The Celli Group is a global leader in the design and manufacture of high-tech dispensing systems for beverages. While this is a beer-centred market, the company is truly diverse, with its latest water dispensers setting new standards in efficiency and design, as Philip Yorke reports.

Celli’s state-of-the-art production plant is based at San Giovani near Rimini, Italy. Here the company’s products range from drink dispensing machinery, such as towers, coolers, pressure regulators and beer taps, to water dispensing products which include treated mains water systems. The drink dispensing products include a standard range, as well as customised products for leading global brands such as Coca-Cola and Pepsi Co, as well as most of the world’s major breweries, who then distribute the machines to their individual retail outlets. Today Celli is a truly global player with its products being exported to over 100 countries worldwide.

Sustainability by design

At the heart of Celli’s operations is a constant drive for excellence and technological innovation, as well as for functional design and sustainability. Thanks to its partnership and collaboration with cutting-edge companies, universities and certification institutes throughout Europe, Celli develops new ground-breaking products for the on-going improvement of its products and processes, as well as for its broad range of dedicated customer services.

Since 2011, the Celli Group has worked closely with three of Italy’s top universities in order to conduct innovative research into

eco-designed products and to reduce the environmental impact of its products and manufacturing processes. The company takes full advantage of its extensive and fully-equipped laboratories and prototype facilities, where advanced, sustainable and technologically advanced products are developed and tested.

The Celli Group’s significant investment in research and development includes the design and purchase of advanced software to analyse its products’ lifecycles, sustainable characteristics and performance.

Combining design with eco-technology

One of the Celli Group’s best-known subsidiaries is Cosmetal, a leading European brand in the design and production of taps for the world’s domestic consumer markets. The company recently unveiled a new range of home taps, combining advanced eco-design with cutting-edge technology, and all demonstrating the famous Italian flair for design.

The individual tap lines feature different flows and technical specifications in order to offer a truly diversified consumer choice depending upon the type of kitchen involved. Cosmetal has always invested heavily in research and development in order to ensure the continuous improvement of the technological and visual performance of its products.

Examples of its latest product ranges include the new Cosmetal taps, which are designed for dispensing both mains water and filtered water at room temperature or chilled, carbonised, or hot, thanks to the use of a special double-control feature. This facility was achieved without the need to make additional holes in the home sink. The latest range expands on the existing one and is available in a variety of finishes, including chrome or glazed, to match any kitchen style or character.

The new Cosmetal models include the G100, a round, 5-way tap with a double control facility, which can dispense both mains water and filtered water at room temperature or chilled, carbonised or hot. The G200 and G300 models both offer additional features such as a swivelling nozzle and extractable spray-head. Celli says that design, innovation and convenience are the main characteristics of its new range of Cosmetal home taps. n
