In 2013 Italproget joined the Cangialeoni Group, a group that currently brings together eleven companies with headquarters throughout Northern Italy. In the same year the company changed its headquarters and moved to Meldola (FC), in the current production plant. Since the move to the new headquarters, the owner contemplated the possibility of extending the production spaces available to the company in the adjacent areas. And since moving to the new headquarters, Italproget has acted and thought about the future with the certainty of being able to grow, expand and improve.

Over the years, the project has materialised: the continuous evolution of the company and economic developments have required an upgrade of the production site. The construction works were formally closed in summer 2020, in the middle of the COVID period. The new building is a 2,300 m2 warehouse that adds to the existing 3,200 m2 and 700 m2 of offices. It is made of prefabricated insulated cement and meets the most stringent energy requirements. It is complete with winter heating and summer cooling via heat pump and fully serviced by energy-saving LED lighting. The construction of the new warehouse is part of a larger project to improve the company's work area, from a logistical, energy and workplace safety point of view.

Logistics
The warehouse is complete with four overhead cranes with a capacity of up to 50 tonnes and has a height of 12 m to allow easy handling of machinery and equipment of large dimensions and heavy weights. The logistics of the building has been specifically designed to facilitate the loading and unloading operations within it and to therefore improve, in addition to the receipt of goods, the shipment of finished products that alone counts over 300 billets per year.

Safety
In the context of the expansion works, the company proceeded with the total renovation of the site fire-fighting system by inserting an auxiliary pump and an underground water collection tank with a capacity of 60 cubic meters that feeds the entire line inside and outside the buildings.

Energy
At the same time as the construction of the new warehouse, the company invested in the installation of a new photovoltaic system of more than 50 kW located on the roof of the existing building. This system, in the summer months, contributes to producing about 60% of the company's energy needs and, on an annual basis, more than 30%. The system also represents a space for collaboration and for the development of synergies with other companies of the Cangialeoni Group.
