2000 - 2013

In 2000, 3V Green Eagle was established and develops innovative technologies for the treatment of industrial wastewater and sludge. These technologies have earned the distinction of BAT (Best Available Technique) from the European Bureau IPCC.

In 2003, 3V Mabo was acquired, a company that specializes in the design and manufacturing of thin film evaporators and short path evaporators, which permit the distillation of extremely viscous fluids and thermolabile products. These systems have widespread applications, not only in the chemical and pharmaceutical sectors but also in industries where they are used for the remediation of polluted areas, regeneration of waste oils and treatment of substances affected by leached contaminants.

In 2008, 3V Tech acquired Top Service s.r.l., a company that had recently reached important results in the glass-lined sector. The name was changed to 3V Glasscoat as part of 3V Tech`s strategic vision of becoming a world leader in the process equipment sector. It also represented a further step on the road towards complete vertical integration of the company`s own activities. 3V Glasscoat gives 3V Tech its own in-house expertise in the glass-lined sector and has become one of the leading references in its market.

In 2009, 3V Tech entered into a strategic partnership with Italian company Soffiere Sestese srl, which has specialised in the design and manufacture of borosilicate 3.3 glass equipment and components since 1984. Its specific knowledge and experience in designing process systems are the perfect complement to 3V Glasscoat`s own expertise in glass-lined reactors.
