The key feature of Soft-Touch components is the thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) coating, chemically and mechanically bonded, which guarantees a reliable grip even in less-than-ideal conditions, such as humidity, grease, or high temperatures. The ergonomic shape and soft finish enhance operator comfort and contribute to vibration absorption, reducing hand fatigue during repetitive or precision tasks.

Thanks to these characteristics, the Soft-Touch products are particularly suitable for applications where continuous human-machine interaction is required, demanding control, tactile sensitivity, and operational safety.

In the medical sector and for precision instruments, Soft-Touch knobs and handles allow accurate adjustments, improving control and reducing manual stress even during prolonged use.

In fitness and rehabilitation equipment, and for users with disabilities, the Soft-Touch coating ensures a stable, comfortable grip even with sweat, enhancing safety and usability.

In material handling machinery and gardening equipment, often used in demanding environments, the TPE finish ensures operational reliability even in the presence of dirt, moisture, or temperature fluctuations.

Among the flagship products of the line, the M.343-SOFT bridge handle recently won the prestigious German Design Award 2026, an international recognition of innovation and excellence in industrial design. The handle is made of black technopolymer with a matte finish and features Soft-Touch TPE inserts available in orange, red, green, and grey. The hardness of the inserts is 70 Shore A, providing an optimal balance of comfort, durability, and safety.
