RIBA Composites has always been committed to research with the aim of improving available technology, developing and experimenting new products and tecniques; the goal is to provide a satisfactory answer to the many diverse demands of innovation and improvement that arise in the strongly innovative and technological sector of composites material.
Continuous and intense research and experimentation work is one of RIBA's strengths.
Strategic activity at our research and development centre aims to design and create new products, adhering to RIBA's quality beliefs.
Alongside research activities, RIBA makes consistent investments to apply the demands associated with the creation of new products and processes to its entire production line.
In this way, specifically studied technology and machinery are created, as unique solutions for the most unique demands. The investments that RIBA has made over the past years allow it to use the most modern equipment and the most advanced calculation software in the sector.
For RIBA, Research and Development is a strategic choice founded on the belief that the true competitive advantage for a company that operates in such a dynamic and heavily expanding sector as composite materials is that of being at the technological forefront in relation to its competitors.
RIBA carries out research activities in collaboration with the most renowned Italian research institutes (e.g.: ISTEC-CNR, University of Bologna, University of Genoa) and is committed to the development of new technologies and products. This development is divided into two levels:
1. development of processes (new production technologies)
2. development of products (new materials)
