Microplásticos History Chapter 2: Growth and Expansion In 1990, after three years of hard work and dedication, Microplásticos took a big step. We moved to rented premises in Cova da Serpe, a place that would become a milestone in our journey. In this new space, we received three injection machines, bought second-hand, which became the heart of our production. Our team grew to 11 dedicated people, each playing a crucial role in our success. But it doesn't end there. The premises we initially rented were later bought at a public auction at the Figueira da Foz courthouse. This was a moment of pride and achievement for all of us at Microplásticos. This chapter in our history is proof of our commitment and our ability to overcome challenges. It has been a period of growth and expansion, but also of learning and adaptation. Stay tuned for the next chapter in our story!

Continuing the narrative of needling’s evolution, 1878 marked a pivotal year with both Mr. Dailey and Mr. Field contributing key advancements. Mr. Field's description of a machine where "gangs of barbed needles" interlace fibers in fibrous material is a game-changing concept that laid the groundwork for the mechanization of felting. The idea of mechanical interlacing of fibers brought precision to textile production, and, crucially, this machine already had the ability to reciprocate needles up and down. These early designs represent the foundation of modern needling, where the basic principle manipulating fiber through barbed needles to create structure was already firmly established. As we look ahead to developments throughout the 20th century, particularly by the 1970s, most of the fundamental needling configurations had already been explored. Machines were primarily designed to repeat these principles with enhancements in precision, efficiency, and scale. The era after the 1970s largely saw refinements and optimizations, rather than radical innovation in the mechanics of needling. This continuity underscores the enduring brilliance of these early designs, which continue to inform how we approach needle punching and felting in modern textile production. As we delve deeper into this history, we’ll discover how early ideas persisted and were revisited with the arrival of new materials and applications, pushing the limits of what these early machines first envisioned. #ramatexitalia #needlymat #nonwoven #needlepunching

Swiss-headquartered #glass manufacturer Vetropack Group is set to modernise one of its three furnaces and corresponding forming machines at its Croatian plant in Hum na Sutli. The upgrade will enhance production capacity, optimise #energy #efficiency, and reduce #environmental impact. Draining of the furnace starts today and the first glass produced on the new equipment by December of this year. After draining is complete, the current flint furnace at the Vetropack Straža facility will be demolished. The company will also introduce new glass forming machines and a revised set-up for the cold end including the latest #inspection #technology. One of the new installations will be a servo-electric driven NIS machine, a first for the plant. An optimised layout of the whole plant set-up is set to improve the flow of production. These upgrades are not only crucial for maintaining the standard of glass #packaging products but also essential for ensuring the longevity and efficiency of #manufacturing operations. The modernisation will result in an increase in production capacity, enabling Vetropack Straža to better serve customers while meeting growing #market demands. Mario Berc, Technical Manager at Vetropack Straža said: “I am pleased to say that the modernisation project is carried out in a very time-efficient way. This enables us to bring our product back on the market very soon.” The facility will also achieve a higher furnace output, enabling the production of more tonnes of glass per square metre, thus saving space and optimising production costs. In April 2024, the Vetropack Group had defined and submitted its targets for reducing #CO2 emissions to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). By 2032, Scope 1 and 2 emissions are to be reduced by 50.4% and Scope 3 emissions by 30%. In order to achieve these targets, the Vetropack Group is pushing ahead with #modernisation measures such as the one in Hum na Sutli. #industry #engieering #switzerland #investment #croatia
