In 1998 the company starts producing cooling pads as a necessary complement for the fans in the poultry segment (70/90 cooling pad) and later on starts producing 50/90 cooling pads which are mainly addressed for providing humidification in other industries, rather than poultry (e.g. industrial, and others). According to the philosophy of the company and its innovative spirit in 2004 a new Cooling & Darkening pad is patented.

This product is still today unique and exclusive all over the world. This special z-pattern pad combines a higher cooling efficiency, compared to the classic pattern cooling pads, together with a darkening property that doesn’t allow light passage and increases performance with a lower pressure loss.

The success of the fans production is motivated by the quality of the products provided: robustness, durability, easy maintenance and performance (airflow and energy efficiency) have always been the key drivers on which the company has been building its reputation for more than 25 years.

In March 2015 the co-founder Antonio Gigola decides to retire from work and new partners (a group of entrepreneurs from Brescia) joined the company. The other former partner Mr. Adino Gritti, chief of pad production and the co-founder Mr. Giuseppe Riccardi chief of fans production are still working within the company. Mr. Pietro Seccamani Mazzoli is appointed as the new CEO.

In January 2016 the company decides to further improve the quality of its cooling pads by introducing a new resin having better features in terms of resistance to the sun exposure and environmental impact. This new formula is adopted on all the cooling pads under production.

In December 2016 a new fan called HP140, with better performances in terms of capacity and efficiency, especially in sheds with high pressures, is launched with an immediate response from the market.

In February 2017 a new cooling pad called 70/60 (angles 45/15) is released. It is an alternative to the existing pads 70/90 (angles 45/45) and indicated to reduce pressure drops.
