PRODUCTION CYCLE
At the production plant in Civitanova Marche, the manufacturing cycle is highly automated. It uses computerized systems that ensure perfect replicability of the production recipes, precision weighing of the different substances involved in the production cycle and maximum safety in the handling of dangerous substances. All of this, in turn, guarantees the quality of the finished product, although – against a backdrop of ever-increasing automation – the checks carried out by the operators, who are knowledgeable, experienced and extremely attentive, remain essential.
Once the production phase per se has been completed, tests are conducted on each batch in order to verify that the product corresponds to the stated requirements. If the coating passes these quality-control tests, it is ready to be filtered and packaged for sale.
LOGISTICS
The warehouse in Civitanova Marche for the storage of finished products is the group’s outgoing logistics center, where products that have been sold are sorted in preparation for dispatch to the clients and stock is sent out to the depots and branches (which are located both within Italy and further afield). The facility makes it possible to accelerate the pace of the shipping, standardization and storage operations, minimize the order lead times, manage the packaged batches and optimize the supply levels. In addition, it also provides all-important real-time access to the inventory held at the central facility and at all of the branches.
ICA Group has always been able to guarantee high standards in terms of its short lead times and on-time deliveries, thanks also to this innovative logistical infrastructure.
