Being at the forefront of technology has always been the key feature of a company that today has 20\u00a0employees, and that in the early 2016 has celebrated its 40<sup>th<\/sup> anniversary. Thermoforming is a process that requires the right balance between theoretical knowledge, practical know-how, fieldwork and domain expertise. All traits Dilpast accrued over years of hard work, errors, analysis and improvement; and that today are made available to the client in our brand-new headquarter located in Montecchio Emilia in the province of Reggio Emilia.<\/p>\n<p>The approach we take towards design demonstrates a bias for simplicity and utility. Our creed is as simply as incisive: form follows function. To us, the close oversight of all stages of manufacture &#8211; from design to finished article \u2013 translates into an active participation in the overall creation process and is crucial to maintaining a high level of our standardized production methods and an unvarying quality in any manufacturing stage. A shrewd organization of company\u2019s internal structure has also helped us to achieve increasingly better results, meeting even the most demanding requests and supplying our clients with higher quality product.<\/p>\n<p>We operate complying with ISO EN UNI 9001:2008, thanks to which we are able to do an end-to-end component design control and, above all, to drastically cut scrap, waste plastic and returned goods. The\u00a0aim of fulfilling our mission statement reward us everyday with big satisfactions both personally and professionally.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='av_section_1' class='avia-section alternate_color avia-section-default avia-no-shadow avia-bg-style-scroll  container_wrap fullsize'   ><div class='av-section-color-overlay-wrap'><a href='#next-section' title='' class='scroll-down-link' aria-hidden='true' data-av_icon='\ue877' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello'><\/a><div class='container' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-full alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-334'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n<div class=\"flex_column av_two_fifth  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding first  \" style='border-radius:0px; '><p><section class=\"av_textblock_section\"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock '   itemprop=\"text\" ><\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<div class='avia-image-container  av-styling-   avia-align-center '  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\"  ><div class='avia-image-container-inner'><img class='avia_image ' src='https:\/\/www.dilplast.it\/dilplast2016\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/enrico_ternelli.jpg' alt='' title='enrico_ternelli'   itemprop=\"contentURL\"  \/><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<div class='avia-image-container  av-styling-   avia-align-center '  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\"  ><div class='avia-image-container-inner'><img class='avia_image ' src='https:\/\/www.dilplast.it\/dilplast2016\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/interno_dilplast_small-495x400.jpg' alt='' title='interno_dilplast_small'   itemprop=\"contentURL\"  \/><\/div><\/div><\/p><\/div><div class=\"flex_column av_three_fifth  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding   \" style='border-radius:0px; '><section class=\"av_textblock_section\"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock '   itemprop=\"text\" ><h2 id=\"history\" style=\"text-align: center;\">COMPANY&#8217;S HISTORY<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<section class=\"avia_codeblock_section avia_code_block_3\"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_codeblock '  itemprop=\"text\" > [avia_codeblock_placeholder uid=\"3\"] <\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<div  class='hr hr-default '><span class='hr-inner ' ><span class='hr-inner-style'><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n<section class=\"av_textblock_section\"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock '   itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Dante Ternelli, founder of Dilplast, got his start aged 22\u00a0in 1968 and eight years later founded Dilpast. The year was 1976, and the firm was one of the country\u2019s earliest to provide advice and technical support on any type of milling and thermoforming. In 1979, Dilplast designed and implemented its first washing trough explicitly shaped for working environments. In the following years, several others sanitary items were produced until an ad-hoc business unit called\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.sanitarinplastica.com\">Dilplast Sanitari<\/a>\u00a0was created.<\/p>\n<p>During the 1990s, Dilplast warmly welcomed the new options made possible by the huge steps forward technology had done up until then: in 1991, it purchased its first 5-axis cutting machine for manufacturing and finishing semi-processed materials, and three years on began working with computer numerically controlled tools. Finally, in 1998, the company set about using CAD\/CAM programs to control machine tools and provided itself with a trailblazing 3D scanner.<\/p>\n<p>In the early 2000s, Dilplast certified its own system through Istituto Italiano dei Plastici (IIP), fulfilling the requirements of the standard UNI EN ISO 9001:2008 and, shortly afterward, bought an all-electric thermoforming machine equipped with a quicker tool change system allowing to improve the average yield. Meanwhile, the firm implemented a CAD-CAM software, lowering significantly processing time and decreasing start-up scrap and waste plastic.<\/p>\n<p>In the beginning of 2010, Dilplast attuned to the most recent developments by acquiring its first thermoforming machine with automatic load\/unload \u2013 conceived with an absolutely innovative sheet loading system. Furthermore, due to an increasing demand, a tampography printing machine was introduced, widening the company\u2019s machinery extent. In august 2015, Dilplast inaugurated its new headquarter in Montecchio Emilia in the province of Reggio Emilia: a considerable step, but just a stepping stone towards a more ambitious future and ever more sustainable.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"flex_column av_one_full  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding first  \" style='border-radius:0px; '><\/div>\n<div class=\"flex_column av_one_half  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding first  \" style='border-radius:0px; '><p><div class='avia-image-container  av-styling-   avia-align-center '  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\"  ><div class='avia-image-container-inner'><img class='avia_image ' src='https:\/\/www.dilplast.it\/dilplast2016\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/green_efficency-300x146.png' alt='' title='green_efficency'   itemprop=\"contentURL\"  \/><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section class=\"av_textblock_section\"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock '   itemprop=\"text\" ><h3 id=\"green_en\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #39932c;\">ENERGY CERTIFICATION CLASS A FOR FACTORY AND OFFICES<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<section class=\"avia_codeblock_section avia_code_block_4\"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_codeblock '  itemprop=\"text\" > [avia_codeblock_placeholder uid=\"4\"] <\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<div class='avia-image-container  av-styling-   avia-align-center '  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\"  ><div class='avia-image-container-inner'><img class='avia_image ' src='https:\/\/www.dilplast.it\/dilplast2016\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/certificazione_energetica_uffici-212x300.jpg' alt='' title='certificazione_energetica_uffici'   itemprop=\"contentURL\"  \/><\/div><\/div><\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"flex_column av_one_half  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding   \" style='border-radius:0px; '><section class=\"av_textblock_section\"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock '   itemprop=\"text\" ><h2 id=\"green_en\" style=\"text-align: center;\">ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILTY<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<section class=\"avia_codeblock_section avia_code_block_5\"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_codeblock '  itemprop=\"text\" > [avia_codeblock_placeholder uid=\"5\"] <\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<div  class='hr hr-default '><span class='hr-inner ' ><span class='hr-inner-style'><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n<section class=\"av_textblock_section\"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock '   itemprop=\"text\" ><p>We know that our business activity has an environmental impact.
