Brazzoli & Pafasystem Win ACIMIT Green Label Award
Sustainability has for years been the main focus of the research and innovation efforts of Italian manufacturers, who are committed to providing sustainable technology solutions both from an environmental and economic standpoint, solutions that are effective in cutting down on consumption and production costs.
As confirmed by Alessandro Zucchi, “ACIMIT has been committed to the issue of environmental and economic sustainability since 2010 with the “Sustainable Technologies” project, to which over 40 textile machinery manufacturers have joined.”
The press conference held by ACIMIT and Italian Trade Agency provided an opportunity to reward two ACIMIT member companies which in 2022 proved their virtuous qualities, by considerably reducing carbon footprint (CFP) emissions on their machinery.
Pafasystem S.r.l., a company based in Prato, produces spinning machines, and Brazzoli S.r.l., located in Senago (MI), which specializes in fabric dyeing technologies, both received an award for obtaining the best results expressed in terms of percentage CFP value reduction for their machinery, from among over 40 ACIMIT member companies adhering to the Sustainable Technologies project.
“With the Green Label Award, ACIMIT wants to reward manufacturers that have most distinguished themselves for their commitment within our project, as well as highlight what we have achieved as an industry on the issue of sustainability,” affirmed ACIMIT president Alessandro Zucchi, adding that, “I believe research into sustainable technology solutions is an essential theme for any textile firm wanting to respond to the demands of the market.”
The two winning companies duly expressed their satisfaction. Francesca Fani, CEO of Pafasystem stated that, “We’re honoured and grateful for the prize we’ve been awarded. The Italian Green Label Award is a recognition for the work put in by the whole our team at Pafasystem. We consistently work together as a unit to improve each and every day, with product innovations, optimizing our organization, rendering production processes more efficient, and through promoting sensitivity to issues of sustainability and the company’s social values. This prize we receive today will provide a great deal of motivation to offer to the international community and the whole of the textile district here in Prato – from which we were conceived by now over 60 years ago – a product and service that is increasingly modern and efficient, and above all more sustainable.”
Greta Banfi, the Technical Department Manager at Brazzoli pointed out that, “We joined to the Green Label project right from the beginning because we feel that Italian textile machinery manufacturers play a preeminent role in promoting new green technology trends. Brazzoli has always deemed foremost the reduction of consumption for its machinery, so that our Research and Development activity has always been focused on providing innovative and sustainable solutions.”
