Pedini Is Expanding, In Spite Of The World Economy
In these times of great financial difficulty and uncertainty, Pedini SpA has chosen to face the economic crises rather than be victimized by it. Pedini will continue as planned, with its long term investment strategy.
In addition to the ongoing expansion of product offerings and the world-wide customer base growth, Pedini has made a major investment in the expansion of its production facility and adding an additional 18,500 square meters (approx 200,000 sq. Ft.) to its present facilities, of which 8,500 square meters (approx 91 ,500 sq. ft.) are buildings and 800 square meters (approx 8,600 sq. Ft.) is destined to become a new showroom.
The new showroom will allow Pedini to display their entire product offerings, under one roof and to enable its clients to ‘touch and feel' the Pedini quality, while they are visiting the factory.
Pedini also invested in modern machinery that will speed up the production process, will improve the products quality control and will allow an even more automated production line, than the much automated one used till now.
In addition, the new computerized production line will decrease the possibility of damages and errors and will improve the employees work conditions. The new line will independently move the packaged product all the way to the truck or container automatically.
The expansion has been just completed and the new machinery will be installed next month (May, 2010). Pedini is scheduled to start production, in the new facility, in September and to have everything at ‘full speed' by January of 2011.
Pedini Invested in a Solar Energy System
To produce 1 kWh of electric energy (the amount of electricity required to burn a 100 watt light bulb for 10 hours) we burn around 2,6 kWh in the form of fossils combustible, which in turn releases to the atmosphere 0,532 kg of carbonic anhydride (CO2) resulting in substantial increase of the greenhouse effect.
An alternative source, to the traditional production of electric energy is produced by renewable and sustainable energy sources - sources that do not harm the natural resources for future generations. The sun, the wind, the sea, the earth's heat etc., are considered renewable sources.
The Solar Energy System converts solar radiation into direct current electricity, which is favoured by Governments that have the necessity to reduce the greenhouse effect under the parameters of the Kyoto protocol.
Pedini SpA, who have been adhering to environmentally friendly practices in their production line for many years, has just invested in a Solar Energy System that will generate an annual production of 250.000 kw. The benefit - during the life of this system (30 years), a saving equal to 3.990.000 kg of CO2 that would have been released into the atmosphere!
The new system will be installed by July of 2010 and will have zero environmental impact, be cause the panels will be integrated into the roof of the new production facility.
At the completion of the new system installation, Pedini will publish the photos and send to all their clients a link, with a digital panel, where one will be able to view the actual production of electric energy and the saving of CO2 in real time.

"When the owners of this NYC dwelling decided to move their primary residence from the New Jersey suburbs to their city apartment, they had to capitalize on much-needed space. Since they love to entertain and have a large family who visits often, they purchased the two adjacent apartments and combined the space into one large dwelling. One of the first challenges was to enlarge the standard city kitchen to create an epicurean creation to suit their needs.
