A GROUP THAT IS GROWING WITH ITS OWN MEANS In addition , in the last five years Union has also grown through the acquisition of the majority stake in companies such as Costruzioni Meccaniche Tecom , specialising in the production of extrusion lines for polyolefin and compostable biopolymer blown films and , recently , the majority share of Ceba Elettromeccanica , a specialist in the field of industrial automation . Finally , the company based in San Vittore Olona will be attending Plast 2023 , the international exhibition for the plastics and rubber industry running from 5 to 8 September at the Milano-Rho exhibition centre , an event that among other things will coincide with the sixtieth anniversary of Tecom , and the fiftieth birthday of Passoni .
