Persico Research & Development department, as the other divisions, is planted in Nembro town (Bergamo province), it is born in the second half of 2007 with the intent to promote the study of technological innovations to improve existing products, to create new ones and to upgrade production processes.
Persico looks forward and tends to long term activities; its main objective is to obtain, through dialogue with current or potential clients and thanks to its know-how, a product ad hoc.

With the support of rotational moulding machines (both Leonardo and traditional) and of automatic lines (ovens, presses, foaming plants, cutting and finishing plants) which are realised and dedicated for this department, each division is able to follow the product development since the design until its finishing in all detail. Thus we can help the client in making his choices allowing him to directly handle the prototype of his future product.

In this department Persico can also test the moulds produced by all other divisions and it can produce the pre-series (from 200 to 1000 pieces) in order to test mould functionality and to reduce the time for getting the first samples for fairs or for the final client, which in turn needs to optimize his production times.

Further, Persico is a member of the Intellimech Consortium, a R&D scientific partner inside Kilometro Rosso. In this way Persico collaborates in innovative projects, contributing with its skills.
Intellimech is a consortium of companies, promoted by Kilometro Rosso, Confindustria Bergamo and Servitec, aimed at interdisciplinary researches in mechatronics, including the advanced electronic design, computer science, ICT systems and mechanics for applications in various industrial sectors.
