Pomini Tenova, a worldwide leader in the production of roll grinders, has successfully concluded the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) analysis of Pomini Digital Texturing™ (PDT™) – a breakthrough technology for surface texturing of rolling mill work rolls.
The study is the first one of this kind in the sector of metal surface finishing machines, enabling the PDT technology to receive the certification in compliance with the ISO 14025:2006 standard and the General Programme Instruction 4.0.

“PDT is Pomini’s flagship technology: a clean, cost effective, versatile, safe and multi-patented process. I strongly believe that the LCA analysis and related certifications add on to the unique value of our solution, embracing the sustainability concerns and expectations of our stakeholders”, affirmed Paolo Gaboardi, Tenova Executive Vice President.
