EX-PROOF MOTORS

Safety specialists for fifty years…..  CEMP

Established in 1954, Cemp was among the first companies in Italy to manufacture flameproof motors.

Over the years, the product range has broadened introducing flameproof motors with a brake, electric pumps for printing machines, flameproof motors for Group IIC gases and for mining.

In 1998 Cemp entered a new growth phase joining a large group of private investors and in 2000 it acquired Atav, a French company specialising in small aluminium flameproof motors.

In fifty years of activity, Cemp has created one of the most comprehensive ranges of electic motors for hazardous areas available today on the market: flameproof motors, increased safety motors, "non sparking" motors. Furthermore, Cemp supplies customers with consulting services for designing and manufacturing motors with special features.

Cemp's main offices are in Senago (MI). The production plants, covering 6.000 sq metres, are in Italy (Senago) and France (Nonancourt). Cemp employs about 100 workers and exports 50% of its production worldwide. 70% of sales is OEM, 30% is for final users and engineering companies.

Atex 99/92/EC and Atex 94/9/EC are the two European Union Directives for ensuring safety in hazardous areas.

Since July 2003, the sale of equipment for hazardous areas without the Atex certificate has been forbidden.

The Cemp production system is Atex-certified by the Cesi of Milan since the year 2000.

The entire range of Cemp products is Atex- certified. Certificates are issued by the Cesi of Milan and by LCIE of Paris, the Notified Bodies of the European Commission.

To ensure the best product quality and strict adherence to the most stringent international standards Cemp continues to use only the highest quality components, careful assembly techniques and rigorous testing procedures.

Cemp has obtained UNI EN IS09001, edition 2000 (Vision 2000) certification for its production and testing systems.

The testing room, which customers can use to carry out the required electrical tests with great precision and promptness is most certainly a tangible example of Cemp customer care.
