From its inception, the company embraced the vision of a future in which composites would revolutionise several industries.<br \/>\nIn the 1970s, the world of composites was still in its infancy, and the owner seized the opportunity to be one of the first to explore and exploit the revolutionary potential of these materials. With a vision for the future and a firm determination, he began experimenting and working with various types of materials, trying to fully understand their characteristics and potential. Driven by the founder&#8217;s passion for innovation, the company has continued to invest in research and development by collaborating with industry experts and using state-of-the-art technology. In this way, Mates can ensure that the products it brings to market are always up to the most demanding technical challenges.<\/p>\n<p>Over the years, the market has rewarded the company&#8217;s activities, allowing it to grow steadily. On the occasion of its thirtieth year of activity, the new Segrate premises were inaugurated, which led to an important expansion of the equipment and facilities for the service offered to customers and collaborators. A usable covered surface area of more than 4000 square metres has made it possible to install three new industrial machines specifically for cutting to size and packaging films and reinforcements, two automatic machines for cutting structural cores into panels, a negative temperature cold room and two positive temperature cold rooms with a total refrigerated surface area of approximately 230 square metres. The three goods storage warehouses are kept at a controlled temperature to minimise the risk of deterioration of the contained products. The office building has been completely renovated with the intention of minimising environmental impact and has been equipped with an internal bar\/recreation room. The new building also houses a laboratory equipped with the latest testing machinery and an entire room used exclusively for workshops and technical\/practical product lessons, capable of accommodating up to 40 people.<\/p>\n<p>Continuous improvement in internal processes and the constant search for cutting-edge solutions has led Mates today to be a leader in the industry, offering state-of-the-art products and solutions that meet the needs of a constantly evolving market.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div><div  class='hr av-av_hr-91d7ccd583a503147498e120fee2ff9b hr-default  avia-builder-el-3  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_icon_box '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><\/p>\n<article  class='iconbox iconbox_left_content av-lm12o0x1-87e7e2e5cf8f82dccc2ea01d46832393  avia-builder-el-4  el_after_av_hr  el_before_av_hr ' ><div class='iconbox_icon heading-color avia-iconfont avia-font-entypo-fontello' data-av_icon='\ue80b' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello'  ><\/div><div class=\"iconbox_content\"><header class=\"entry-content-header\" aria-label=\"Icon: Coming together is a beginning, staying together is progress, and working together is success\"><h3 class='iconbox_content_title ' >Coming together is a beginning, staying together is progress, and working together is success<\/h3><\/header><div class='iconbox_content_container ' ><p>Henry Ford<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><footer class=\"entry-footer\"><\/footer><\/article>\n<div  class='hr av-av_hr-91d7ccd583a503147498e120fee2ff9b hr-default  avia-builder-el-5  el_after_av_icon_box  el_before_av_one_full '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div  class='flex_column av-av_one_full-7714eba142aeda1f8b5272a3c372b279 av_one_full  avia-builder-el-6  el_after_av_hr  avia-builder-el-last  first flex_column_div  '     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_image-627b88610d13058e409a3c8447f0dce9\">\n.avia-image-container.av-av_image-627b88610d13058e409a3c8447f0dce9 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-av_image-627b88610d13058e409a3c8447f0dce9 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-av_image-627b88610d13058e409a3c8447f0dce9 av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-7  avia-builder-el-no-sibling '  ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-17531 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-17531 avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/www.mates.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/mates_storia.png\" alt='mates_storia' title='mates_storia'  height=\"325\" width=\"1500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mates.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/mates_storia.png 1500w, https:\/\/www.mates.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/mates_storia-300x65.png 300w, https:\/\/www.mates.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/mates_storia-1030x223.png 1030w, https:\/\/www.mates.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/mates_storia-768x166.png 768w, https:\/\/www.mates.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/mates_storia-705x153.png 705w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Founded in Milan in 1978 by Massimiliano Antonini Mates was among the first companies in Italy to develop and market products for the production of composite material components.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":17531,"parent":8736,"menu_order":1,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-8740","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mates.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/8740","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mates.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mates.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mates.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mates.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8740"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.mates.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/8740\/revisions"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mates.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/8736"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mates.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17531"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mates.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8740"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
