Overview:
PIOVAN has been operating in the plastics sector since 1964: during these fifty years it has reached many important milestones. While in the beginning the company concentrated on the development of plastic processing technology, it later adopted a strategy of specialization in conversion processes. Now it has extended its areas of expertise to include a number of sectors in which plastic materials are used. Ten years ago the company was divided into four divisions: Injection and Blow Moulding, Extrusion, PET Preforms and Optical Applications. At the beginning of 2013 there was a further re-organization with the introduction of 10 application sectors that correspond with specific industrial segments and products that Piovan, together with other companies from the group, is able to supply in highly specialised formats: PET Preforms & Bottles, Rigid Packaging, Automotive Components, Medical Solutions, Technical Parts, Thermoforming & Technical Sheets, Flexible Film, Pipes – Profiles – Cables, Fibres & Strapping, Recycling & Compounds.
At the same time, the strategy of strengthening its position worldwide has driven PIOVAN to acquire or create new companies, becoming a Group. In 2008 the group began its mission to strengthen its position in the marketplace with the acquisition of Universal Dynamics (Una-Dyn), a US-based company specializing is the design and production of storage, handling, blending and drying systems. German FDM, a leading name in blending systems for extrusion lines, joined the group in 2010. This was followed, at the end of 2014, by Penta, that designs and produces large-scale systems for the storage and handling of raw materials and ingredients in powdered form used mainly in the plastics and food and beverage industries. Aquatech, a new company founded to operate in the industrial refrigeration sector, opened its doors in January 2015 and represents a natural evolution of PIOVAN’s existing chiller department. Another member of the group, Energys, works mainly on the Italian market in the field of industrial energy efficiency.
Nowadays, PIOVAN is a group of seven production facilities, 25 sales and service branches and more than 70 distributors all over the world.
