.
Backed by the thorough Quality Control undergone by the differentmanufacturing stages in accordance with
technical specifications, and ISO 9001/2015 Standards, as well as by the know how achieved, our
company has reached a quality excellence acknowledged not only by our market but also worldwide.
Our appreciation to all our customers for their support, and confidence.
Our People
One of the main reasons for the success of the company is our
Human Resources, their dedication and professionalism assure
the high quality of our products, also strengthened by the automation of the most difficult activities of the
production process. All these features position our company as a highly competitive one, even in an
increasingly global economy.

Injection Molding
The Injection Molding Sector provides all aluminum pieces required by the different Oil Pumps produced
by us. These pieces are manufactured from an aluminum alloy, melted in crucibles (at temperatures over
600°), and processed through hydraulic injection molding characterized by a compression capacity
ranging from 100 to 400 tons, controlled by electronic means. For better finishing purposes, all pieces are
subject to deburring and shot blasting processes resulting in soft edges and uniform shapes. Above parts
are then and finally inspected one by one by a very exhaustive Quality Control.

Sintering
All internal components such as gears, rotors, stators, pistons, bushings and buckets, among others, are
manufactured in this sector. The process begins with the raw material which is steel atomized with a
copper and graphite alloy, compacted at high pressures and passed through a die, in automatic presses
having a continuous-cycle providing each piece with different shapes. They are then transported by
conveyor belts through the continuous-cycle furnaces, where the atmosphere is controlled at over 1200°,
and where the sintering process takes place, i.e., the union of minerals. This activity provides for the
necessary hardness, mechanical properties, and a good surface finishing. Pieces then undergo
processes such as grinding and turning, assuring in this way compliance with the dimension standards
required.

Machining and Assembly
In these facilities, all pieces coming from the different above-mentioned sectors are brought together, and
through different last-generation Centers of Numerical Control, having three and four axes with rotating
tables adapted to the different kinds of Pumps, the automatic machining of injection molded parts and
pieces is completed. After a cleaning process, pieces are assembled on specific receiving devices
where Oil Pumps at a last stage are subject to a dynamic hydraulic testing, automatically driven, by using
the electronic testing benches, having exactly the same features as engines.

Quality
Our company is absolutely committed to Quality, fact which can be seen in the constant improvements in
search of Excellence. For this purpose, the entire production process relies on controls (automatic
controls) in each sector, in addition to the inspectors which are part of the operating inspection. Finally
there is a Metrology sector having last-generation equipment for allowing an optimal metering as well as
testing of pieces to be in accordance with drawings. Our Total Quality process results from continuously
working on efficient processes, customer satisfaction, and compliance with all standards and rules in
force. Our Quality Management System is in accordance with the guidelines of ISO 9001/2015 and certified by
Det Norske Veritas (DNV) with recognition of the International Accreditation Forum (IAF).
