15/10/2008 | Ditec automatic doors in Bennet supermarkets

The partnership between DITEC and the large retail chains continues.

A new addition to the list of large retail chains in Ditec customers portfolio boosts the company’s already established leadership in providing automations for entrances and access doors fitted to large commercial outlets.
After installing automatic pedestrian doors and different types of industrial doors for large retail chains such as Ipercoop, Auchan, Castorama, Leroy Merlin, Obi, Il Gigante, it is now the turn of Bennet hypermarkets, the Italian large retail brand that selected Ditec to automate the entrances fitted to four of its hypermarkets in as many shopping centres.

Like Ditec, Bennet is a fully Italian owned company set up in Como in the early sixties and now regarded as the second leading Italian private company in the large retail chains. From its first Bennet hypermarket opened in Lombardia over forty years ago, the company has continued to expand throughout the North of Italy and currently owns 59 hypermarkets, operating mostly in the regions of Lombardia and Piemonte, but also in the regions of Emilia Romagna, Liguria, Veneto and Friuli-Venezia Giulia.
A very important job order for Ditec, given the size reached by the Como-based brand throughout the North of Italy and its future development prospects.

Bennet hypermarkets based in Megliadino (PD), Pradamano (UD), Gavardo (BS), and Iesolo (VE) now feature various models of Ditec automatic doors, fitted to different types of entrances: from customer entrances to transit accesses between warehouses and shopping areas or loading and unloading doors.
To welcome customers, we have opted for the very popular and highly reliable Bis, the smart, safe and very efficient straight sliding door, the most suitable solution for heavy traffic areas, now directly requested by our costumers.
For the internal doors connecting warehouses to shopping areas we have selected Kronos, the self-repairable, interchangeable-section rapid roll-up doors, very sturdy and very safe for the usage they are subject to, easily installed in all environments thanks to their compact size.
Generally speaking, they have the added advantage of offering the customer a very large range of modular coloured or see-through curtains to choose from, both in terms of quick replacement in case of damages caused by accidental knocks and, in the case of see-through curtains, in terms of higher safety level when used. The inherent self-repairing feature of these doors also helps to minimise damages, and therefore to reduce maintenance operations.
For loading warehouse doors, we have also used the sectional Lisbon model.

Reliability and customer care are common to both brands, Ditec and Bennet, two companies boasting constant growth and on-going innovation.
Ditec also ensures on-going research and development commitment, innovation and reliability of its products, certified to the most stringent European standards.
