Founded in 1993 in Badia Polesine ( near Rovigo ), today Filtec is a notable reality in the plastic treatment machinery sector , with wide production of pelletising and filtration technology . A 30-year history made up of research , commitment and professionalism that has enabled the company to prove itself as an exceptional partner and a guarantee of quality for its clients . Giovanni Baracco , son of the founder who is at the helm today tells us what Filtec really is and what the elements are that most closely characterise it .
FILTEC IN A NUTSHELL : HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE IT ? Passion , innovation and sustainability . At Filtec we work every day to enhance our skills and design increasingly highperformance solutions while doing good for the planet , with an eye to the implementation of eco-friendly solutions . An important commitment that rewards us in numbers , with
1,600 installations all over the world , 700 customers and 400 suppliers . These first 30 years represent a milestone for us but also a starting point that pushes us to continue to innovate , improve and invest in ourselves . We have done this recently , for example , by updating our website and promoting our activities also on social media . A conscious choice dictated by the complexity of a sector , such as the B2B , in continuous movement that understands the importance of having an increasingly direct and synergistic approach to its customers .
YOU TALKED ABOUT ATTENTION TO THE ENVIRONMENT : WHAT IS FILTEC ‘ S POSITION TOWARDS SUSTAINABILITY ? By our nature , we have always been on the side of plastic and above all of its conscious use ( and reuse ). It is no coincidence that this too often demonised material actually represents one of the best resources available to us ,
