The decision to pursue an environmental policy led to the installation of a photovoltaic system to reduce energy consumption of production equipment. Despite the significant initial cost, this investment will help reduce electricity costs and achieve energy independence, thanks also to the installed storage batteries.
Moreover, our commercial policy promotes eco-friendly and environmentally sustainable products, aiming to protect both the environment and the health of operators and maintenance personnel.
An example of excellence is the introduction of the INTERSLEEK marine coating system. Unlike traditional paints that contain biocides, toxins, and microplastics—working by releasing these substances—INTERSLEEK is completely free of them.
Its operating principle is based on a low adhesion coefficient for slime and marine flora and fauna, allowing the hull to remain clean, reducing costly and frequent maintenance, and saving significant amounts of fuel as the vessel ‘glides’ through the water.
