Engineering

Innovation in the field of engineering can encompass many things. Innovating can begin from a novel idea on a simple method and turn into a new production process which can improve our health, make everyday life more convenient and be environmentally friendly at the same time.

VILIPO Engineering is looking for engineering and design solutions which target a specific everyday use. These projects (solutions) may be equipment to be used in homes, kitchens, buildings, offices, etc.

The project should contribute to making processes faster, more effective and, of course, be more environmentally friendly and healthier because it reduces waste, therefore not hurting our environment.
