In this issue, we start from a real case of production transformation, with Pontoni optimising mixed-batch management thanks to Smartedge Agile. Then we move to the Cefla LAB, where the finishing solutions we bring to market take shape and where customers can test our technologies. We continue with an in-depth look at UV LED retrofitting, which is becoming increasingly important for both efficiency and regulatory compliance. Finally, we close with the 2026 events calendar, featuring all the opportunities to meet us around the world.
/INSIGHT/
The perfect balance of flexibility, premium quality and automated edge finishing
What happens when you need to handle increasingly mixed batches without compromising luxury standards? Pontoni, an Italian company specialised in high-end kitchens and premium furniture, chose Smartedge Agile to combine production flexibility with consistent quality. Thanks to vacuum application and sanding, the line automatically adapts to different panel sizes and thicknesses, reducing setup times, waste and consumption.
Discover how Pontoni has rethought edge finishing together with Cefla Finishing.

Testing, innovation and tailor-made development for your business
How do you turn an idea into a concrete finishing project, with measurable numbers and results? At the Cefla LAB you can see over one hundred machines in operation, simulate complete integrated lines and immediately assess productivity and ROI for the solutions you are considering. It is a space where our R&D team, industry partners and customers work together to develop new processes, validate coating cycles, optimise consumption and design truly custom-made systems.
If you are thinking about the next evolution of your finishing line, this is where the journey starts.

New regulations, technical advantages and replacement scenarios
Mercury UV lamps are becoming increasingly difficult to source and are subject to growing restrictions on production, import and use. The LED solutions developed by Cefla make it possible to comply with regulations, cut energy consumption by up to 50–70%, extend service life by 10–20 times and simplify maintenance and disposal. From targeted retrofits to complete oven replacement, you can choose the scenario that best fits your processes.
