Gian Luca Falletti with the invention perfected by his company
Important recognition for the company 'Nanoprom Chemicals s.r.l' of Sant'Antonino di Casalgrande which ranked first in the fourth edition of the 'Open Innovative Pmi Award', event conceived and organized by Grant Thornton with the aim of rewarding innovative Italian small and medium-sized enterprises. The Reggio-based chemical company stood out in the environmental sustainability category for the design and manufacture of masks with a much lower impact than traditional ones.
In particular, the commitment to fight Covid was rewarded for the great attention to the ecological aspect. Nanoprom Chemicals operates in the research and industrial application of nanomaterials and develops nanotechnologies at the service of highly specialized industries: developed Polysil, material appreciated for its resistance and used in various sectors from Formula 1 to the naval industry, passing through the military field.
The owner Gian Luca Falleti makes it known that the company produces surgical masks, antiviral films and surgical stamps for Ffp2 masks with valve with distribution through contracts with the Civil Protection and with companies throughout Italy.
Eight million of these stamps pollute like a million surgical masks today. Obviously a very useful and commendable aspect for respecting the environment in this difficult period.
"The company - says Gian Luca Falleti, CEO of Nanoprom Chemicals - is honored to receive this recognition which testifies to the commitment made to face the Covid emergency starting from the production of low-cost masks when it was a problem to find them on the market up to the commitment in the search for innovative solutions to support the community in slowing down the spread of the infection ".
Falleti underlines the commitment to research carried out with a project funded by the Region for the design of adhesive films with antiviral surfaces that, applied on commonly used surfaces, they drastically reduce the viral load of the virus, thus decreasing the possibility of spreading the infection. The charitable activity that has been promoted in recent months with donations also arriving in the Reggio area is worthy of note. “We gave - explains Falleti - more than 300 thousand masks throughout Italy also destined for the Red Cross of various sections. Now they are donated to families with children for practical help. In March we immediately started with a project not to raise the prices of the masks ". The owner Faletti expresses gratitude to all the Nanoprom staff and thanks Eng. Luciano Macera and Dr. Luisa Pecorari who supported the company in the research and development of innovative products.
