EFFICIENCY BOOSTING

of current production (Boxes; Paper Industry) with a 15% increase of disabled and able-bodied labour force.

DIVERSIFICATION

of activities towards innovative technologies (cellulosic nanomaterials) with high added value

ENLARGEMENT

of personal service areas due to occupy over 3,000 square metres with an increase of about 20 operators

Boxes and paper industry: technological innovation

Updating of systems to new technological standards
More professional conditions for both disabled and able-bodied workers
In-line workflows and automatic handling of raw materials and finished products
Increased plant efficiency
Increased employment of disabled and able-bodied personnel.

Cellulosic nanomaterials research and production centre

Activities with a high scientific content and high added value
Uses waste and by-products from agricultural and biomass processing
Realizes a process of circular economy and environmentally friendly industrial symbiosis
Produces biodegradable cellulosic nanoparticles with high chemical, physical and mechanical properties
Applications in various sectors: food packaging, electronics, composites, adhesives, insulators, reinforcing agents, cosmetics.
