The company has been building segments for 20 years and has been producing over 600,000 pieces.
Production system: The segments are manufactured on a production line using mobile moulds, which move along an automated carrousel with highly specialised operators at fixed work stations.
Environmental sustainability of the process: The company uses an electrical regeneration process: it uses steam generated in drying the segments to produce energy. In addition, it reuses water through a recirculation process during the cleaning of the moulds and manufacturing plants.
