Sustainability is an integral part of our innovation strategy: every  day we update our manufacturing processes  and we reconsider the raw materials involved to achieve the targets of sustainability including the ones of our customers. 
We have set ambitious targets for the safety, the health, the respect and the protection of the environment.

Product Stewardship

In formulating and manufacturing our inks, we apply suitable procedures to guarantee a solid social environmental stewardship.  .
The inks we manufacture contain exclusively components suitable to the current   compliance requirements, included the strictest quality and safety standards required all over the world.
All the raw materials used in the manufacturing process are treated according to the REACH European Regulation.

Energy & Emissions

We are constantly committed to reduce energy consumption and emissions of our manufacturing facilities.
For our customers we design and propose applicative solutions in order to achieve a remarkable energy saving and containment of waste.

recycled materials


Nowadays the pollution generated form plastic is still a widespread problem.
We are committed to play our part in solving it by using recycled materials for our containers and packaging.
Furthermore, the digitalization process of all Company’s areas has allowed us to get rid off the major part of paper documentation, speeding up the processes and reducing the physical space of the archive.

water waste management


The water waste management gets the utmost care.
The rainwater collection system reduces the cost of the water taken from the aqueduct.
The flowmeters monitor the incoming and outgoing water during the manufacturing process in order to optimize its consumption.
The washing water of the screen washing line and equipment are purified from any chemical and organic residue in order to be used for next washings or during production performances.
