TECHNOLOGY

From the wooden board through to the stopper, cork goes through a number of steps which differ depending on the type of stopper being produced.

ARDias’ innovation and competitive edge comes from its focus on the Boiling and Volatile Extraction phase, as it is one of the most important steps in determining the Stopper’s effectiveness with regards to the sensoriality guarantee.
