These strategic investments are poised to revolutionize their production capacity, enabling them to triple their output. With exponential growth projected at an impressive rate of approximately 50% annually, CS Wind is confident in the remarkable opportunities that lie ahead.

”Our orders were booming, and we saw few options to optimize our production system. We were confident that thanks to Faccin’s experience the partnership would be synonymous with success,” explains CS Wind PT Management Team.   

With the strong rapport established over time, it was easier to analyze project specifications and focus on real production requirements. This resulted in a seamless decision-making process and swift execution of the new rolling line.

This new equipment has been meticulously designed and engineered entirely at Faccin’s factory in Visano (BS), Italy. Even in the face of a demanding timeline, the wind rolling system was flawlessly delivered, installed, and successfully put into operation without any delays.

”Commissioning and installation also have occurred according to a tight schedule and FACCIN engineers ensure to involve CS Wind PT operators and maintenance team for the purpose of training to guarantee excellent performances,” added CS Wind PT Management Team.

”Four years ago, we successfully delivered our first supply to CS Wind PT in Portugal, it was an immense pride to be commissioned a second unit, fully equipped with state-of-the-art technology for automatic rolling of cans and cones. In the highly competitive wind market, we perfectly understand our customers’ needs to optimize cycle time and maximize productivity. By making the decision to invest once again, CS Wind PT reaffirms its trust in technological advancements and the reliability of our entire organization,” comments Faccin Group.
