COMPANY PROFILE

OUR STORY STARTS

The Acoustic Engineering Studio is founded in Verona.

NOT ONLY ACOUSTICS

Z Lab enriches thanks to RAMS Analysis and Technical Manuals for Industry.

FROM NORTH TO SOUTH

The office in Cosenza is opened.

THE SMALL ENTERPRISE GROWS UP

The Engineering studio becomes a Company, integrating services like RAMS Analysis and Technical Publications.

Z Lab is part of "ICT Sud", Calabria University Centre of Technological Competences.

THE FIRST ACOUSTIC LABORATORY

A new office takes place in Florence, while the Verona office moves to Cologna Veneta taking over the first Acoustic and Thermal Laboratory.

THE WHOLE ITALY

The national coverage is reached, with the opening of the new office in Lecce.

ALWAYS BIGGER

The office moves from Cologna Veneta to Cerea in a 2000 m² establishment where the new Acoustic and Thermal Laboratory is inaugurated.

THE YEAR OF QUALITY

Z Lab is qualified in compliance with the norm UNI EN ISO 9001:2008.

The Laboratory obtains the ACCREDIA qualification.

In December 2013, Z Lab qualified the following standards:

1. Partitions, covering, little elements: Acoustic insulation measurement by air

3. Facades: Acoustics – Acoustic insulation measurement in buildings and of buildings’ elements – Acoustic insulation “in opera” by air of façade’s elements and of façade.

UNI EN ISO 140-5:2000 + UNI EN ISO 717-1:2013 + DPCM 05/12/1997

4. Partitions, covering: Acoustics – Acoustic insulation measurement in buildings and of buildings’ elements – Acoustic insulation “in opera” by air between settings.

UNI EN ISO 140-4:2000 + UNI EN ISO 16283-1:2014 + UNI EN ISO 717-1:2013 + DPCM 05/12/1997

5. Garrets, covering: Acoustics –Acoustic insulation measurement in buildings and of buildings’ elements – Noise insulation “in opera” measurement of garrets’ footsteps.

UNI EN ISO 140-7:2000 + UNI EN ISO 717-2:2013 + DPCM 05/12/1997

THE VERONA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE BESTOWS ON Z LAB THE 36^th EDITION "LOYALTY TO LABOR AND ECONOMIC PROGRESS OF THE WORK FROM VERONA IN THE WORLD" PRIZE.
