With Bramidan
Safe and clean working environment
A tidier and safer work space
Well known as a high-end luxury car brand, Maserati designs and manufactures their Italian handcrafted vehicles in their bustling factory in Modena, Italy. As the factory began to see an increase in productivity, they also experienced an excess of cardboard, plastic shrink wrap, and bubble wrap on the factory floor. In need of a solution at the waste source, they turned to Bramidan balers.
Maserati installed not only one, but four vertical balers inside their facility. Since they are now able to recycle waste at multiple points throughout the production line, they were able to create a safe and clean working environment while decreasing the number of waste pickups.

Reaching Waste Management Goals
Production lines must constantly be kept clear
One of the main challenges faced by Maserati’s Environmental Specialist, Maddelena Spagna, is waste management during production. She describes it as, “A procedure with a significant room for improvement. Especially as waste collection is subcontracted to a third party company.”
The goal was to find an easy, safe solution that would allow for a cleaner, more organised space. With the installation of the balers, they are now able to achieve this goal.

Optimised Workflow
Better internal logistics
With the help of Bramidan’s Italian distributor, Scalvenzi, Maserati began a free baler trial. Shortly after they began to see positive results in the form of optimised workflow and internal logistics in key areas of the factory.
“With the support of Bramidan, the initial idea to improve waste management and realise WCM concept of order and cleanliness has become reality. We were very pleased with the results of the first trial. Bramidan has given us a solution that is fast, safe and efficient and gives a cleaner production area,” Maddelena says.
Fewer waste pickups
The finished bales of cardboard, plastic shrink wrap, and bubble wrap are removed and stored in a container outside the factory until it is ready for pickup. Before installing the balers, Maserati was paying for daily waste pickups. Since they began baling their recyclable waste, they have been able to decrease the number of pickups each week while also saving money.

We have generated many benefits: the assembly lines are tidier and cleaner, and our workflow is more efficient due to faster and easier waste handling. We’ve also saved costs on equipment, as our waste collector now only provides one container that holds 40% more waste.
