Transforming car components: from simple plastic items to Superior Auto Parts Always
It has been a hectic time for SAPA and me lately.
From the Angelo Affinita Award, where three young graduate students and their Automotive projects were awarded three scholarships, to the speech of Antonio Affinita, CEO of SAPA, at Confindustria’s Roadshow.
More events will follow in the future.
I am proud of the results we achieved concerning research, innovation, growth and challenging entrepreneurship, even if now everything seems to be harder, more competitive.
We won’t stop here.
On April 18 and 19, there will be an exclusive talk about the One Shot® process at Smart Plastics in Arese. The event is organised by Plast Design and Plast magazine, and entirely dedicated to high-performance polymeric materials.
Our R&D Engineer Alfonso Molaro, from our Innovation in Engineering Team, will give a speech. Designed and created by SAPA, this department is unique among the industrial landscape.
Here are the critical points of the speech at Smart Plastic:
Alfonso Molaro’s talk will focus on the advantages of the One Shot® methodology compared to traditional methods, and why it is the first all-in-one method to transform plastic components into Superior Auto Parts Always.
All items are made on a single production island. Practically a “single press blow”, that means a One Shot® Process. In this way you avoid intermediate passages or external intervention by workers, that only lead to higher production scraps, higher costs and more pollution.
One Shot® process. Same performances, but
– less weight
– less costs
– more productivity
All items are made on a single production island. Practically a “single press blow”, that means a One Shot® Process. In this way you avoid intermediate passages or external intervention by workers, that only lead to higher production scraps, higher costs and more pollution.
Why did we decide to focus on this kind of methodology, which is a unique worldwide and patented process?
The reason is simple: we produce over 43 million car components every year. It is a vast, significant number.
Such requests, together with increasingly strict international directives about environment and waste, made us realize that the methodology used was not the best performing.
Luckily, around 5% of SAPA’s revenues are invested in research and development by a dedicated team (the one I mentioned before) called “Innovation in Engineering”. A unique feature in the industrial landscape.
Over the years, SAPA specialised towards an all-in-one approach, and ONLY on Automotive.
At Smart Plastics in Arese, we will talk about some of the results we achieved.
