Over the years , Plastimontella , which was founded in September 1979 , has become specialised in the regeneration of plastic materials , focusing mainly on the production of highquality polyethylene from post-consumer and post-industrial waste . Over the past 45 years , the company has been led by its chairman and founding partner , Mario Merola . In that time , it has conserved its strong entrepreneurial roots and constantly increased its production capacity through a process of continuous modernisation . Thanks , in part , to the entry into the company of Mario ’ s son Marco , Plastimontella has renewed its entire production line , investing in cutting-edge technologies to guarantee topquality finished products and satisfy every market request . The plastic materials are procured through partnerships with specialised companies and important waste collection centres located in various Italian regions .
Plastimontella sets great store by the use of pre-selected raw materials , which are essential to guarantee the production of high-quality polyethylene pellets . The company expects the market for recycled materials to grow significantly in the coming years , despite current limitations due to slowing consumption . It is preparing to increase its production capacity to meet growing demand , and to this end is investing in the construction of a new production plant which will accommodate a total of four extrusion lines .
PRODUCTION PLANTS Plastimontella is equipped with two cleaning lines and two extrusion lines . It can process different types of polyethylene , transforming them into pellets , in different colours , that can then be used in various industrial sectors . www . plastmagazine . it
