Research and Developement
 




Filomarket has always been attentive to both innovation and design-related aspects of its products, with considerable resources being channelled into new materials, production technology and industrial design. This approach led to the development of a prototype cast aluminium trolley (called FUSO): exhibited at the 1996 Düsseldorf trade fair, it won widespread international acclaim. European Shopfitting Decision and European Supermarkets (two specialist magazines) were impressed by the quality of the results, highlighting the "Made in Italy" style brought out by the very form of FUSO. The research that sprang from this product resulted in the development of new ergonomic and design elements - such as the patented TESO handle - that reduce trolley handling effort. PRODUCTION, PATENTS, PRODUCT WARRANTIES AND AFTER-SALES SERVICES are equally important aspects in a modern business. More detailed information on these aspects is provided on the following pages.

 

 

 
 
Certification
 

In March 2000, thanks to attentive employment of cutting-edge technology and sound production procedures, Filomarket obtained ISO 9002 certification, clearly demonstrating its constant commitment to flawless quality and the provision of market-oriented services.



 
Production processes
 

To ensure consistent performance and quality the components are assembled by ROBOTS. The trolley is galvanised using a specially designed automatic system that allows a 12 micron coating to be applied. After galvanisation, a layer of transparent polyester powder paint is applied (on average 30 microns thick): subsequently the trolley is placed in a kiln at 200° C, thus making the paint non-toxic and improving the product's lustre and resistance to weathering. Tests have shown that the trolleys usually do not develop white oxidising dots after 200 hours stay in a "salt-spray chamber" (5% solution as per UNI 5687 standards). They can thus be used in coastal areas without in any way compromising their functionality or appearance. There is a commission, made up of the most important European producers (including Filomarket), whose task is to draw up a set of European guidelines and so standardise minimum trolley performance requisites. These standards (EN 1929) have been in force since 1999. FILOMARKET trolleys comply with the European EN 1929-1 standard on production criteria and anti-tipping test methods concerning supermarket shopping trolleys.

Filomarket is the only company that supplies each trolley with a warranty. That guarantee is based on Filomarket's total commitment to development of innovative solutions that make its products easier to use and on constant attention to quality.

Patents

 
 

These are one of Filomarket's strong points, the combination of a philosophy that emphasises innovation and an ability to pick up on market demands. Of particular note are the Stratos wheel, which allows Filomarket (and no one else in the world) to guarantee its trolley for 5 years, and the Fuso trolley, an international patent that earned a special mention at the Euroshop exhibition in Düsseldorf.

 
Service
 

Customer service is key to Filomarket. The company offers a helpful, flexible and courteous response to problems, rapid delivery times and a first-rate after-sales maintenance programme.
