Elesa+Ganter meets the ZOLLER yellow

Nov 30, 2020

The use of colour as a design and aesthetical feature in mechanical components has been introduced progressively in the last decades. Elecolors® is an Elesa+Ganter proposal to satisfy these market’s needs.

The use of colour and the care in aesthetical details for components destined for machines in industrial environments represent an international trend. A trend to which Elecolors® has always took inspiration from, with the “well-designed and well-done” philosophy.

The range has been furtherly enlarged and so has the colour variants, available as standard, that today counts up to 7 colours. These are the Elecolors®: Pure Orange - RAL 2004, Light Grey - RAL 7035, Colza Yellow - RAL 1021, Pastel Blue - RAL 5024, Flame Red - RAL 3000 and May Green - RAL 6917.

This is what happened with E. ZOLLER GmbH & Co. KG., founded as a mechanical workshop in 1945 by Alfred Zoller and developed into one of the world’s leading companies and system provider of innovative pre-setting and measuring machines as cutting tools and automation solutions. The German company, located in Baden-Württemberg, selected the ETH. tubular handles with aluminium tube with epoxy resin coating, metal flake graphite colour, matte finish and screw-covers in special yellow, perfectly matching with the company colour. 

The goal was simple: maximise the distinctive feature of their machines and improve their aesthetic perception by adding a “hint” of colour.

Elesa+Ganter ETH. tubular handles, from the Ergostyle® line, didn’t go unnoticed in front of the most prestigious international industrial design juries. In fact, in 2015, they have been awarded by IF design award and by Red Dot award.

ETH. tubular handles range is available with handle shanks in glass-fibre reinforced polyamide based technopolymer, matte finish, corrosion resistant with a special expansion-assembly system that firmly fit to the tube to prevent rotation during operation.

Aluminium tubes with epoxy resin coating, highly resistant to wear, scratches and chemical agents or in anodised natural colour. The CLEAN version has been recently added: side shanks and tubes in white colour similar to RAL 9002 for medical and hospital applications.
