The constant quest for process and product excellence leads Atlas Plan to continuously invest in innovation and technology to combine functionality and design.
Aesthetic versatility and completeness of offer
Natura-Vein™ Tech

Natura-Vein™ Tech is an amazing technological innovation for marble effect stoneware slabs with through-body vein.

Natura-Vein™ Tech is the technology from the Concorde Group that makes it possible to recreate the typical veining of a natural material such as marble in porcelain stoneware slabs at an industrial level.

Through-body vein technology increases the freedom of design for designers because it makes the marble look even more realistic, lending each project continuity of surface, edge and corners.
Natura-Body Tech

Natura-Body Tech: Atlas Plan full-body porcelain stoneware slabs.
Natura-Body Tech is the new Atlas Plan technology that allows the aesthetics of natural stone to be reproduced across both the surface and body of the slab. Technology that responds to the aesthetic needs of the furniture and architectural world.

Innovations

NATURA-VEIN™ TECH REPRODUCES THE LOOK OF NATURAL MARBLE.

The vein pattern is reproduced through the full thickness of the slab, guaranteeing perfectly consistent surface and body. This exclusive technology can also be applied to Atlas Plan slabs with a thickness of 20 mm. Just as in natural marble, in our slabs too, the vein pattern of the body of the slab follows that of the surface decoration, which is why Atlas Plan products with through-body vein have random graphics.

Atlas Plan Full Body Stoneware Slabs Natura Body Tech Clamp

Natura-body tech: the texture of natural stone throughout the entire slab.

Natura-Body Tech is an exclusive technology ideal for use any type of environment, residential or commercial, in which continuity is a requirement. Full-body porcelain stoneware is a product composed of the same material throughout, compact and homogeneous. A particular processing technique that guarantees aesthetic permanence even if the upper layer sustains damage.

This exclusive technology can also be applied to Atlas Plan slabs with a thickness of 20 mm and 12 mm.

ENVIRONMENT

Atlas Plan porcelain stoneware slabs, an Atlas Concorde brand, are one of the most environmentally friendly options among furniture surfaces.
Atlas Concorde concretises its commitment to the environment by first of all intervening in the production process, the area where balancing industrial efficiency and eco-sustainability is most complex.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY STANDARDS

The factory in Fiorano Modenese has achieved a high standard of energy efficiency.

COGENERATION FLUE GAS RECOVERY WITH 40% METHANE GAS SAVINGS

The high-temperature fumes released in the methane combustion process in the cogenerator are reused up to 95% for the spray-drying process. This reduces the amount of methane required for the supplied spray-drier by up to 40%, thus reducing CO2 emissions.

100% LED LIGHTING

The LED fixtures used by Atlas Concorde allow annual savings of around 50% of electricity consumption for lighting.

100% RECYCLED RAW AND FIRED SCRAPS

The entire production process of Atlas Plan slabs, a brand of Atlas Concorde, is carried out under the banner of maximum reduction of energy and raw material waste. All raw processing scraps, such as products that do not meet quality standards, as well as dust and purification sludge, are recovered and fed back into the processing cycle. The fired scraps from the production cycle, after grinding treatment, are fully recovered, allowing it to be reused in the production cycle.

99% OF SCRAPS SENT FOR INTERNAL RECOVERY OR EXTERNAL RECYCLING. 25% REDUCTION IN WASTE OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS.

A well-established waste separation and almost complete waste reuse procedure (99%) is in place at Atlas Concorde plants, including office areas. Over the last two years, the total amount of waste produced by the plants has decreased by 25%.

Atlas Plan Environment Recycled Industrial Water

100% RECYCLED INDUSTRIAL WATER AND 27% REDUCTION IN WATER CONSUMPTION IN THE LAST FIVE YEARS

Atlas Concorde is committed to reducing overall water consumption: all waste water is purified and reused at the highest level of efficiency. In addition to the integral recovery of process water, Atlas Concorde is committed to reducing overall water consumption, as confirmed by the increase in savings figures over the past five years.

CARDBOARD AND OTHER PACKAGING: 100% RECYCLABLE MATERIAL

All packaging used by Atlas Concorde is made from recyclable materials, including all purchased cardboard.

REDUCING CO2 EMISSIONS THANKS TO THE AUTOMATED VERTICAL WAREHOUSE

The logistic efficiency of the environmentally sustainable vertical automated warehouse dramatically reduces pollutant emissions thanks to fully automated material handling, reduced waiting times for parked vehicles, and the replacement of diesel-powered forklifts with their electric counterparts.

AIR FILTRATION FOR SAFER WORKING CONDITIONS AND A CLEAN ENVIRONMENT

Attention to people’s health is a top priority for Atlas Concorde. This is why all production facilities are equipped with the most advanced air extraction systems to ensure a more comfortable environment and safe working conditions. To avoid impacting the surrounding areas, after being sucked in, the air is filtered before being re-emitted into the atmosphere, preventing the emission of pollutants or harmful substances.
