DFI’s new cartridge-operated ultra-efficient process proves to be a big success at Glasstec with its first EU installation at Mamparas Doccia in Spain
IRVINE, Calif., November 11, 2014 – Diamon-Fusion International (DFI), Aires and Mamparas Doccia jointly announced the first FuseCube™ to be installed in Europe. The patented Diamon-Fusion® protectivenano-coating application chamber, known as the FuseCube, is a fully automated system that can provide glass fabricators and manufacturers significant savings in both material and labor costs compared to the traditional spray-application coatings, while adding an unmatched industrial flexibility and added-value. With the smallest model having the ability to apply Diamon-Fusion to both sides and all edges of up to 75 standard size shower panels – amounting to over 1800 square feet (167 m2) of surface area – in approximately one hour, the FuseCube can coat fifteen times more surface area than the manual spray-applied method in the same factory footprint for a fraction of the cost.
Mamparas Doccia, a 17-year Sevilla-based and privately owned company, has become a leading shower door manufacturer in Europe with a monthly production capacity of 11,500 units under a 20,000 m2 manufacturing roof. Doccia has a sales and distribution network throughout Europe, Africa, The Caribbean region and South America.
“The higher demand for our products has dictated that we look for a more efficient way, both from a cost-effectiveness standpoint and higher quality coating system to add more value to our customers worldwide; therefore, by replacing our traditional spray-application coating withthe premium Diamon-Fusion coating, we’ve accomplished our goal while increasing productivity.We’ve done the first cycle with the FuseCube and I’m thrilled to report that we’ve treated in only two hours what would’ve taken us eleven hours with our previous manually-applied coating for the same exact amount of glass panels, while utilizing no labor at all, so complete savings on labor. I must say this was something very impressive to see.” explained Alfonso Pérez Álvarez, Managing Director of Mamparas Doccia.
According to Guillermo Seta, DFI’s Corporate Vice President, “Since DFI was founded in 1997, we’ve been working to perfect our patented Diamon-Fusion coating application chamber technology to add industrial flexibility to our customers while keeping up with a growing demand. With the FuseCube we’ve developed a system that is eco-friendly, easy-to-use, safe and cost-effective. When innovative customers like Mamparas Doccia see a savings payback on the FuseCube of under a year, and envision how it can help them expand their offering of our profitable and customer-pleasing protective coating, it is an easy choice.”
“Doccia has made a great choice, enabling more added-value advantages and a higher quality coating system for their customers. The FuseCube makes perfect sense for all custom shower door and glass processors, and Doccia just realized that sooner than most,” stated Francisco Bono, DFI’s Exclusive Agent for Spain and Portugal, and Managing Director of Aries.
The FuseCube’s core technology is operating in more than three dozen locations across ten countries in North America, Europe and Asia.
