Corriere della Sera, the major newspaper for circulation in Italy, once again investigates the phenomenon of planned obsolescence, or "the strategy that defines the life cycle of a product at the time of design, in such a way as to make it unusable or obsolete after a fixed period of time".

There are several surveys around the world to see if companies actually sell their products with the pre-filled expiration date.
RAASM, as you know, has always fought against this philosophy: our belief, expressed also in the company mission, is the creation of articles of very long duration, pursuing the highest quality possible through the care of every detail.

Lastly, 5 years of warranty on all non-electronic equipment and the availability of kit-parts are the assurance that purchasing a RAASM item is synonymous of safety, efficiency and future-proof.
