COUNCIL DIRECTIVE 2007/43/EC of 28 June 2007 laying down minimum rules for the protection of chickens kept for meat production.
Our company has been developing automation systems since 1978 and now it can boast a highly skilled team of engineers for studying and developing the product right from the initial design stage to its final application. The experience acquired is intensively put into practice at all manufacturing stages to guarantee equipment performance and commitment to customer support. Close cooperation between R&D and production is essential to get the best from technical equipment design and application.
Our production departments are fully automated to efficiently meet the various customers' requirements and guarantee proved standards with reduction of costs, which so far was only possible on a large-scale production.
Advanced hardware design is the bedrock of our success with an intensive use of computer-based process automation systems right from the second half of the eighties, even in applicative fields which were considered “too poor” for computer science application. 
The range of products includes a few hundreds of standard models destined to various fields of process automation. 
A data processing centre (EDP) linked in real time to internal user video terminals provides immediate handling of orders to ensure prompt deliveries.
Development of new products presupposes in-depth knowledge of the market situation and target range.
