and archival heritage
We work to preserve memory
Makros was born from the innovative idea of protecting the paper heritage preserved in archives from the risk of fire. The first patent for fire protection is Blockfire®, dating back to 2011, followed by six others for defense against water and bacteria, the main causes of paper deterioration. The patents, which can be combined with each other, are registered at a European level as well as in Turkey, China, the United States, and Canada.
Today, Makros is also involved in the defense of artistic heritage, from canvases to furnishings, photographic material, and material of historical interest and value.
The DNA of our brand is rooted in a deep respect for cultural heritage. We are committed to preserving the past, protecting the present, and ensuring that future generations can appreciate the beauty and knowledge contained in books and works of art.
We consider ourselves the guardians of our clients’ treasures. Our commitment to vigilance and attention to detail are the cornerstone of our brand.
Different expertise to preserve the past
The Founder and CEO is Massimo Luise. Makros, in addition to its 10 employees, each with different specific responsibilities, makes use of a Technical Scientific Committee that guides research and development. The committee includes mathematicians, biologists, architects, engineers, software experts, and university professors. The operational headquarters of Makros is strategically located in the SIPRO-Agency for Development incubators, near Tecnopolo.
From paper archives to the conservation of cultural heritage
Known worldwide for Blockfire®, the solution designed to protect archival contents from fire, today it combines multiple patents against damage from flames, biological deterioration, and water. Born to protect paper archival contents, Makros has evolved and specialized in the protection and conservation of artworks, textiles, and furnishings as well. Makros systems can also be equipped with anti-seismic features.
