There is no shortage of new developments at Main Tech , the first being the new headquarters out of which the company has been operating since last June . This new site , in San Giorgio delle Pertiche ( Padua ), may be the most tangible sign of the growth journey undertaken by this manufacturer of ancillary equipment for the processing of plastics , but it is certainly not the only one . “ To meet our growth and organisational objectives ,” explains Renato Pegoraro , CEO of Main Tech , “ we took on new staff , increasing our payroll by 35 %. In addition , by the end of 2022 , we will have 50 employees , up from the current 40 .” This development is needed to allow the company to handle a significant growth in turnover and orders : as things stand , the company will already be producing to capacity through to the end of July . This has created a need to reorganise the company , strengthening the technical ( electrical and mechanical ) and produc- tion departments , the marketing office and the sales side of things . Pegoraro points out that “ the 2021 results will show a strong increase in turnover : + 30 % on 2020 . What ’ s more , our 2022 business plan envisages further growth , in the order of 20- 25 %. We will shortly be setting out our plan for the following five years , which will include major investments to strengthen our current operations and the presentation of new products aimed at those involved in the processing , production and marketing of plastic materials .” The demand for automation and auxiliary equipment is very strong in all segments that make up the polymer processing industry . „ We aim to cover all these segments ,” explains Pegoraro “ but at the same time , since we are well positioned in the sector of large centralised plants , we are also addressing different markets . Our goal is to reach a turnover of about 20 million euros over
