At ATIU, we’re not just setting the bar for glass decoration, we’re reimagining it—one eco-conscious choice at a time. Our journey is driven by a commitment to sustainability and fueled by cutting-edge, patented technology that is turning heads not only in the design world but also in the investment space. In 2022, we raised €5 million from private investors. It’s clear: sustainability is not only our ethos, but it’s a vision worth backing.
Organic and Waterborne Coatings: Where Clean Meets Creative
Gone are the days when industrial coatings needed to harm the planet to be effective. At ATIU, we exclusively use waterborne and organic coatings, which are as sustainable as they are sophisticated. No harmful solvents. No chemical-heavy processes. Just pure, eco-friendly innovation.
- Eco-friendly: We’ve banished harmful solvents and acid etching from our vocabulary.
- Low energy consumption: Our coatings cure at lower temperatures, drastically reducing energy consumption.
- Minimal emissions: We proudly release fewer chemicals into the environment.
Digital Sublimation with Waterborne Inks: Precision Meets Purpose
Years of relentless innovation led to our patented digital sublimation process, a breakthrough that merges high-impact design with environmental responsibility. The result? A flawless fusion of sustainability and precision, powered by waterborne inks.
- Recycled materials: Used wherever possible, because sustainability begins at the source.
- Low temperatures, high efficiency: Short cycles mean reduced energy consumption and faster production—without sacrificing quality.
- A sustainable alternative to rotogravure: We said goodbye to traditional, resource-heavy methods.
All-in-One Technology: Redefining Efficiency, One Bottle at a Time
The crown jewel of our innovation is our All-in-One Technology (ATIU). This patented technology brings the entire decoration process under one roof, reducing waste, emissions, and the complexity of traditional methods. Efficiency meets sustainability in the most elegant way possible.
- Seamless and stunning: Full-color, text, and graphics—all completed in one smooth, uninterrupted step.
- Unmatched speed: Our process can produce up to 3,500 pieces per hour.
- Reduced carbon footprint: Less transportation between production steps means fewer emissions.
“Less is More” Approach: Elegance with Purpose
Imagine a world where the bottle becomes the canvas, reducing the need for additional labels or excessive packaging. At ATIU, that’s not just a vision—it’s a reality. Our “Less is More” philosophy focuses on creating elegant, sustainable designs with fewer materials.
- No extra labels or outer boxes: This means fewer raw materials, less waste, and a simpler, cleaner aesthetic.
- Reduced transport volumes: Fewer materials to ship means fewer emissions during transport.
Zero CO2 Emissions: Because We Can Do Better
At ATIU, we’re not content with just reducing our emissions—we’ve set our sights on eliminating them entirely. Since 2022, we have achieved zero CO2 emissions, thanks to our comprehensive carbon-offsetting program and continued investments in green energy.
- Local restoration projects in Veneto: We’re not just offsetting emissions; we’re giving back to the environment with local restoration efforts.
- Certified by Up2You: We fully track our Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions, ensuring transparency and accountability.
- Solar panels and energy-saving initiatives: Our facilities are powered by renewable energy, and we’re constantly exploring new ways to improve.
At ATIU, we don’t just innovate for the sake of innovation.
We innovate with purpose, driven by a clear vision of sustainability and responsible design. From our organic coatings to our all-in-one technology, every choice we make is rooted in our commitment to creating a better future. As we look ahead, our mission remains unchanged: to redefine what’s possible in glass decoration, one eco-conscious step at a time.
