In November 2003 the new Cerutti Research Centre opened in Vercelli, with the participation of important representatives from the world of politics and economics. The Cerutti Group has thus broadened its horizon, adding a valuable element to the development of the Company. Various researchers now operate there, tightly connected to the main Cerutti Technical Office in Casale Monferrato. "A new step forward along our path of growth" commented Giancarlo Cerutti, President and C.E.O., on the opening day; "product innovation and basic research have been essential since the days of my grandfather Giovanni and my father Luigi".

The Research Centre was originally equipped with a press suitable to develop research applicable to all sectors in which Cerutti operates, with the aim to offer the market high technology products and also satisfy specific customer requirements.
After a few months, it was decided to install a second press for satisfying all research projects, dedicated to development and improvement of the technological performance of the rotogravure presses.
