COMPANY
ASG Superconductors has been at the forefront of superconducting technology for 25 years, building on its heritage as the former Magnet Unit of the Ansaldo Group. From the magnets that enabled the discovery of the Higgs boson to record-breaking superconducting cables for energy transmission, the company and its staff have contributed their knowledge and superconducting magnetic systems to important international research projects and innovation in the industrial and medical sectors.
With society moving increasingly towards electrification and sustainability, superconductivity, a phenomenon discovered in 1911, is becoming increasingly usable for cost-effective industrial and everyday applications thanks to innovations in materials and design, as well as advances in materials and expertise.
Our magnets, superconducting cables and magnetic systems, including our innovative MgB₂ high-temperature superconductor, are all developed, designed and manufactured in Italy and Europe, drawing on solid physical, engineering and manufacturing know-how.
With a team of 200 highly specialised employees and subsidiaries in Italy, France, the United States and the United Kingdom, ASG Superconductors continues to be a world leader in superconductor technology and aims to bring this technology closer to everyday life: from particle physics to fusion, from proton therapy for cancer treatment to cables for lossless energy transmission, to name but a few.
LEADING SUPERCONDUCTING TECHNOLOGY
Improving everyday life and creating real value for the world of research and industry by designing and developing innovative superconducting magnets, applications and systems.
Vision
Since the beginning of our history, we have been working at the forefront of technology in the field of superconductivity.
Collaboration with research institutes and industries to solve scientific and technological challenges is deeply rooted in our DNA.
We have contributed to important achievements in scientific research, such as the discovery of the Higgs boson - ASG supplied the magnets for CERN's Large Hadron Collider - and to the advancement of studies in the field of nuclear fusion by collaborating with the world's most important projects, including ITER, W/-Z, JET, DTT and JT-60SA. But we have also been able to innovate in the evolution of materials, with our MgB₂ superconductor already bringing cost-effective innovation to sectors such as MRI, cancer treatment and high-efficiency energy transmission.
We believe that our challenge for the future is to extend its many applications to the industrial world and everyday life. For this reason, we work every day with renewed enthusiasm in a frontier area at the border between research and industry.
OUR ORGANIZATION
Integrity, transparency, respect for people and long term sustainability are the founding principles of ASG's Corporate Governance, aspiring to excellence through continuous investment at the forefront of technology.

LEARN, INNOVATE, IMPROVE
ASG is a high-tech company with distinctive expertise in the field of magnets and superconducting materials, wires and cables, and continuous investment in research and development. The combination of knowledge, experience and continuous investment enables the company to carry out laboratory tests on models, feasibility studies for specific requirements, budget calculations and other research activities with an industrial vision. In particular, magnet design and superconducting system simulations require in-depth know-how in the following areas: cryogenics, finite element techniques, magnetic fields, superconducting stability, quench evolution and stresses on three-dimensional structures.
Over the years, the company has also developed expertise in the development of MgB₂ wires and energy quality systems such as storage and anti-blackout systems, as well as med-tech applications with a cost-effective approach.
Quality, security, respect of environment and corporate social responsibility are part of the most relevant duties of ASG Superconductors' policy and involve every aspect of the company's activities. ASG Superconductors invests constantly to maintain the highest standard of services and production quality with professional training and re-qualification of its employees.

75 YEARS YOUNG
75 years at the forefront of superconductors: ASG Superconductors was founded in 2001, building on a tradition of scientific excellence developed over more than half a century of operation by Ansaldo's magnet unit. Today, it is a world leader renowned for its expertise in the design, construction and testing of magnets for research and superconducting magnetic systems and wires for the medical and energy sectors.
ASG Superconductors works every day at the cutting edge of
technological excellence.
Partners and suppliers therefore play an essential role and
are integral to a range of key processes, including research strategies, the
negotiation of framework agreements and orders, and the procurement of goods,
raw materials and services.
This is why we pay close attention to the entire process,
including identifying new and the better suppliers in line with our commercial
and production activities: only in this way is it possible to derive maximum
value from the supply chain.
