"A PERSICO MAN " ON US Soil - The advantages of CNC molds
Persico S.p.A. has been making cast aluminium molds for rotational molding since 1976. In 2001 , in order to accommodate tighter tolerances, shorter lead times and provide a higher quality mold they began to develop their capability to produce machined molds using CNC equipment. The success of this endeavour has led to the growth of the CNC process within Persico to the point were 2008 saw 65% of their production consisting of machined molds. Based on this success, primarily with European customers, they decided to expand their market by more actively promoting this capability in the USA where the demand for CNC tooling and quick turnaround is critical. In order to facilitate superior customer service Persico will locate a new sales manager in Ohio to allow for increased availability to the customers and enhanced customer support. Mr Sergio Zilioli began his career at Persico in 1997 as a toolmaker in the Automotive Division, after about 2 years he was assigned the task of sales assistant for Italy, in 2001 he joined the Rotational Division as foreign sales manager, responsible for North and East Europe areas, Germany and the rest of the world. His new assignment, beginning in January 2009, will be to expand the customer base within the United States based on Persico's ability to deliver high quality molds rapidly. "We have already delivered CNC molds that are exceeding the expectations of some forward looking molders in America. Given this early success in the US and the results obtained in Europe over the past few years we are confident that the entire U.S. rotomolding community can benefit from our experience with this new technology. .... >>> DOWNLOAD PDF >

Powder Impression Molding (PIM) Technology is based on the use of thermoplastic that came from of the re-using of grilled mixed plastic waste or virgin polymers. That polymers are directly poured in the open moulds warmed and cooled with a specific technique. This technology is very interesting for many application because there is the possibility to add fillers, support elements or to use different materials in a demi-mould or in the other. This technology is patented from EPT plc that has an exclusive agreement with Persico spa for the development and the industrialization of the process. The equipment used in the processing operation is designed and supplied following a modular conception that allows achieving maximum flexibility and productive efficiency. This is only one of the examples of Persico’s ongoing commitment in the search for new technologies to be developed together with the customer, to confront a market that is evolving incessantly.

For Persico Rotational division we mention several projects for equipments and moulds with the patented technology "Leonardo" realized in Europe, Australia and USA, various developments as the joined Patent Total-Persico to produce fuel tanks with low permeability. The Leonardo technology also realizes multi-layers products with uniform thickness and without the intervention of some operator. The precise control of the inside mould temperature and of the cycle time that Leonardo furnishes, allow us to perform other materials besides the classical polyethylene like PA6, ABS, PP, PU and PC. >>> DOWNLOAD PDF >
