RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT CENTER
Since its foundation in 1947, the Gilardoni company has always made Research and Development its top priority. Not only we assemble our products, but we are responsible for the multidisciplinary research behind the products.
The research Center
The Research and Development Center has grown over the years, due to the expansion of our company, in proportion to the increase in our business. From our foundation as a company operating only in the medical sector, Gilardoni evolved first in the non destructive testing sector and then developed specialized technologies for the security market. In 1985 the Gilardoni R&D Center was recognised as being "Highly Qualified" by Ministerial Decree 9-10-1985 - L. 46/82 art.4. This decree reflects the highest recognition accorded by the Italian Authorities to firms which are leaders in advanced technology.
