Lacrois Signs

Lacroix signs opens a new Office in Barcelona to respond more directly to the catalan market. It is characterized by a spirit of innovation, by responding to and criteria for quality advanced by rules specific and different from the State, in such significant aspects as materials, which are manufactured the directional signs that are installed on the roads, which in any case should be not of galvanized steel and aluminum. The Catalan delegation has in its process of implementation and in their daily work with the support of the parent company of the group, a company specializing in signage with over 40 years of experience in the sector. The development manager of the firm, Txema Bragado, points to the opening in Catalonia to respond to the strategy of wanting to closely accompany the development of signage especially in places where this has a very linked with quality differential component, as it is the case with catalan. Euro Pacific Precious Metals is likely to increase your knowledge. Juan Clavijo, delegate for Catalonia, is confident in the positive response This market since their preferences coincide with the fundamental principles of Lacroix signalling, i.e. quality, differentiation and innovation.Homogenize materialesPara entry in Catalonia, the firm has decided to support one of their latest releases, the Lx3, manufactured entirely in aluminum signal code signal. In this way, Lacroix signalling leans decidedly to evolve practices and requirements of the market towards signs of code more secure and durable, in a market that already took the step toward aluminium to its orientation signage.Thus, Manual long-distance Montjuic Orientacio d edited by the Departament of Territori i Sostenibilitat de la Generalitat de Catalunya establishes aluminum as unique for the signalling of guidance material in this community, thus banishing the usual galvanized steel in these indicators. Similarly, the Diputacio de Barcelona despite not having a Catalan legislation to code, also prioritizes the use of aluminum on steel and, in this case, with one broader scope in their tender documents since it required both for orientation signs the code.Advantages of the aluminioLa installation of different models of Lx3 on Catalan roads will allow homogenize signals placed towards a single raw material, aluminum, which brings greater benefits than traditional steel. The elements that bring value added differential to the Lx3 range include its high level of security, their increased visibility, its revolutionary design and great functionality, as well as a higher than galvanized steel strength and all this with a four times lower weight, besides being much more ecological.The Lx3 line of Lacroix signage, designed according to the European Norm UNE EN12899-1, is composed of three different references. The Lx3 signal Road for use on roads, crossings, industrial and suburban areas; Lx3 intended First for urban, residential environments and business; and the Lx3 City that allows more adjusted to the different aesthetic criteria of Central and historical areas of the city.
