To visit a firm that produces, any is his/her branch of activity, it is always interesting.

It allows in fact to not only know an industrial trial and the range produced,

but above all to understand a philosophy that overcomes the single qualities of the prodotto.Quando the firm that work is visited in the graphic arts,

it is evident that the technology and the innovation are the aspects more observed.

The visit to the Neolt Spa that last December I have completed, it has however made to stagger my certainties. I expected me for an antiseptic place, with great machineries that produced wonder whose operation keeps on staying me unknown.

I have found a great family instead, a team of people that loves his/her own job and that you/he/she is given a productive discipline that is rarely found in the industrial realities, based mainly on the optimization of the trial to the goals to contain the costs. In this case, also an impeccable organization staying, the productive trial founds him completely on the quality, on the wish to offer the best and on the satisfaction that the awareness to operate well is able offrire.Ma we proceed with order. The Neolt is in the province in Bergamo (to few kilometers from the center of the city)

and it articulates on four different establishments (three of which connected among them). Arriving to the principal center of Bridge St. Pietro I am welcomed by two guides of exception, Sergio Ferrari (manager) and Bruno Wijnands (product marketing manager); with them beginning to explore the firm, following really the iter that every product completes inside Neolt. The first thing that appears evident is the harmonic climate that reigns in the various productive departments. Every thing is in order, every person knows his/her role and every passage you/he/she happens in way by now consolidated. Great machineries, built often custom according to specific precise, they bring the signs of the job, sign that I/you/they am not only a voice to amortize on the budget but real tools, resources to operate to the best. From the trafilatura to the extrusion, from the dusts painting to the line of assemblage, from the mechanical workmanships to the electronics, every phase of the workmanship is taken place inside the firm, and it testifies the pride to introduce the product as made in Italy as Neolt. "All of our products are projected and internally realized to the firm. he/she affirms Sergio Ferrari. For us it surely concerns to motive for pride, because it not only allows us to be able to check every particular that composes our technologies, but it allows above all us to be able to guarantee the quality of the ended product. our personnel is very professional: about ten years ago we have decided riposizionare the firm toward the market of the high technology, and we have had to also complete clearly a breakthrough to productive level. You/he/she has been a painless passage, thanks really to the great availability of our employees and the wish to be proud of his/her own job." Today Neolt uses of a system of control quality extremely rigid and precise. Every component in entrance or gone out of the different departments you/he/she is checked, made a will and certified, and hand hand that the car takes form it has to overcome severe tests of functionality and reliability that concern every component. "From the simplest cars as the manual cutters, to the most complex systems as the printing UVs, our system of control doesn't change. he/she affirms Bruno Wijnands. All the parts that macaws produced inside the firm have to overcome severe very controls of quality. In this way we can proceed in the various phases of production knowing the history of every single component (recorded and numbered for being always traceable), making a will the functionality and the global quality of it. Every department has been in fact endowed with a system of recording that allows to bring every test effected inside a centralized database; this not only allows us to verify the quality of the components, but also to give the exact tempistica of production of each of the cars that we are building. And at the end of the productive trial, a department test puts on a trial basis every car verifying all the functionalities of it, before being packed and expeditious to the client." Thanks to this trial logically it is also gotten an economy of scale that allows the Neolt to offer rightly reliable technologies to extremely competitive prices. "To check every phase of production and every single component Sergio Ferrari. he/she offers the guarantee to have less confrontations in phase post climbs, and to also optimize the times of production having to progress continually verified and certified. If a component doesn't work, we know him/it even before to climb on her/it on the car, and therefore you/he/she can be substituted without the productive trial. And clearly this is not an indifferent economic advantage."

The visit to the firm concludes him to the new inside showroom, where all the cars are installed in production. "It is not the classical showroom, it is not a room demo. they confirm Ferrari and Wijnands. it is to place of comparison, of test, open to all the clients that desire to verify and to try the cars. It is a place where it gets dirty us the hands, where our technologies don't follow a standard routine of demonstration but where you/he/she can be experimented, to make a will materials and configurations verify the results. What I/you/he/she deal with a piegafogli or of the new Aster Jet with technology UV."

The time stays of only to exchange two words with Federica Pontiggia, president of the Neolt Spa. "In the last years we have chosen of riposizionare the firm toward the high technology. The tecnigrafis or the cutters keep on being present in our catalog as every other product that you/he/she has characterized us in the over 60 years of activity. But it is evident that the digital press and above all the technology UVs represent the challenge for the visual communication of today and of the next future, and it is a challenge that Neolt I believe has won. The great results testify him/it gotten during the Viscom 2009, where our systems have recorded extremely positive comments from clients and competitors. Surely the difficult economic situation doesn't help the sector and the consequent investments in technology from typographers and decorators, but we is extremely optimist for our future. Also for this, on the occasion of the Viscom, we have ufficializzato an accord that I hold it will bring enormous benefits to the firm. With Montplast, firm that well we know and with which have had always good relationships, we have in fact reached an accord of distribution in exclusive of our systems UV. This will allow us to be able to assemble even more us on what we know how to do better, or rather to produce, and at the same time also Montplast can offer a range of products of elevated quality and completely built in Italy. An advantageous accord for both therefore, but above all advantageous for the Italian market, that can finally count on a completely Italian structure with which to be able to talk, to program and to develop the proper business."
