The composite materials specialist

INTERNATIONAL ACADEMY
Udine, 27.05.2024
FAMILY BUSINESS. GLOBAL VISION

 Estabilished in 2001 in Udine, Friuli Venezia Giulia region, in the

North East of Italy

 Founded and managed by brothers Cecilia and Andrea Zampa,

currently controlling shareholders and Board Members

 Started with the production of the innovative glass fiber ‘green’

mesh (RI-STRUTTURA) for structural reinforcement,
TO IMPROVE BUILDINGS AND THEREFORE PEOPLE’S SAFETY

 Over 15.000.000 m² of walls in danger (>25.000 buildings)

reinforced so far!

 Today: a leading european player in composites engineering &

production for construction, infrastructure, industrial and airports
applications

WHAT ARE COMPOSITES?
 WHAT ARE COMPOSITES?

A composite material is a material which is produced from two or more

constituent materials.

These constituent materials have notably dissimilar chemical or physical

properties and are merged to create a material with properties unlike the
individual elements.

Within the finished structure, the individual elements remain separate and
distinct, distinguishing composites from mixtures and solid solutions.
