Safer in the kitchen thanks to antibacterial taps fitted with ABD system

As is well known ABD (Anti-Bacterial Device) the brand new anti-bacterial device by Ottone Meloda, made using a silver-based alloy (created in collaboration with and thanks to studies carried out by Galvanofinish), makes it more effective than traditional removable anti-bacterial tap aerator. As it is inserted in the tap during the production phase this increases its already powerful biocide properties. It goes without saying that the kitchen is where a barrier like an ABD has even more reason to be used, in order to safeguard the health of those who use and drink water more frequently, in particular for cooking and preparing food. This led to the decision taken by Ottone Meloda to fit many of the taps it has designed for this room with this Invention, in particular those in the Nashi, Lime and Proteus series, which also feature other advantages and measures that make them particularly desirable. These include ease of mounting (even when it is difficult to access the under-sink area), a finishing technology (for brushed nickel) that prolongs the life of the product, double chrome-plating as standard and the adoption of intelligent measures for positioning taps under windows (with spouts that are a maximum of eight and half centimetres high). Last, but certainly not least, a distinctive feature of all products is a reassuring and unparalleled lifetime guarantee that only Ottone Meloda is in the position to offer its customers.

New sales manager: dynamic management and innovation, without losing sight of targets
On 3 February in Rome took place the year’s first General Committee Meeting, which was also called to provide an initial opportunity for the sales network to meet and see the new products that have become part of the Inventions series. As well as Stefano Hermann - who after a few years of work and numerous achievements has handed over to the new sales manager for Italy, Giampaolo Carloni (from Roca) - the O&M Srl operations manager Maurizio Meloda and the company’s managing director Valerio Fedeli were also present, with the latter recalling the linear path the Ottone Meloda project is following, despite the current economic situation and antagonistic forces, and thanking everyone for the work done so far. ““I’ve found a situation here that is congenial to me, for how I generally deal with challenges and how I work” said Carloni, “with a situation that partly has to be redesigned, but that I will run in respect of continuity: with an itinerary that has been mapped out and boasts values and a wealth of know-how that make Ottone & Meloda almost unique.” He then continued ironically, borrowing a well-known saying used by Vittorio Fedeli, “I’d like to remind you that in our company it’s… 10% inspiration and 90% transpiration. So it will be the day-to-day work in my new role, the practical tests we have to overcome and the team spirit I manage to establish that will make the difference. But, as has always been the case in my career, hard work doesn’t frighten me and so, I feel ready and think I have the right tools to welcome this new and exciting professional challenge”.”.
