Production system
Automation
Bitron HVAC Systems uses the best
automatic production lines to offer
customers products with low failure
rates and the highest quality. System Integration
Our components and systems
represent a combination of functions
and performances, as well as quality
and cost targets de!ned together
with our customers. Customer orientation is not only
designing and manufacturing what
clients already have, it is also
designing and manufacturing what
clients need and dream to have. We
constantly look at applications in the
!eld to !nd out what we could do
more or better. Plastic Injection
Plastics are widely used in the
modern world and it is hard to
imagine our life without them. The
!rst human made plastic part was
invented by Alexander Parkes in
1855 and since that time plastics have
jumped to the No.1 material used,
by weight, in the past century. With
more than 300 injection presses in
the Group and close to 100 only in
the Collegno site, plastic injection
8
molding is one of the many core
competences of Bitron Group. We
also have two departments for
injection tools: one is in Elbi
(Collegno) and the other one in
China (in total, we make more than
350 injection tools per year). We use
any kind of raw materials such as
PPO, PA, PA66, ABS… depending on
the application. Our team of experts
is used to tools such as Mold $ow
analysis and Tool FMEA, for instance.
Quality
The quality of the products and the
processes are the central points of
Bitron philosophy.
Bitron HVAC Systems is continuously
innovating in its production processes
and constantly investing in high skilled
people specially and regularly
trained. The effective management of
quality not only creates value for an
organization and its stakeholders but
also manages its exposure to risk and
can make the difference between
success and failure. The pursuit of
excellence has always been a
cornerstone of Bitron: for this
reason, in fact, we are one of the
signi!cant supplier of components for
the Automotive sector, in which the
required quality standards are very
high.

Electronics
Electronics is one of our core
business: 30% of our turnover
c o m e s f r o m E l e c t r o n i c s . For decades Bitron Group has
developed PCBs and user
interfaces for the Appliance as well
as the Automotive Industry. Lately we entered the Energy
Industry through Energy Meters
sold to a big player in the Italian
Market. In order to build on
that experience, we have
developed our own boiler control
for condensing and standard
ef!ciency boilers that enables us to
better exploit the characteristics of
our components and systems
offering you the best compromise
between reliability size and cost.
The production volumes for
controls coming from the White
Goods I ndustry and from the
different production sites (in Italy,
Poland and China), allow Bitron to
be an important E lectronics
supplier in the market every year.

Innovation and R&D
Innovation and R&D are both crucial for
Bitron since the company was founded.
R&D is almost entirely conducted internally, although
there are partnerships with Universities for speci!c
projects, especially in the Renewable Energy sector. Bitron Group has an high level of know-how in
designing and developing HVAC solutions in order
to ful!ll all customer’s requests.
The presence in our t eam of proven valid
electronics engineers, experts in $ame control and
boiler's management, represents a remarkable key
resource for Research & Development activities.
The Company is particularly skilled in designing
systems and components, integrating several
functions in one, in order to optimize design and
reduce costs. Bitron dedicates every year 6 to 7%
of its turnover to R&D activities as a mean to always
anticipate OEM customer’s needs. For instance,
close to10% of the employees works in the R&D
!eld.

System integration
System integration is one of the key points of Bitron
industrial philosophy. The development of each
component or system is the result of the integration
between R&D, performances, quality and costs.
Each component is deviced like a system, ready to be
installed and developed in synergy with the customer.
Bitron Group industrial strategy allowed more
$exibility in the development and manufcaturing of
components for OEMs and, at the same time, the
possibility to propose more and more advanced new
technological solutions.

Our main customers
The dictionary de!nition of a customer – “one that purchases a commodity or
service” is certainly not in line with what we believe clients are for us.
We do not supply only products: we develop and manufacture a part of
customer appliance, understanding its applications and its characteristics.
We are $exible enough to adapt to any requirements in terms of supply chain,
quality and cost optimization and we have a standard or customized solution for
every request.
