Today, thanks to studies made by PMC producers, it is possible to manufacture increasingly higher quality paper at decreasingly lower costs.

Our Research & Development has engineered innovative products, subsequently introduced to the market, which have become important in the evolution of the paper industry.
An example is the first patent obtained by Cristini in 1955, regarding the first pin-seam concept for conventional press fabrics (patent n.554352, US 569040).

The Company strongly believe in the constant innovation, coming by technology cooperation with universities, research centers of excellence, papermakers and paper machine builders.
Results of this constant innovation in PMC are the latest generation of non woven press fabrics (VentaPlane), the new Polymer Surface Press Fabrics™ (MicroPore™) or the advanced application of nanotechnologies, like the MicroGrip™ high adherence polymer for single tier fabrics.

The innovation and cooperation with universities lead in the year 2000 to take an important strategic decision: to utilize a well over thirty years experience with paper machine clothing monitoring, to develop a proprietary line of diagnostic systems.
The target was to outperform the limits of the traditional tools used to service pulp and paper machines, using innovative principles and state-of-the-art technologies.
The results are some of the most innovative principles developed for the first time by Cristini, like FiberScan™ the world's first microwave consistency meter, now the reference in the industry. Reliable innovation, for better papermaking.
