Over the past two years the fastener industry has seen a significant surge in sustainability innovations. TECNOLOGIC 3^® is therefore committing to its environmental responsibility by phasing out high CO₂ emitting products and investing in its eco-friendly products.

In order to achieve this goal TECNOLOGIC 3^® has invested in low emission machinery; technologies to minimise high impact materials; as well as in further reducing its carbon emissions by replacing high CO₂ emitting products in favour of environmentally friendly and healthier alternatives.

This includes its commitment to water-based products for an eco-sustainable and ‘reduced impact’ product. Through innovative chemistry, specific industrial production, and advanced applications, TECNOLOGIC 3^® is an undisputed player in the market for reactive and non-reactive coatings for fasteners dedicated to automotive and other industries. These water-based solutions have the ability to reduce the impact on the environment that the extensive use of solvents is having on the planet. In addition to the environmental benefits gained, the water-based solution is also physiologically and toxicologically harmless. 

“In addition, all water-based formulated products promote significant cost and energy reductions and allow the use of products, and application systems, to help reduce the impact on the environment and living things,” underlines the company.

TECNOLOGIC 3^® is able to tailor products using customisation processes to transform every request into an innovation opportunity, as well as turning research and development into a cycle of experimentation and learning, which yields field-tested solutions in its laboratories. 

With its own in-house research laboratory that supports all development activities on products – ensuring complete dominance in application, development and technology – a specialised team strives to innovate and offer continuous support to the activities of more than 300 different customers. Market demands and new industry perspectives, such as specific performance and eco-compatibility, are the guidelines in the design and implementation of new products and preparations, which the R&D centre processes in three stages – laboratory research, application development, as well as testing and certification by relevant bodies.

This not only ensures product effectiveness but also drives the continuous evolution of company expertise – a mindset that has been a hallmark of TECNOLOGIC 3^® since its inception. This ethos also extends to employee care, currently addressed through a welfare bonus scheme and supplementary health care – with potential for future enhancements.

TECNOLOGIC 3^® concludes: “Future goals include strengthening our position by expanding into non-European markets, such as America. This presents an opportunity to export our Italian and European vision of product and process sustainability, promoting a business approach that TECNOLOGIC 3^® deeply values. Moreover, it offers the chance to gain insights into new challenges that, while currently peripheral, could become pivotal for both the company’s and industry’s future.”
