The important and constant growth of Cobofra in recent years has led the owners to define a policy of infrastructural expansion, with the expansion of the production units of the headquarters based in Legnaro (PD). The intervention, which sees the development of a third wing of the plant, soon to be completed, will allow the best management of the group's entire production: 7000 square meters of surface area developed on two floors between production departments, technical and management departments, dedicated to the four sectors (controllers, inverters, cabling and lighting). An increase in plants to guarantee a service and respond to an increasingly high demand. The industrial area will, therefore, expand the spaces for the production of electrical cables, strips, and LED profiles, sectors that today are booming and constantly updated. Research on the "solid light" is a continuous work in progress towards technologically advanced solutions that are increasingly biologically compatible with man, the built, and the natural environment.
With this, Cobofra focuses on the sustainable circularity of production, after-sales service, and recovery/recycling of the precious materials that make up the products in the catalog. Research on phosphors and the miniaturization of components are the new frontiers of the group's products. The group is also implementing the Giada System management system, which is increasingly advanced and high-performance for intelligent light management.
The plant enlargement will have little impact on production. It will allow the technological infrastructures to be better organized to meet customer needs and implement the numerous inputs received in recent years. These include the need for a 5.0-level operational, storage, and assembly space in the company. This means producing using the latest technologies and including all the socio-environmental problems generated by the fourth industrial revolution. Industry 5.0 can be defined as a "completion of industry 4.0". Industry 5.0 is the so-called Collaborative Industry, i.e., a business model characterized by human-machine cooperation to give added value to production by creating customized products that respect the needs of consumers and the environment. This natural evolution of Industry 4.0 is based on developing increasingly powerful 4.0 technologies, particularly in ICT (Information and Communication Technologies), Artificial Intelligence, and robotics. Looking at these developments, Cobofra is preparing to face an increasingly fast and competitive market, providing precise, adequate, and concrete answers.
