The new film coating production facility, Aquarela, at the Incotec site in Holambra, Brazil, is officially opened. The expansion is a response to the growing demands of the film coating market.
This is a strategic investment for Incotec, which is not only about increasing capacity to support business growth. It also underscores their commitment to safety for employees and for the environment and secures our ability to deliver the highest quality product to an increasingly discerning market. "With Aquarela, we have successfully combined cutting-edge technology with maximum sustainability," the team says.
Sustainability is key
The new factory has an area of 900m², is fully automated, and is equipped with modern technology. Sustainability is key and has been maximized wherever possible. An example is the modern cleaning system, known as the CIP system (Cleaning in Place), which radically reduces the use of water. Photovoltaic panels have been installed to produce energy on-site, meeting up to 95% of the energy demands, and plan to cover 100%, with the expectation of saving up to 95mt CO2 per year. The project also includes a rainwater reservoir, which will be used to irrigate Incotec's gardens.
Product quality and delivery efficiency
Bruno Hoeltgebaum Neto, Global Sales Director Incotec: "With this new plant, we have refined our product quality, which was already highly rated by customers, as well as our delivery capacity and speed, but we have also taken a huge step towards greater sustainability. We always look for the most sustainable solutions to help our customers achieve their goals."
