Glass melting specialist Falorni Tech defines ‘opportunity engineering’ as the early stage of an investment project in glassmaking. Working as a technical consultant for several investment projects in glassmaking, the company has developed an unconventional approach that remains embedded within the frames of the commercial phase of a project and not in the executive phase.

This exploratory phase requires a skills mix of technical knowledge: Falorni’s engineering crew doesn’t only design a turnkey plant or a process line but, further to customer requirement, it can provide consultancy referring to glassmaking technical features and applications for a special glass product or production.

This evaluation allows Falorni to select and pursue conceptual ideas a long way into a potential project – identifying profits, while at the same time allowing an investor to contain risk within the average existing business risk of existing competitors.

Starting with a preliminary technical study, Falorni carries on a pre-feasibility study to give the investor, in advance, the main financial index of the project.

This is followed by light 3D modelling, an option appreciated by potential investors and a complimentary service in which Falorni has invested in terms of time and personnel, creating a database of plant models and project patterns that is believed to be unique in its kind.
