CUPRUMFOMA has always been attentive to the continuous evolution of the use of copper pipe for energies other than oil. That’s why it’s been supplying for many years the most important companies producing geothermal plants. The copper pipe and its coating represent the ideal solution to exploit the geothermal exchange offered by the most modern technologies in geothermal.
