EXTRUSION BLOW MOLDING MOLDS

COLLABORATOR - EURECAT

Eurecat is the main partner of Catalan technology companies, responding to needs for innovation, and driving and enhancing companies’ competitive edge. Eurecat also serves as the natural bridge between the world of knowledge and the economic fabric.

Mostly private, the board consists of representatives of institutions and benchmark companies in different strategic sectors that represent the Catalan economy.

Conceived with the mission of becoming a key agent in public-private cooperation within the area of research and innovation, Eurecat is one of the main players involved in the implementation of Catalonia’s technological strategy, which was officially formalized as RIS3CAT.

Eurecat is powered by alliances with main players in innovation, both nationally and internationally.

Eurecat has developed advanced and clean fabrication technologies and production processes that enable manufacturers to improve their productivity (production speed, precision in operating, and material and energy consumption) and the management of waste and pollution from a life-cycle perspective.

As a result of its specialization and experience, Eurecat received the support of the ACCIÓ agency (Government of Catalonia) as a coordinating institution of the RIS3CAT Community for Advanced Manufacturing in the area of industrial systems.
