The policy of the company is geared towards manufacturing high quality products. The main area of work, street lighting, involves installing products that need to last over time and provide continuous performance insomuch as they are also associated with safety measures. For this reason the materials utilized, the processing and the finishing, the technological components are all selected according to criteria of quality, efficiency, durability and impact on the environment.
Once the guide-lines of the project have been outlined, the specifications of the new product being developed are defined. The mechanical and performance aspects are subjected to extremely accurate verifications as early as in the study phase. Il designer recepisce le istanze e le problematiche delle e The designer takes into account the requirements as well as the problems emerging from previous experience, finding innovative solutions that satisfy the needs for functionality and trustworthiness with ideas capable of investing the product with a strong identity.

The project takes form with the utilization of simulation software that attests the adequateness and conformity to regulations of the product from mechanical, thermal, optic and electronic aspects. The prototypes that are realized are subjected to physical tests to support the hypotheses emerging from the programmes of simulation, with continuous interaction until the pre-established results are achieved.
Julia Stampi, one of the group’s companies, realizes the moulds. Initially, a 0 series is realized on which functionality tests are carried out immediately. Any negative findings lead to modifications of the moulds before starting up the batch production.
The product obtained from the first definitive production is subjected to the established normative laws for the attainment of certificates of quality.

Gielle Plast carries out the moulding of the plastic parts. The distribution of the seals is done by robots directly on the plastic parts of the body using the same technology as that used for the headlights on automobiles.
The components are subsequently assembled and the products are subjected to quality auditing.

The materials utilized are all high-performing.
The top cover is realized in die-cast aluminium to guarantee a high level of heat loss to safeguard the lifetime of the LED and the electronic equipment.
The die-casting of the aluminium is a very energy- consuming process; for this reason the other elements of the exterior box are realized in ASA polymeric plastic (acrylonitrile-styrene-acrylate), a material which offers high resistance to atmospheric agents, UV rays and extreme temperatures. The use of this polymer, which actually costs more than aluminium, has a lower impact from an energetic point of view and thus is more ecologically sustainable.
Also for the transparent parts in plastic that some products have instead of glass for the protection of the LED, our experience in the automotive sector (this is the material used for car headlights) has demonstrated that PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate) is the most suitable material and tends to not yellow with age nor deteriorate in time. All bolts and screws are in stainless steel.

Xivet uses technological components made by the best manufacturers available on the market:

• Philips and CREE for the LED
• Philips-Inventronics-Meanwell for the power supply
• Ledil for the secondary optics All

the parts in material that is not homogeneous with the Xivet products are separable in order to be easily disposed of at the end of the life-cycle.
