Protec is the result of the initiative of a group of professionals with experience of over 10 years in the outdoor sector.
The group is specialized in the planning of integrated systems of enhancing the area, in the planning and production of advertising billboards, supports of road signage and communication in urban and extra-urban areas as well as the ad hoc planning of installations and integrated signage systems and redevelopment of public and private spaces. Our objective is that of working in Italy and abroad with enhanced innovation and excellence of Italian design.
Research and avant-garde planning, the use of noble materials, industrial production systems with across-the-board large-scale standards: these are the prerogatives which have allowed Protec to guarantee the constant functional reliability and esthetics of the installations and all visible surfaces for decades.
Italian Design, International Reliability
Protec works both in Italy as well as abroad and highlights the innovation and excellence of “Made in Italy” design in large-scale projects which translate into products of higher quality.
This is the only true guarantee of success and competitive advantage.
The environmental factor is the element which, more than any other, defines a modern project standard and unites practicality and long-term reliability in every product with superior eco-compatibility of materials and production processes: it is no coincidence that Protec mainly utilizes extruded aluminum and aluminum fusion and directly follows each and every phase of production. The materials and systems of assembly and disassembly follow the recycling principles of the entire plant.
Quality, design and personalization are imperative for us!
The main characteristics of the products
INTEGRATION WITH INTELLIGENT URBAN INFORMATION SYSTEMS
There are many ways to use the installations as infrastructures for information services and digital communication.
The installations are able to support hot spot wireless, surveillance and traffic cameras, environmental sensors and emergency systems (SOS).
The materials used are able to “capture” and store sunlight or artificial light and then “release” it in the dark in decreasing intensity. Through this process, it is possible to manufacture products of any shape or size which are able to mirror light radiation. These photolumescent materials hold great application potential in the sign sector. They are not toxic or radioactive and the luminescence is available in various colours.
It is clear that billboards and signs are an important element in the manufacture of infrastructures which implement “smart city” technology.
ECO-FRIENDLY
The installations are conceived in order to make maintenance and modification extremely fast and simple, a factor which improves safety conditions of installation teams as well as those living in the urban area. The illumination uses LED technology. Research on renewable energy sources is opening up the possibility of manufacturing installations using innovative systems of autonomous electrical energy supply. This means that even without an electrical connection, it is possible to supply the above information and communication services through stand alone production and storage. In order to optimize available surfaces without adding traditional solar panels, systems based on organic transparent solar panels (which can also be used as a protective material) are being evaluated. Because they are not visually invasive, these products can be used on a wide scale (some are used in construction as windows) as coverings of specialist equipment.
PRACTICALITY OF USE
The installations are conceived in order to make maintenance and modification extremely fast and simple, a factor which improves safety conditions of installation teams as well as those living in the urban area. There are many advantages of using surface treatment technology. Hybrid materials (organic and non organic) are now ever more widely used as raw materials thanks to their excellent characteristics. Indeed, they allow for the unification of the typical characteristics of materials such as silicone (scratch and wear resistance and chemical resistance) with those of organic resins (flexibility and durability). Production processes allow these materials to be enhanced with noteworthy adhesive characteristics which are ideal for the production of multifunction coverings in various industrial settings. Further features such as water, dirt and graffiti resistance, can be added to the material through specific manufacturing processes.
Through this technology, we produce transparent protective and wear resistant coverings with anti-dirt, anti-graffiti and anti-corrosion features.
HIGHWAY – The right direction to the future
This line, compared to traditional iron/aluminum road sign installations, introduces a modern visual indication standard as well as solid technology with new technical and mechanical solutions including anti-vandalism. Highway is the ideal solution for businesses and companies interested in communicating with road users while improving general esthetics.
