Production details

Our Company manufactures and sells geographycal globes since 1955.

We have been pioneers to produce vacuum forming machines to manufacture globes at an industrial extend, in PVC instead than in paper.

Before we started our innovative production in plastic globes were made in very small quantities in paper, they could not have light inside and they were not precise due to the 'puzzle' unconvenience. Actually our cartography is OFFSET printed on a PVC sheet, in two halves.

Afterwards the sheets go through a TERMING VACUUM FORMING phase.

Now we have two hemispheres in PVC. Next phase is the ELECTROWELD phase. The two hemispheres are electrowelded to a hard ball in PS (poliestereno).

There is no other production of globes which guarantees the same level of quality and precision in the meridians and parallels grid. Each single angle of intersection is very accurated, and the welding coincides exactly with the equator line.

Each single globe is tested and checked. We have a very specialized production team and most of our workers have more than 20 years experience in this field.
