You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Lucchini RS S.p.A.''' (formerly '''Lucchini Sidermeccanica S.p.A.''' and where the acronym "RS" stands for "rolling stock") is an Italian company, fully owned by the Lucchini family through a financial holding called Sinpar S.p.A. and divided from [[Gruppo Lucchini]], which was under Russian control of [[Alexei Mordashov]] and [[Severstal]] from 2005 till 2007. In 2008 the Lucchini family took back the control of Lucchini RS.

Lucchini RS specialises in steel products such as railways products, steel casting, forgings, tool steels and forge ingots.

The company headquarters is in [[Brescia]], but the main plant is located in [[Lovere]] [[Bergamo]] on the west shore of [[Iseo Lake]]: the plant covers an area of 237,000 sqm including 147,000 sqm of factory buildings. Typical of this company is its ability to house on site all phases of production from the initial design to the finished products.((citation needed|date=September 2014))

The Lucchini RS Group is made of:
* Lucchini RS
* Lucchini Industries
* Lucchini Mamé Forge
* Lucchini FA. RO.
* LUR (formerly known as Lucchini UK)
* Lucchini Sweden
* Lucchini Poland
* Zhibo Lucchini
* Lucchini CE ([[Austria]])
* LBX ([[Belgium]])
* Lucchini India
* Lucchini CN ([[Beijing]], [[China]])
* Lucchini South Africa
* Ahiyeni Rail
* Lucchini North America

==History==
The Lovere production site, the current main plant of Lucchini RS Group, was '''founded in 1856''' by Giovanni Andrea Gregorini who moved his business from Valcamonica. I'''n 1907 the plant started the production of railway wheels''', still today one of the distinctive products of the company, being the only Italian manufacturer of forged railway wheels and among the few in the world.

'''In 1930 the company was nationalized''' and remained under state control for many years, under various names including ILVA, Italsider, Terni and Lovere Sidermeccanica.

In 1990, within the general framework of the privatization program of the Italian State-owned steel industry, '''the Lovere plant was sold to the Lucchini Group''' of Mr. Luigi Lucchini. The company was then called "Lucchini Sidermeccanica" and started a program of modernization and internationalization - in 2000 the companies Lucchini UK and Lucchini Sweden were acquired from AD Tranz, in 2002 Lucchini Poland was founded - remaining within the Lucchini Group until 2007. In this year the Lucchini family, through its financial holding company Sinpar S.p.A., acquired direct and complete control of Lucchini Sidermeccanica.

The same year, the company established a '''joint venture called Zhibo Lucchini Railway Equipment Ltd''' with China's Zhibo Transport Equipment to build the world's largest maintenance plant for wheelsets to equip Chinese high-speed trains. Chinese high-speed rail is by far the largest network in the world by line length and number of trains in service.
Also in 2007, the company launched an investment of approximately 100 million Euros for the complete replacement of its railway wheel forging line with a new fully automated line. The line started production in 2010.

In 2008 the company changed its name, assuming its current name Lucchini RS S.p.A..

On 27 June 2014, Lucchini RS acquired from the Tribunal of [[Liege]] the bankrupt [[Valdunes]] company to manufacture railway products. The name of the new company is '''LBX SA'''.<ref name=6com>((cite web|title=Ne dites plus Valdunes (Seraing), mais Lucchini|url=http://www.6com.be/4/actu_article.cfm?artID=119515&theme=Industries|website=6com.be|date=27 June 2014|access-date=7 September 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140907122126/http://www.6com.be/4/actu_article.cfm?artID=119515&theme=Industries|archive-date=7 September 2014|url-status=dead))</ref>

On 3 September 2014 Lucchini RS announced that it signed a preliminary agreement to acquire, by the end of 2014, 49% shareholding of [[Mamé Group]], an important manufacturer of forged steel components based in [[Cividate Camuno]] [[Brescia]]. Mamé Group was eventually completely acquired by Lucchini RS and renamed '''Lucchini Mamé Forge'''.

On 2 February 2015 Lucchini RS and [[Unipart Rail]] created a new joint venture called '''LUR''' or '''Lucchini Unipart Rail''' Ltd. The new business has an annual turnover of around £60m (about €75m) and employs over 300 people on two production sites, [[Manchester]] and [[Doncaster]]. Lucchini RS holds 60% of LUR.<ref name=llur>((cite web| url=http://www.lucchinirs.it/eng/?page_id=1302| title=LUR| website=Lucchini RS))</ref><ref>((cite press release| url=http://www.lucchinirs.it/ita/?p=3354| title=Unipart e Lucchini RS aprono una nuova via nel mercato ferroviario britannico| language=Italian| author=Lucchini RS| date=25 November 2014))</ref>

On 1 March 2017 Lucchini RS acquired '''Euras''', a branch of Acciai Brianza, giving life to '''Lucchini Tool Steel''', active in the processing and marketing of tool steel. The new acquisition was part of the industrial strategy of Lucchini RS for consolidating and strengthening the "Forgings and Castings Division" launched after the acquisition of Lucchini Mame Forge.

On 1 September 2018, a new company '''Lucchini Industries Srl''' was carved out of Lucchini RS, grouping all the production assets of the Lovere plant.

In September 2021, Lucchini RS announced and agreement with the shareholders of FA.RO Acciai to merge FA.RO with Lucchini Tool Steel, thus creating '''Lucchini FA.RO. s.r.l.''', one of the most important European service centers for the sale of tool steel, for the production of molds for plastic, die-casting, extrusion and hot stamping.
