The study and research of technologies that are more and more innovative and at the same time able to respect the environment represent the main objective of Oldrati, a Group operating in the production of rubber, plastic and silicone products. Oldrati Group has shown that it is possible to produce in an eco-sustainable way without renouncing to the high production quality that guarantees a high service to the customer. “Our ongoing innovation program aimed at strengthening and perfecting innovative and sustainable technologies and processes that differentiate us in the marketplace also continues with concrete investments in new production plants across the Group – said Manuel Oldrati, CEO of Oldrati Group –. We continue to work and invest to strengthen new competencies and develop technologically advanced solutions. We also pay attention to the improvement of well-being in the workplace because in Oldrati it is important to build a stimulating and challenging environment where we can express ourselves at our best”. Oldrati believes that developing winning solutions but above all with low environmental impact is the future in which to invest, also from the point of view of the development of industrial production processes. In fact, the decision to use new technologies has been conditioned by many factors including the minimal impact that such technology can cause on the environment. Plasma treatment for two-component products (2K technology) is an example of this. But not only, this technological innovation allows to optimize the production time and costs in the Italian plants of the Oldrati Group, being able to produce at the same time a totally robotized double mounding, without forgetting the sustainable value to the production. With a view to the Group’s productive and sustainable innovation, more than 5 million euros have been invested in Oldrati’s product poles in 2021. These investments allow to respond to the needs of an ever-changing market by increasing performance and production efficiency. There are dozens of new state-of-the-art production lines that facilitate electronic control, ensure process optimization and improve the efficiency of energy consumption.

New laboratory R&D Center for new product development
The new 260 sqm Product Development Laboratory has been inaugurated in September 2021: despite the current historical period full of uncertainties and important unknowns, Oldrati Group has decided to invest in infrastructure, tools, personnel and training. The purpose of the New Product Development Laboratory is to enclose in a single place different skills and different professionalism to test the products simulating the real conditions of use. This diversity of contents and consequently of equipment and methods, allows to test every item from the prototype phase to the finished product, in order to guarantee products perfectly complying with customers’ specifications in a Zero Defect Approach. In addition to the new environments, the focus of investments is on new innovative machinery, which allows the best evaluation of each component in order to meet the specific needs of customers.
