TECHNOLOGIES

Operational since 1981, the Limena plant is split into diffe-

rent production areas, each one specialized in a specific

type of manufacturing.

MECHANICS

The transformation of metals currently covers about

70% of our production activities, with the use of different

technologies, from cold pressing, cutting and bending

of plate to welding of carbon and stainless steel, epoxy

powder coating and assembly. The entire production pro-

cess makes large use of industrial automation and robo-

tic systems for manipulation and logistics. An integrated

company information system monitors the organization of

the production process, starting from production analysis

and programming up to sales of finished products. This

information structure is supported by our Data Processing

Service, which satisfies special information requirements

by implementing and developing in-house part of the sof-

tware for specific purposes.

PLASTIC MATERIALS

In the early 90’s Elbi decided to expand into a new line

of production with the manufacture of plastic materials,

obtaining remarkable results in terms of technological in-

novation. In 1996 Elbi became a member of ARM (As-

sociation of Rotational Moulders), an international trade

organization that gathers rotational moulders and industry

professionals from 66 countries worldwide. The rotomoul-

ding department is equipped with 9 rotational moulding

oven-machines, 7 at the central plant and 2 at the new

Modugno (Bari) plant. The biggest machine, which is one

of the largest of its kind in Europe, has a moulding ca-

pacity of 15,000 litres. Thanks to the rotational moulding

technology Elbi manufactures a wide range of non-toxic

recyclable polyethylene products: in addition to storage

tanks (water, food industry and chemical liquids as well as

other types of fluids).

Elbi designs and manufactures design furnishing objects,

pots for plants and fl owers, doghouses bell receptacles

for sorted waste disposal, dumpsters for solid urban wa-

ste and composters for organic waste conversion, thus

contributing to the reduction of environmental pollution.
