Noise in workspaces is not only disturbing. Studies have shown that noise can reduce cognitive performance, slowing down the completion of tasks and increasing the likelihood of errors. It can significantly impact productivity, health, and overall well-being. It is a huge problem at stores and factories, but also at schools, fast food restaurants and offices,

The furniture industry is one of the most innovative when it comes to incorporating new materials. Let’s think about methacrylate tables and chairs, or the legendary Acapulco Chair woven with PVC cord. The 21st century welcomes the age of expanded polypropylene (EPP) furniture design.     In this article you will discover how to make EPP furniture

Assembly lines put together different components from various suppliers to create a final product, be it a car, a refrigerator or an air conditioner. These industrial ‘Frankensteins’ lead to thousands of journeys for components every day with two fundamental expectations: that they arrive on time and in perfect condition.  Furthermore, in recent years, concerns about

Customisation sets you apart and makes you stand out from the competition. Mass production gives your projects economic viability and makes them executable in a manageable time. Are these irreconcilable objectives? Not at all. Custom plastic parts bring together the best of both worlds. In fact, having custom plastic components for each use delivers versatility,

  We all want to feel at home. This means achieving adequate thermal comfort and maximum soundproofing for noise from mechanical equipment that allows you to maintain a comfortable temperature. Insulating foams are our greatest allies in achieving this. But we are not the only ones to benefit. The energy and environmental impact of an

In 2015 the member countries of the United Nations adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. This document encompasses a framework of actions for peace and prosperity condensed in its  17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Moving towards the 2030 Agenda is as ambitious as it is complex. It requires a delicate balance between social, climate

Why is ducting important in HVAC?    Air ducts are a key element of HVAC systems, as they are the equipment through which the air moves. Therefore, ensuring that they are regularly serviced and maintained in a good condition is a must.  HVAC ducting delivers either warm or cool air and facilitates the ventilation of

Dear customers, dear partners, 2022 has been as challenging as ever. We want to thank you for the trust you place in us day after day. Collaborating with you on many different projects is the source of our daily motivation! Inspired by our new vision and mission, we are looking forward to a great new year

Energy used by pressure pumps tends to be an invisible cost that ends buried in many other expenses. However, the reality is that improving the efficiency of a pump can have a strong impact on increasing the return on investment (ROI) of a company.   This is because the further away a pump is from its

Reducing the carbon footprint has become a priority in recent years given the rapid increase in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, which reached record levels in 2021 and already accounts for 60% of man’s total impact on the environment. There is no doubt that it is urgent to look for alternatives to curb the harmful repercussions

Although we usually speak of plastic in the singular, the reality is that there are many types of plastic that exist today. Since its appearance in the 19th century, its use has only grown, reaching a world production of almost 400 million tons per year at present. A large part of this ends up in

We are pleased to inform you that the Knauf Industries Group has just finalized the acquisition of the Overath Group. Overath Group is a German based family company, established in the EPP and crosslinked PO (Polyolefine) foams market. The group was founded in 1987 and today employs more than 100 people at two sites: in

The implementation of plastic recycling in industrial environments represents a guarantee that companies are making their best to minimize their environmental impact. With plastic being a non-biodegradable material, it has gained a bad reputation as plastic recycling techniques weren’t adopted.  However, with growing new sensibilities towards sustainability, the application of plastic recycling schemes is growing

The lightening of technical parts stands out today as one of the main strategies companies are using to optimize their designs. Explained briefly, the term lightweight refers to the reduction of component weight in a product, which translates into a reduction of the overall design. From better equipment performance to improved sustainability, reducing the weight

At the heart of circular economy packaging lies a truly revolutionizing premise: the industry must go further in its efforts to minimize its environmental impact and suggest a total paradigm change.  Circular packaging is not just about reusing materials, but a multidisciplinary practice that helps increase resource management, save resources of all types and minimize

HVAC foam insulation consists of a highly efficient method to improve these systems’ performance and sustainability. The many benefits of applying expanded polypropylene foam have caused the rise in the number of this material’s applications in the Heating, Ventilation, Air-Conditioning, and Refrigeration (HVAC) industry. What exactly is EPP foam and how can it be applied

HVAC unit components play a significant role in achieving durability and energy efficiency in equipment. As these two factors turn into minimizing economical costs, the importance of picking the right HVAC unit components should not be underestimated. From our experience in designing and implementing HVAC technical parts, we provide a short guide in choosing reliable
