It was one of the founding companies of the Italian-German Chamber of Commerce and It was the first company to import the first kilogram of polystyrene, the first cellulose acetate, the first injection molding machine and the first extruder to the Italian market. It’s a long story of successful partnerships with the world's leading producers of raw materials, which have led the company to become one of the most appreciated and well-known distributors in the industrial field.
