CONNECTED TO THE PAST
AFFILIATED TO THE GALPERTI GROUP
The PFF Group is part of the Galperti Group – a leading
company with production and sales organisations
established worldwide. Within the demanding oil, gas
and (petro)chemical industry and the energy sector,
the name Galperti is synonymous with quality,
sustainability and reliability.
The foundation for the Galperti Group was laid in
1921 in the Italian city of Bellano, where the activities
were primarily geared to the production of agricultural
machinery and forged parts for railways. With the
emergence of the (petro)chemical industry in the 1950s,
the company shifted its focus to the development and
production of forged flanges.
This proved a success, because today, Galperti is one
of the world leading producers and offers an extensive
range of quality products.

ENGINEERING & PRODUCTION
QUALITY
Safety is the most important factor for man and environment. Without any argument.
Therefore quality is essential. First and foremost the quality of products. But so too does
the quality of advice, service and business processes.
INDISPUTABLE
Quality guarantees safety.
QUALITY
HEALTH, SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENT
The PFF Group aspires to distinguish itself through its concern for health, safety and environment (HSE).
That is why these aspects are number one on our list of priorities when developing products, setting up
production processes and performing distribution activities.
As an ISO 14001 certified company, we do not consider the legal regulations on health, safety and environ-
ment as standard, but rather as minimum requirements. To this end, we strive to create an accident-free
work environment by implementing an active health & safety policy in accordance with the OHSAS 18001
directive, where employees share the responsibility for maintaining a safe work environment.
HSE is our first and foremost priority in the total supply chain
CERTIFIED QUALITY
Our sector is subject to high quality requirements. And rightly so, because quality is inherent to safety, service
lifespan and costs. We therefore go to great lengths to meet the highest requirements and continuously invest
in improving our business processes. It is not without good reason that the PFF Group is a PED approved
supplier and certified in accordance with the ISO 9001:2008.
Our skilled personnel have extensive theoretical know-how and practical experience within the oil, gas and
(petro)chemical industry and the energy sector. Where applicable, our technical personnel are personally
qualified according to EN 473 and VCA certified by Lloyd’s Register.
ICT, THE HEART OF OUR BUSINESS
PFF Group is the connecting link between you, the customer, and the quality products from our worldwide
suppliers. In today’s dynamic world, fast and adequate communication is of vital importance in this respect.
That is why we use in-house developed e-business technology that is perfectly tailored to the demanding
environment in which we operate. This ensures fast and error-free transactions, while at the same time
improving our performance and quality.
CONNECTIVITY AND SECURITY
All locations of the PFF Group are linked together in a corporate network, providing our employees with quick
and efficient access to all relevant data. This results in short lead times and greater delivery reliability. Our
network is optimally protected and managed internally, thereby ensuring maximum security and discretion.
CUSTOMER PORTAL
PFF Group offers you a user-friendly customer portal through which you have access to product certificates
at any time and from any location, both from the office and on-site. In addition, you can view online the status
of your orders and progress reports, and send and receive documents and specifications. And, not insignifi-
cant, we offer you tailor-made solutions for linking up our customer portal to your own back office systems.
ICT IS OUR PERMANENT FOCUS
As you can see, information technology is the heart of our business and is also indispensable to our ambition
of continually improving our level of service. It is therefore logical that the PFF Group aims to embed infor-
mation technology ever deeper into our business processes and to continue introducing innovations to our
information flow.
ICT, THE HEART OF OUR BUSINESS
The PFF Group has been approved as a supplier to a large number of leading internationally operating
companies from the oil, gas and (petro)chemical industry and the energy sector. Many oil and gas
