Through our associate TALUS Robotics we contribute to the development of solutions that improve safety conditions for workers and users of public services. Another innovative project – Autonomous robot, with ultraviolet radiation lamps to disinfect closed environments. Video available at: https://www.jn.pt/nacional/videos/robo–12479058.htmlRead more

From November 1st 2015, FLUPOL became a public limited company. For the moment nothing else changes, except designation: FLUPOL – Surface Engineering S.A. With this new step, FLUPOL expects to be able to improve capacity of creating value together.Read more

FLUPOL is a member of the Technical Committee (TC) 194 on Nanotechnologies, created by the PToNANO consortium through the IPQ (Portuguese Institute of Quality). The purpose of this technical body is the development of standardization documents and issuing regulatory opinions in the field of nanotechnology. Parties with interest in a technical field within the scope of action of this body, can participate on a voluntary basis.

On 15 January 2018, the Department of Mechanical Engineering of the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto honored FLUPOL for the relevance of the existing cooperation between company and academia.Read more

The 16th International Fair of Machinery, Equipment and Services for Industry was attended by the advanced and flexible industrial robotics solution “Lean AGV” from our associate Talus Robotics.

One of the major defies presented in iba 2015 was a revolutionary engineering concept in the construction of molds for baking industry.

FLUPOL, in April of 2015, submitted a patent for this concept: PAT.PEND.108376.

FLUPOL, with our FLUPOL BAKING SYSTEMS division, was present for the 5th time to the biggest technology fair for the baking industry, IBA.

For 15 years that FLUPOL has been showing our late developments, defies and trends for the next 3 year period.

STEEL PROF is a “spin-out” of FLUPOL resulting from the verticalization investment made by the company in 2003 enlarging its operation in industrial baking market with capacity for design and construction of internally developed metal molds.

With the awareness that the skills generated by this project transcended by far the specific needs of FLUPOL, it was decided to empower this metalworking activity allowing its access to broad sectors of markets with strong need of its technological and professional excellence in sheet metal working.

Its products speak for themselves.

TALUS is an associated company with FLUPOL, focused on the development of advanced and flexible industrial robotized solutions.

The main products offered by the company are: 6D-Mimic, a programming by demonstration system for robots and LeanAGV, low cost easy-to-install AGVs.

FLUPOL became an effective member of the Network Association for Competence in Polymers (ARCP – https://site.arcp.pt/) and moved its materials development laboratory to ARCP’s facilities in the Science and Technology Park of University of Porto (UPTEC – https://uptec.up.pt/).Read more
