The Italian firm, formerly CIA Italiana, is located near Milan, Italy.

C.I.A. Mathey Italiana, now an affiliate of Mathey Dearman, will continue to manufacture electrode-drying ovens and pipe cutting and beveling machines, as well as sell Mathey Dearman’s product line of pipe cutters, bevelers, and other pipefitting tools and accessories. Mathey Dearman will also sell the Italian-built ovens, pipe cutters, and bevelers in the U.S. market.

The ovens built by C.I.A Mathey Italiana perform an essential task in the welding process by preventing moisture and humidity from adversely affecting the weld.

"We are excited about the new team we have created representing both sides of the Atlantic," said Mathey Dearman President Don Lockhart. "The products and customer base complemented each company’s lines, and we believe the match will be beneficial for the profitability of both sides."
