Quality


DropsA was the first lubrication company in Italy accredited with ISO 9001 in 1995 and has built on this since. Our quality system is the basis for the management and governance of all processes inside and outside our organization. 

Continuous investment has been made in all aspects of product design and manufacturing to continually increase the reliability of our products that face ever harsher environments. 

Design and Process controls, FMEA and capability studies, environmental testing and FEM simulations on new products, traceability via Barcode and preparation for RFID are just some of the more recent developments. 

 

Research & Development


Our dedicated product R&D facility includes all the latest tools for developing products: advanced 3D solid modeling, CAD/CAM, Rapid prototyping and 3D Printing capabilities, Finite Element Modeling (FEM) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD).

Environmental reliability, testing facilities and product life cycle testing equipment allow our engineers to develop and test new products and technology.

Dropsa products conform to worldwide machine safety and emissions standards. We hold numerous world-wide patents. Additionally, we have specialized resources to develop hazardous area compatible products to ATEX or API standards.

 

Production & Innovation


All our production and assembly facilities operate under extensive quality monitoring and product tracking to ensure both the highly efficient machining and assembly of products to exacting specifications.

Our machining and automated assembly production facility based near Milan, Italy, is equipped with some of the most advanced manufacturing systems in the industry operated around-the clock with real time updating and monitoring.

Dropsa's own minimal Quantity Lubrication (MQL) near dry machining technology has been applied across our machining facilities allowing substantial progress in productivity and elimination of water based coolant from metal cutting operations. The result is an energy efficient and environmentally friendly production facility. The entire production facility is internet-enable, which allows our manufacturing engineers to monitor production machines and assembly lines in real time from any location.

Continuous investments in automated assembly lines have meant production components are produced at globally competitive costs whilst maintaining outstanding quality and first class performance standards
