University of Cádiz

In its ongoing efforts to improve, innovate and grow, Torrent Group and the university of Cádiz have begun to work together in order to improve the production process of stoppers and caps. Their objective is to make a product adjusted to customer requirements, reducing production costs with quality materials and new techniques, and minimizing the CO2 footprint in the environment caused by industrial manufacturing.

Torrent Group and the UCA (University of Cádiz) are therefore developing a series of ways to collaborate with the Doctor in Engineering and Industrial Design, Miguel Suffo, and the Professor in Materials Science and Metallic Engineering, Sergio Molina. They are the liaison between this public university and the company.

The company and the university have signed a framework agreement for technology transfer through which Torrent Group researchers and engineers socialize the knowledge obtained and apply it in a practical way to companies, therefore providing economic benefits for the province. Society will also benefit from these collaboration agreements. Torrent Group offers the possibility to undergraduate and master students to carry out their final Degree and master’s degree projects in the company and to be able to apply what they have learned theoretically in a practical manner.

This collaboration focuses on the development of a product adjusted to customer requirements, reducing production costs with quality materials and new techniques, and minimizing the CO2 footprint in the environment caused by industrial manufacturing. For this, a new system will be used through 3D printers, which will significantly accelerate the design and manufacturing times for this prototypes.
