1. Information Technology
All company departments are coordinated through the ERP SAP HANA management system, thus optimising production and operations management in all facilities.

In the R&D department, a team of Quality, Formulation, Regulatory Affairs and Sustainability experts designs the most advanced formulas.

The Marketing Department and the Sales Department manage the needs and wishes of customers, working out the best innovative solutions to meet their needs and ensure that products have everything they need to be successful.
