Paolo Arrigoni:
"Technological progress of the past decade pushes evolution"
"The huge technological progress of the past decades pushed all sectors to evolve, linking the increase in performance with weight loss. This is true for some technological applications for everyday use such as mobile phones, whose weight has dropped over time while their potential has increased. Just think that my first mobile phone in the early 1990s was practically a small piece of furniture weighing 3.5 kg," explains Paolo Arrigoni, CEO of the Lombard company, a leader in the production of high-resistance long-lasting nets and fabrics.
"The same can be said for cars, as increasingly lightweight metal alloys have been used until carbon fibre was introduced, halving the weight to the advantage of performance. In addition, nowadays, lightness is synonym of technology with a reduced environmental impact, as it entails a measured and more efficient use of resources."
A leading manufacturer of high-tech protection nets for open fields and protected crops, Arrigoni supplies the best technical solutions against the weather and biological aggression factors such as invading insects, not to mention the fact that they are lightweight and enable improved aeration.

"A controlled environment enables growers to improve productivity and yields while at the same time increasing the profits. the latest agro-textiles make all this possible while using less water and, most important of all, less pesticides."
"Nevertheless, the increasing number of solutions available to protect crops against external aggression factors goes hand in hand with the interest for fabrics that are lighter and provide better aeration. Whether working with open fields or protected crops, providing improved aeration and lightness is nowadays essential for the success of a crop."
Arrigoni group's R&D department focuses on developing new material and production techniques to meet these complex market needs. Distributed in over 70 countries worldwide, the Arrigoni agro-textiles that best combine these characteristics are the Biorete range against insects in protected crops, the Biofield range for organic protection and multifunctional Arricover screens (both for open-field crops).
"The Biorete range achieved excellent results. Developed to protect crops against small insects such as Bemisia tabaci, Biorete 50 Mesh Airplus provides 30% more aeration while weighing 35% less than Biorete 50 Mesh. This leads to significant benefits for the health of crops, their vigour and shelf-life."
