Amtrol-Alfa, founded in 1962, has consolidated its position as the largest gas cylinder manufacturer in Europe and one of the leading global exporters. Five decades of experience, an impressive list of patents and a track record of intensive research have propelled the company to a leading position in the market.
CPCECHO emerged as a natural choice. Amtrol-Alfa already had prior experience with some members of the CPCECHO team, which strengthened the confidence and conviction that it would be the ideal choice. CPCECHO's size, knowledge, quality of service and agility made it the perfect partner for Amtrol-Alfa's requirements.
"We had worked with some members of CPCECHO in the past, who we knew were excellent professionals, trustworthy and with proven experience. That prior relationship further reinforced the conviction that choosing CPCECHO as a partner was the best decision to meet our needs," explains Filinto Veloso.
Furthermore, they believe that CPCECHO's size was a "perfect fit" with the type of partner they were looking for: knowledge, quality of service and agility.
With CPCECHO's collaboration, Amtrol-Alfa designed a completely new network infrastructure, replacing the previous network, which was outdated and had several weaknesses. The project was based on three pillars: Quality in Network Passives; High-Performance Network Assets; Network Management based on the Aruba Central management platform. Amtrol-Alfa adopted a cloud-based solution, allowing for simpler and more integrated management.
On the DataCenter front, the company underwent a complete renewal, opting for HPE DL380 servers and storage via HPE Alletra. This renewal focused on resilience and the modernisation of operations.
The strategic partnership with CPCECHO redefined Amtrol-Alfa's internal operations. With a more robust and modern infrastructure, the company experienced remarkable stability and service availability. Agility and efficiency became hallmarks of daily operations, thanks to CPCECHO's continuous and personalised support.
The day-to-day relationship between Amtrol-Alfa and CPCECHO is characterised by excellence and speed. CPCECHO not only provides technical support, but has also built a relationship of trust, becoming a key strategic partner for Amtrol-Alfa's growth and innovation. "This strategic collaboration has been fundamental in driving Amtrol-Alfa towards success. CPCECHO has always managed to give us a quick response to the questions and challenges raised by our team," reports Filinto Veloso.
Strategic outsourcing has proven beneficial for Amtrol, allowing them to focus on their core activities while relying on CPCECHO's expertise to keep their technology up to date and competitive. It also allowed Amtrol to maintain competitiveness and innovation in the sector in which it operates, without the need to invest in its own resources to handle occasional or specialised requests. "This strategic collaboration ensured that the company was always prepared to face technological and market challenges, allowing it to differentiate itself from its competition," admit Filinto Veloso and Joaquim Mendes.
