Trentino Sviluppo

The challenge that Matteo Plotegher and Luca Targher are facing together with their two co-workers in Rovereto is the one thrown by industrial metrology, which is used in factories to avoid manufacturing defects. The company deals with the measurement of parts and manufacturing processes, lending a helping hand to companies wishing to avoid production scraps and manufacture high-quality products for an increasingly demanding market.
“We aim at perfection in order to ensure quality and competitiveness for our clients and allow them to enter new markets” say Matteo and Luca, who are in charge respectively of the sales department for the Triveneto area and the management of the Carl Zeiss Italia headquarters in Rovereto.
To achieve this goal, the client businesses provide 3D and 2D reference models and then, using Zeiss machinery, they test - with contact tests, X-rays or laser tests - if the parts of their models are within the required tolerance limits. These tests and measurement deliver useful results for the production of thorough reports on the size and shape of industrial parts and products.
“In Trentino-Alto Adige, one of our major clients - highlights Matteo Plotegher - is Roechling Automotive, a company leader in the manufacturing of car interiors. They need an extremely high measurement precision to perform a perfect assembly. Furthermore, we operate also in other industries: from aerospace to biomedicine, from traditional mechanical parts to the blades of aircraft turbines”.
Finally, the company is involved also in reverse engineering, scanning and copying designed parts in order to engineer and duplicate them using mechanical systems.
“Zeiss has opened up new markets to us - explains Matteo Plotegher - and if they decided to stay in Trentino, away from the big economic hubs of Italy, it’s probably because of the economic support, the infrastructure, and the networking possibilities offered by Trentino Sviluppo”.
