35 years of passion for plastics

In 2015 Moretto is celebrating 35 years in the business, years full of passion for plastics and challenges accepted and successfully overcome. The anniversary was celebrated in part to mark the recent Plast fair in Milan, with a spectacular acrobatic dance at the company's stand and with an evening dedicated to clients and suppliers. A success that comes from research and development, which has developed 161 trademarks, 33 different machine models, 40,000 units each year made exclusively in Italy and exported all over the world. The company self-finances its research and development, which is based on analysis and advanced and effective engineering by its team of experts.

One of the maximum expressions of this philosophy is represented by Leonardo, the supercomputer installed in the company's research and development department, having a calculation capacity of 22,000 billion operations a second, capable of developing structural calculation simulations, with distinct elements, of fluid dynamics, thermal dynamics and electromagnetism. This machine, which has already helped the company in one of the most ambitious projects in the history of dehumidification, Eureka, will open new paths to scientific knowledge and understanding of many phenomena of physics, creating a vital support for the study and development of specific solutions for processing plastics.

These 35 years demonstrate that in Italy it is possible to produce but, most importantly, it is possible to produce well. The company has stated in a press release that it has never fallen for the temptations of price, firmly believing that producing its systems in the headquarters at Massanzago, near Padua, is the only way it can guarantee reliability and support for its customers. Control of the entire production pipeline ensures not just product quality, but also excellence.

A sales force of personnel with solid training in sales and aftersales service also comes into play, suggesting the most suitable solutions for processors' needs. The Moretto Group has a global presence with sales branches in Brazil, Germany, Poland, Turkey, the United States and Russia and provides local support in 57 countries around the globe. The recent inauguration of a branch in the United States has strengthened the brand on a particularly mature market. Moreover, to provide close support to the extrusion sector and offer dedicated automation devices also to this field of processing, the company has recently expanded its product range with the Contrex brand, a company operating for 35 years in the extrusion sector and with which Moretto has found many points in common, first and foremost great attention to detail. A winning synergy to expand the Plastic Automation project towards achieving global technological leadership.

Its ethical business approach is embodied in the brand "Original Moretto System & People", which sums up the basic concept sustaining the entire philosophy of founder Renato Moretto and which he refers to as "technological humanism".
