Success beyond expectations for the first GRAF SYNERGY OPEN HOUSE, held in Nonantola (MO) and San Giovanni in Persiceto (BO), Italy.

The GRAF Synergy Open House has just concluded: from Monday, September 15 to Friday, September 19, 2025, the event opened its doors to customers, dealers, technology partners, and industry operators from across Europe and other international markets.

Five days dedicated to innovation in PVC window production, during which attendees had the opportunity to witness live and in action the most advanced technological solutions developed by GRAF Synergy to enhance quality, aesthetics, and production efficiency, both in terms of machinery and software (GRAF Enterprise® – TAG Application©) as well as after-sales service (GRAF Synergy Service).

The Open House 2025 – commented Gianfranco Ferranti, CEO of GRAF Synergy – represents much more to us than just a showcase of technologies; it is an opportunity to share our vision for the industry, one that combines innovation and efficiency to achieve real economic and environmental sustainability. We wanted to bring our ideal of an ‘Automated Factory’ to life, demonstrating how GRAF Synergy goes beyond merely producing machines to developing solutions that transform production processes and create value for customers, partners, and the entire sector. Opening the doors of our facilities means opening ourselves to dialogue, collaboration, and new opportunities for growth in synergy, just as our name suggests!
