Corti Srl for Milano Cortina 2026: self-extinguishing plastic components for the safety of the Olympic Village

For the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympic Games, Corti Srl contributed to the construction of the new Olympic Village, which will host around 1,400 Olympic and Paralympic athletes.

The facility was designed with a long-term vision: after the event it will become a student residence for university students in Milan. It is a concrete example of urban regeneration and of improved services for the academic community.

Our contribution: technology and safety for controlled access

Thanks to our experience in technical plastics, we were selected by a leading building services company to supply plastic components for an access control system at the Olympic Village.

It is a connected solution that reads an identification code, validated by software installed on a smartphone or tablet, to ensure accurate monitoring and protection against unauthorised access.

Self-extinguishing plastic components certified UL 94 V-0: safety first

The device we produced consists of self-extinguishing plastic components, including a flush-mounted box designed to house the microchip and a cover plate with four integrated caps for the fixing screws.

The solution is also shown in the video of the Milan Olympic Village by Corriere TV, which documents the spaces and the technical solutions adopted.

The material we used is certified UL 94 V-0, in line with the strictest standards for fire behaviour. In a context where fire safety is a top priority, our knowledge of the applicable regulations and classifications guided us in choosing a highly self-extinguishing and durable material, able to ensure high levels of protection.

High-performance plastic material: self-extinguishing, durable and customisable

When selecting a high-performance plastic material, fire behaviour was only one of the criteria assessed.

In addition to UL 94 V-0 certification, the material has high mechanical and chemical resistance, essential to ensure the structural durability and functional stability of the device over time, even in critical or demanding environments.

We also made it possible to customise its appearance by painting, so that the plastic components can blend in visually with the surrounding architectural surfaces without compromising the technical properties of the material.

Milano Cortina 2026: an industrial milestone that celebrates innovation, quality and professionalism

Corti Srl took part in building the infrastructure for the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympic Games, developing high-performance self-extinguishing plastic components for the access control system of the Olympic Village.

The project required technological solutions able to combine safety, durability and aesthetic integration: a concrete application of our expertise in technical plastics for security systems. It involved complex coordination, production precision and strict regulatory compliance, confirming our ability to work effectively even in the most demanding industrial contexts.

Contributing to the systems built for the Winter Olympic Games is a prestigious assignment for Corti Srl, one that recognises the company’s commitment and technical skills and confirms its ability to face the challenges of modern industry with competence, reliability and an innovative vision.

A project we are proud of and a significant recognition of our industrial journey.
