COMPANY DESCRIPTION

Nicola De Martin has been a forester in the Belluno area since 1978. Following an accident at work, he lost his right arm but, despite this, he continues his activity with his son-in-law and two other collaborators, also thanks to a modification of the Forwarder control system that allows him to operate with only one arm. After years of experience, De Martin has become a point of reference for the industry and works with both private companies and public institutions.

FUNDED INTERVENTION

Thanks to the RDP interventions, De Martin has purchased forestry machinery that is essential for the development of its business, including a crane with grapple and rotor (forwarder), a tractor with forestry equipment, a trailer with loader, a forestry processor and a pulley cable. The interventions have enabled the company to triple the amount of timber processed. The purchase of such innovative machinery was also crucial in coping with the devastating consequences of the Vaia storm.
