Our Company
A story of success in the field of rehabilitation is given by a mutual effort involving steadfast patients, expert doctors and therapists, and technological innovation. Synergy among them is necessary to achieve the expected result.
Gloreha is the result of a synergistic, motivated and original approach. A group of 11 SMEs from the industrial area of Lumezzane, Brescia (Italy) decided to start a unique and innovative experience, leading to a powerful network of companies, research facilities, Italian and European rehab centers.
Idrogenet represents the foresight of those 11 companies which wanted to go beyond their traditional borders, challenging themselves by investing in R&D, focusing on innovative markets. Know-how reached after decades of experience in the field of mechanics and electronics enhanced this challenge.
FIRST STEP
Idrogenet Srl is founded by 11 SMEs from Brescia (Berna Ernesto Spa, Bugatti Group, Gagitì, Greiner Spa, Gruppo Bonomi, Mario Fernando Group Srl, Omb Saleri Spa, Omp Spa, Wilden Srl, Serafino Zani Srl, Urbani Srl). Prof. Sergio Albertini, lecturer at the Università degli Studi di Brescia, contributes to the foundation as well. The “Idrogenet case” will be studied by many researchers focused on business management over the years.
A REHABILITATIVE GLOVE
A R&D project on the creation of a rehabilitative glove starts. Casa di Cura Villa Beretta (Costa Masnaga, Lecco, Italy), IENI-CNR Institute (Lecco, Italy) are among the main partners. Main goal is studying the possible application of shape-memory alloys to rehabilitative devices.
GLOREHA
While R&D activity continues, Institute Habilita (Sarnico, Bergamo, Italy) and Università degli Studi di Brescia are included in the project. “Gloreha” is the brand name chosen for the future product. Gloreha is the acronym which stands for “Hand Rehabilitation Glove”.
