Marco Massaro , CEO of Tecnova
Liontek is designed to work in-line and not in batches
The first Tecnova densifier ( 1997 )
nance of our machines have allowed us to become a global reference point with over 3,000 systems installed all over the world .” But Tecnova ‘ s real strength lies in the dedication to family values . In fact , the changeover from the founder Antonio Massaro to his son Marco is very recent , bringing new challenges and new opportunities for the future of the company . The founder relies on the experience and wisdom gained over the years , while the successor brings freshness and an innovative vision . A good example in this sense is the launch of the Liontek densifier , where past and present came together in a strategic project that has already proven successful . Presented for the first time to the international public during the K 2022 fair and introduced in
Italy on the occasion of Plast 2023 in Milan , Liontek enriches Tecnova ‘ s already vast portfolio of recycling equipment for plastics , including even highly contaminated ones . It is a closed-loop densifier designed to work in-line - and not in batches - post-consumer , post-industrial plastic material or material from washing plants . A project born in 1997 by the hand of Antonio Massaro , whose original drawings are still circulating in the company , but then abandoned over time due to other production priorities . And it is from this initial project that the technical department developed Liontek . In addition to completing the line-up currently available on the market under the Tecnova brand , this machine is aimed at national and international customers that already own products of the same
brand , new and old , but also at those working with systems from other manufacturers , since Liontek can be delivered as a stand-alone unit because it is perfectly compatible and be combined with other systems currently available on the market . „ Looking to a greener future “ is the company claim , a synthesis of the commitment to maintaining and exceeding the high standards that have made it a point of reference in the sector . The company will continue to invest in research and development , aiming to introduce even more advanced solutions to address the environmental challenges related to plastics . With a future-oriented vision and an unwavering commitment to sustainability , Tecnova is poised to add new histories of success to the global plastics recycling industry .
