Added value:

Until 2021, this was the largest job performed by Azimut and will allow this research and development centre to reduce its CO2 footprint. The reduction in electricity expenditure has allowed them to devote more resources to staff training and to procuring new research materials. Thanks to this saving, the centre is now more competitive in research and innovation.
