Raytec Vision was born in 2001 from the dream of Raffaele Pezzoli, and Claudio Quarantelli, R&D manager, to exploit the technology of optical vision and x-ray inspection for food safety.

The history of Raytec is characterized by technological innovations that arise mainly from listening to the customer and the desire to constantly improve productivity by adapting to the demands of the market and the needs of the end consumer.

MISSION AND CODE OF BUSINESS CONDUCT
Our mission is to keep on being one of the leading supplier of quality control machines for the food sector. Keeping on being innovative in providing the most advanced technological solutions, flexible in creating custom-made systems, and reliable in guaranteing premium quality and service.
We have adopted the Code of Business conduct by ATS Group, of which we have been a part since 2021, which illustrates the general principles inspiring the conduct and management of our company’s activities, such as transparency, correctness and loyalty.
The code of conduct indicates the objectives and informative values of the business activity, with reference to the parties with whom we interact on a daily basis, such as, for example, suppliers, customers and personnel. It is essential for us at Raytec to share this ethical vision, clearly expressing our common principles, values and responsibilities.
We wish to do this in particular with all those who either work on behalf of our company or have business relations with it. They are required to comply with the principles and regulations contained in the Code.

WHISTLEBLOWING
Whistleblowing is a tool aimed at preventing unlawful behavior committed within a public or private company. The term whistleblowing refers to the reporting of offenses or irregularities that have occurred in the workplace.
In compliance with the provisions of Legislative Decree 24/2023 containing the “Implementation of Directive (EU) 2019/1937 of the European Parliament and of the Council, of 23 October 2019, concerning the protection of persons who report violations of Union law and laying down provisions regarding the protection of persons who report violations of national regulatory provisions” and of the Organisational, Management and Control Model pursuant to Legislative Decree no. 231 of 2001 adopted by RaytecVision S.p.A. (“Raytec” or the “Company”), the Company has taken steps to adopt a suitable system for managing reports of violations that have occurred within the workplace.
For the aforementioned reports, the Company makes two specific reporting channels available:

• The “Report It Channel” web platform made available by the Parent Company ATS CORPORATION at the link www.reportit.net;
• Specific local communication channels:
(i) traditional mail: with a confidential letter at Raytec premises to the attention of the Supervisory Body.
(ii) by meeting in person with the Supervisory Board by sending an e-mail request to the e-mail address: raytec.odv@raytecvision.com.

Raytec guarantees the receipt, analysis and treatment of reports forwarded by those who are entitled to make a whistleblowing report, i.e. employees of the Company, collaborators, freelancers or consultants who collaborate with the Company, trainees and volunteers, directors and shareholders and members of the corporate bodies (Board of Directors, Board of Statutory Auditors, etc.).
Raytec, in order to promote the so-called “whistleblowing culture”, admits the receipt and management of reports made even in confidential or anonymous form.

Reports may concern violations of:
– Global Code of Conduct of the ATS Group of which the Company is a part;
– unlawful acts in the context of European Union acts concerning: public procurement; financial services, products and markets and the prevention of money laundering and terrorist financing; product safety and compliance; transport safety; environmental Protection; radiation protection and nuclear safety; food and feed safety and animal health and welfare; public health; consumer protection; privacy and protection of personal data; security of networks and information systems;
– acts or omissions affecting the financial interests of the European Union;
– acts or omissions concerning the internal market of the European Union (by way of example: infringements of competition and State aid);
– acts or behaviors which frustrate the object or purpose of the provisions contained in the European Union acts;
– the Raytec Model 231 and related corporate policies and procedures.

In compliance with the aforementioned legislation, Raytec adopts all necessary measures aimed at protecting the confidentiality of the identity of the whistleblower. Furthermore, the Company imposes an absolute prohibition of retaliatory or discriminatory acts, direct or indirect, against the whistleblower (and “facilitators” as set forth in the law) for reasons directly or indirectly linked to the whistleblowing report, with the provision of sanctions against anyone who violates these protective measures.

For further details, please read the extract of the “Whistleblowing Policy – Reporting Procedure” specially prepared by the Company, available at this link, where all information useful for whistleblower are reported related to the applicable whistleblowing law and the notice channel at his/her disposal.

RAYTEC MODEL 231
In carrying out our activities, we have always been inspired by a deep respect for values, believing that entrepreneurial success should not be disconnected from an ethical and socially responsible conduct of business.
Legislative Decree 231/2001 introduced into the Italian legal system the administrative liability of legal entities, companies, and associations. In particular, this regulation established the criminal liability of companies for certain offenses committed in their interest or for their benefit by:
People holding functions of representation, administration, or management of the entity or one of its organizational units with financial and functional autonomy People who, even in fact, exercise the management and control of the same People subject to the direction or supervision of one of the subjects indicated above.
On December 14 2023, as Raytec Vision SpA, we adopted an organization, management, and control model (“Model”) pursuant to Legislative Decree 231/2001, with the aim of creating a structured and systematic system of procedures and preventive control activities, aiming to prevent offenses by identifying activities exposed to the risk of wrongdoing and their consequent proceduralization.
The adoption and effective implementation of the Model allow us not only to benefit from the exemption from liability provided by Legislative Decree 231/01 but also to constantly sensitize all those who operate on behalf of Raytec Vision S.p.A. regarding the correct way of acting and pursuing continuous improvement in corporate governance and, more generally, in organizational management.

“Creating work environments where creativity can grow …Environments capable of inspiring new solutions!”

From this thought of Raffaele Pezzoli the idea of bringing art to the new Raytec headquarters was born: a sculpture by Viola Pettenati, winner of the “Creartivity” competition is in fact positioned at the entrance of the new headquarters. 
A work on canvas by the painter from Parma Enrico Robusti is instead positioned in the entrance hall.

The new Raytec Vision headquarters is inspired by design and construction criteria oriented towards functionality, sustainability and energy saving: liveability and comfort (lighting and temperature) are the two objectives pursued in the design and construction of the new Raytec Vision headquarters.

Headquarters test rooms

Fresh room
In this 450 sqm room there are 4 different types of machines, all designed to pursue that level of safety and food quality that is essential for customers. The environment is controlled in terms of temperature and humidity and is completely washable and sanitised, thus recreating the exact hygienic conditions of the production plants. In this room the customer can carry out tests on preserved vegetables and fruit, fish and confectionery products.

X-Ray room
The X-RAY room is the only test room with air conditioning. Next to the room there is a warehouse to store the contaminated products to be used during the tests. In this room there are two different Raybox and Rayview inspector machines. Here our customers can perform tests to detect foreign bodies on various types of packaging such as cans, cardboard bricks, plastic bottles, glass jars and glass bottles.

Hot-Frozen room
The HOT-FROZEN room is designed to recreate the typical production environment of frozen products as well as dried fruit.

The 250 sqm room is air conditioned and can be programmed to control temperature and humidity, mainly for different situations:

tests on frozen fruit and vegetables with a temperature of -7°C and 80% humidity;
tests on fresh-cut products with a temperature of 7°C and 90% humidity;
tests on dried fruit, such as almonds, walnuts and hazelnuts, with a temperature of 30°C, humidity of 60%.
