Introduction: energy quality that ensures efficiency

Have you ever wondered how much of your company’s energy consumption is actually wasted without creating value? In energy-intensive industries, the quality of electrical power is often the invisible factor that makes the difference between stable production and inefficiency.

That’s why more and more companies choose Energia Europa, an Italian company specialized in Power Quality solutions, capable of protecting installations and optimizing energy consumption. Among the most significant case studies is GAPI Group, a company that turned its energy management into a competitive advantage.


GAPI Group: sustainability and innovation in the plastics industry

Founded as a company producing elastomer seals and today also a leader in PTFE products, GAPI Group has a clear goal: to combine productivity and energy efficiency. All its facilities are equipped with photovoltaic systems, confirming a concrete path toward sustainability.

As Rocco Reduzzi, Energy Manager at GAPI Spa, explains, the collaboration with Energia Europa arose from a concrete need: stabilizing the grid and reducing energy consumption.

“We installed four Power Quality systems in 2023 with excellent results, achieving a 6% efficiency improvement on our annual energy consumption.”

The Power Quality intervention with EP-X

After the first positive results, GAPI Group decided to expand the Power Quality project by installing five EP-X devices in various production sites and planning a sixth installation by the end of 2025.

EP-X systems by Energia Europa act on disturbances and losses, improving the overall quality of electrical energy and ensuring greater operational efficiency. One of the most significant installations was carried out at the Palazzolo plant, dedicated to PTFE product manufacturing.

“At our Palazzolo facility, we installed a 1600 A EP-X system. It makes both the grid energy and the photovoltaic energy more efficient, resulting in a 6–7% reduction in total consumption.”

The results: less waste, more stability

The introduction of Power Quality systems led to measurable improvements across several areas:

  • 6% average reduction in annual energy consumption
  • Greater grid stability, with fewer voltage fluctuations
  • Efficient integration of photovoltaic energy into the network
  • Extended lifespan of machinery and fewer production downtimes

Behind these numbers lies not only advanced technology but also a consultative approach that supports each client step by step. Energia Europa doesn’t just provide a product but designs a tailored system that analyzes real electrical parameters and optimizes performance according to production needs.
