6. 2. We control technology … and we make it more human 40 years in the manufacture of components, constantly improving, anticipating change and investing in the best technologies has made us more efficient and turned us into market leaders but…. … .we're better because we have a passion for what we do.
7. Our technology collaboration network is based around our own technology centres (Mondragon University, Polo Garaia, Ikerlan, Enerlan, etc.) and includes collaboration with European and American universities. This allows us to develop products such as electronic gas control systems, efficient induction and water-saving pumps for washing machines and dishwashers.
8. 3. We innovate … we even innovate innovation Ten years ago, when our boss got it into his head to set up an Innovation Department, our first question was whether Innovation was spelt with one 'n' or two. Copreci launches an average of 10 new products each year and has over 200 patents. These days, nobody has to ask how to spell 'innovation'.
9. At Copreci, we believe in innovation, actively managing it as part of a process, with the aim being continuous improvement, designing components that incorporate new features and making the end application easier to use. In addition, the use of new technologies means cost-saving in production with a more rational use and consumption of resources. New technologies: Flame ignition Flame detection Flame regulation New materials New processes Aluminium stamped Interchangeable process New functions focused on: Safety, Efficiency, Easy to use Electronic solutions
