Film Producer and Print Business Overcomes Factory Floor Challenges with Stonhard Solutions

Products used: Stonclad GS • Stonkote HT4  Texture 2 

Application area: Factory floor

A prominent film producer and printed finished products business in Chieti, Italy, faced significant operational challenges due to the lack of adequate flooring in their expansive 10,000 m² factory.

Problem

Initially without a resin floor, the company experienced frequent machinery breakdowns and various operational issues directly tied to their existing concrete flooring. The existing concrete flooring could not handle the rigorous demands of the factory environment. The concrete surface failed to provide necessary protection against corrosive substances such as oils, which led to repeated machinery malfunctions and operational inefficiencies. The unfinished surface directly contributed to a loss of productivity and unplanned downtime. Therefore, the company turned to Stonhard Italy to provide a robust flooring solution capable of protecting their factory floor for many years.   

Solution

Stonhard Italy's commercial manager proposed a comprehensive flooring solution tailored to the specific needs of the factory. The recommended products were:

• Stonclad GS: A high-performance resin flooring system designed for durability and resistance to corrosive chemicals.
• Stonkote HT4 with Texture 2: A topcoat that adds an extra layer of protection while enhancing the floor's texture for improved safety.

The implementation of Stonhard’s flooring solutions has significantly enhanced the factory's operational efficiency and safety. The new resin floor now effectively safeguards against corrosive oil spills, reducing machinery downtime and creating a safer workspace for employees.

The customer expressed high satisfaction with the results, noting a marked improvement in the overall functionality and safety of their production facility.

Stonhard Italy's expertise in industrial flooring continues to help businesses across various market sectors achieve operational excellence through tailored, durable flooring solutions.
