Our evolution ## More than 50 years writing our story 1987 We set out to lead the Argentine industry. We started with manual processes and then built our current plant, implementing an ERP system to improve operational management. 1990 Through trips to Japan and Taiwan, we acquired knowledge of the Toyota model and technologies such as CNC and quality control systems, beginning our technological and cultural transformation. 1990/2000 We consolidated our innovation by implementing CNC and Lean methodologies, optimizing our production. We obtained international certifications that strengthened our Mercosur presence and patented key technologies for the bedding industry. 2008 We incorporated advanced technologies, developing electrical coils for electricity meters together with ABB. 2011 We expanded our production internationally, entering the spring market for aerosol valves and atomizing pumps. This period drove our digitization and adoption of Big Data to improve decision-making. 2023 In 2023 we were selected as the best supplier in LATAM, a recognition that reaffirms our commitment to excellence and service in every one of our projects. 2024 With cutting-edge technology, robotics, automation and real-time data, we continue to bet on innovation, adding 3D machinery and artificial intelligence to optimize our processes.
