There are two goals to achieve: experiment new environmentally-friendly finishing cycles that use ecological paints (mainly water based or solvent-free) and save energy that is all those methods and devices to guarantee cut down of energy costs each product unit.

Besides, that are other projects related to the increase of machine performances and simplifying their use which mainly means increase automation of the plant. The ease of use of a finishing plant must be guaranteed more and more and it is obtained through a considerable use of the mechatronics, the sum of mechanical and electronic technologies, of new components and software that properly applied allow to achieve those goals. These investments have resulted not only in the structures dedicated to the design and testing of new prototypes but in widening the researchers team involved in various projects.
