Green Approach- Officine Cucini

Vittore Cucini is a farmer’s son, therefore he has a Green DNA. He loves the land and this origin has led him to always respect and protect the environment, always having a green approach in every business decision. But what is Officine Cucini’s green approach?

Especially when in 1963 he decided to throw himself into the world of mechanics and bodywork, he did so by founding a different workshop. In many ways ambitious and pioneering for that historical period. From the first years of activity, Vittore will make very specific choices that never forget his origin and attachment to the land.

If you are born and grow up in Tuscany, surrounded by green hills, rows of cypresses and agricultural fields, you can not help but look for solutions that today we proudly define eco- sustainable, but which back then seemed anomalous and against the flow.

Today we know that we priority of every company in the world is to minimize its environmental impact and to eliminate its ecological footprint as much as possible for the protection of the planet.

Visiting the Officine Cucini in Barberino Val d’Elsa you will discover that the entire production process is characterized by a green approach.

What is this green approach though?

Let’s start with the powder coating of all the different components of the body and tipper fittings. Cucini’s painting system is environmentally friendly and state-of-the-art. Powder coating is a process of coating metal surfaces with an organic film, carried out for the purpose of protection against corrosion and aggressive agents.

All the various components before being painted, are passed into a washing system that allows you to have clean pieces always in excellent condition and free of any particle even minimal dirt or various powders that could ruin or not adhere properly the paint.

Moreover the workpieces are covered with a special paint powder based on synthetic resisns (for example epoxy powders), which adheres by electrostatic effect, and then passed into the oven. Here, thanks to the high temperature, the paint first melt and then polymerizes thus giving a perfectly layer to the component. Compared to traditional painting, powder painting is certainly more resistant and durable over time.

“The use of these special powder coatings- says Simona Cucini, commercial director and owner of the family business- allows us not to use sovents and to minimize the environmental impact of our production, also protecting our workers”.
