They have long experience in the field of plastic products and perform tests based on a set of standard regulations that all products must comply with in order to achieve good market quality.<br \/>\nWe know that our products fully comply with the standard regulations set by these two institutes, however, in order to show you the manufacturing process that leads to our excellent quality, we have decided to provide you with all the necessary information. The conclusion of this process is the implementation of our Quality System (QDS) for all Gevacril\u00ae products.

After years of research and development, investment in a new polymerisation station, Gevacril\u00ae &#8211; the first company in the world to offer this type of product &#8211; is able to produce a 100% recycled methacrylate resin and offer a product range qualitatively identical to semi-finished products made from &#8216;virgin&#8217; resin.<\/p>\n<p>In 2023, Gevacril Acrylics invested in a photovoltaic plant for the production of approx. 200,000 KWh\/year of renewable energy.
