How we work
Our planning
Through extensive experience and a big flexibility of application, Due Emme offers a customized design service and adaptation of the manufacturing process to customer requirements, to provide thermoplastic components of the highest quality, safety and reliability.
Customers satisfaction, that is followed step by step in the creation and realization process of an article, is considered of primary importance. Moreover, the strategic and financial politics of the company, makes Due Emme very sensitive to the endless products evolution and enable to keep its prices to a competitive level.
Due Emme's strategic and financial policies make it very sensitive to the market changes of the raw materials and thermoplastic machineries and allows it to maintain its prices at a very competitive level, maintaining at the same time the high quality standards of Made in Italy.
The production process
To continue to be a pioneer in the field of thermoplastic components, the thermoplastic injection molding process is constantly updated, as Due Emme is regularly investing in new machineries and technologies, continuing to be a cutting edge firm.
Furthermore, the use of a production automated process allows to minimize the possibility of error and ensures a high and constant quality level of the finished product.
At the beginning of the production process, the raw material is aspired into a dehumidification system, which guarantees optimal drying for molding. Subsequently, through a system of pneumatic transport the thermoplastic material is brought to the correct machine, on which a group of volumetric coloring is installed, in order to color it in an homogeneous and continuous way.
One of the most complex process in the production process is the tool exchange, since the molds consist of huge and heavy steel blocks and they require plenty of time and attention to be moved. For this reason Due Emme has a bridge crane that allows to automate this procedure, making it quicker and less difficult.
The choice of the right machinery to use, finally, is to be made considering the tonnage, that refers to the molding closing force and to the size of the thermoplastic item.
Production process
Design
Due Emme supports customers from design till the last production phase of a new article's realization, paying maximum attention to the aesthetics, the functionality and the affordability of any single product.
In the market of thermoplastic components, Due Emme offers not only a finished product, but assists customers from its design till its realization. In fact, thanks to the use of new CAD programs, the firm is able to develop a 3D project and to crate prototypes that allow an effective evaluation of the aesthetic-functional aspects of the new product.
Whether it's a buckle, a hook, a button, a military component or a handle, for whatever sector ; a design of this type enables a fruitful exchange between the company and the customer, as well as great flexibility in editing projects, with positive effects on speed, interaction and dynamics.

Prototyping
Each new project is followed by the creation of a prototype to verify its effectiveness before proceeding with the construction of the mold.
Prototypes are made in different materials depending on the type of accessory and the aspect to be evaluated:
- AESTHETIC
- FUNCTIONAL
- CONCEPTUAL
Pre-series
In the event that the customer needs several pieces in order to evaluate the feasibility of a new project, it is possible to obtain small batches of prototypes in a short time using the Pre-series technology.
The needs can be innumerable: functional tests, presentation to the sales network, fairs and events, etc.
The quality
Made in Italy's high quality standards are considered of primary importance. Due Emme has always followed serious experimental procedures in the design phase and used conformity proofs to the technical specifications during production.
From the choice of raw materials to moulds manufacturing technology, till care of the production cycle, Due Emme's objective is to reach and maintain high quality levels, in order to guarantee our customers a valuable product that respects the required characteristics.
Due Emme's secret of success, since 1979, is the ability to give full attention to the thermoplastic components' sector, in which market scenarios are as important as details in every customer's project.
The quality control
Due Emme values the quality control of its thermoplastic products as of primary importance and verifies on a regular basis that the production batches are in compliance with the requirements. The company has indeed achieved both ISO 9001:2008 – the reference standard for quality management – and Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 testing certificates for harmful substances, which guarantes the absence of risks for human health.
Quality control is of main importance. That's why every batch is supervised from the beginning to the end of the production process, using statistics that allow to analyze the production cycle in real time.
The manager in charge of quality takes care of verifying conformity of products to the requested standards, through the use of technical specifications and data sheets for each thermoplastic component. Color tests are carried out to verify chromatic uniformity of the finished product, tensile resistance tests are made to check strength and functioning of every single item, and microscopic examinations take place to highlight any possible molding imperfection.
