What Plas Mec does

Plas Mec (PLAS MEC SRL) is an Italian industrial machinery manufacturer founded in 1967 by Filadelfo Marinello and headquartered in Lonate Pozzolo (Varese), Italy. The company designs and produces a complete range of industrial mixing equipment for plastics and powder coatings processing, including high-speed mixers (TRM), overturning container mixers (TRR), vertical universal mixers (TRA), turbomixers (TRG), laboratory mixers (TRL), horizontal blenders (MO/HUM/HEB) and integrated heating-cooling mixing systems (COMBIMIX HC/RV/RO, COMBIWOOD HC, COMBIBOND HC/B). Equipment sizes scale from 5-6 litre laboratory units to 23,000 litre industrial systems, and the portfolio is engineered for application-specific demands in PVC dry-blends, masterbatch pigmentation, thermoplastic rubbers, wood plastic composites, metallic-pigment powder coatings (ATEX-compliant bonding configurations), and — since 2019 — battery powder compounds. All machines are manufactured in-house at the company's 20,000+ m² Italian facility under an ISO 9001:2015 quality management system.

Revenue is generated primarily through one-time equipment sales, conducted via quote-based transactions with no public pricing disclosed. The company operates a sales-led go-to-market motion, reaching customers through a global network of independent sales agents and distributors covering more than 40 countries on all continents, supplemented by direct contact via the company website and a heavy calendar of international trade fair appearances (K, CHINAPLAS, PLAST, PlastIndia, PLASTIMAGEN, ARGENPLAS, RUPLASTICA, EQUIPLAST and others) inside the AMAPLAST Italian Pavilion. Customer end-markets are segmented by use case across PVC processors (primary), masterbatch producers, powder coatings manufacturers, WPC producers, and battery materials processors. After-sales revenue streams (spares and technical service) are served through dedicated email channels but are not quantified.

Plas Mec is a privately held, family-owned SRL with €100,000 share capital, now under second-generation leadership following the founder's passing in 2004. The company has no disclosed parent, no institutional investors, no subsidiaries, no M&A activity, and no external funding rounds. Membership in AMAPLAST (Italian plastics and rubber machinery association), Confindustria Varese, and Plastics Europe provides industry-level engagement and trade fair access. There are no publicly disclosed revenue figures, customer logos, headcount trend, or financial statements.
