Laminazione Sottile

What Laminazione Sottile does

Laminazione Sottile S.p.A. is an Italian industrial manufacturer of rolled aluminium semi-finished products, headquartered in San Marco Evangelista (Caserta), Italy, with 100 years of continuous operation since its founding in 1923. The company operates a vertically integrated group of 10 companies with combined production capacity exceeding 100,000 tonnes of rolled aluminium per year, spanning the full production cycle from foundry through hot rolling, cold rolling, annealing, surface treatments, and final cutting. Output covers thicknesses from 6 microns to 6 mm across multiple alloys, delivered as coils, sheets, strips, foil, plates, embossed aluminium, and multilayer pipe strip, with proprietary hydrophobic and hydrophilic coatings including nanotechnology-based lacquers produced through subsidiary Italcoat.

The company sells predominantly B2B on a quote-based pricing model tied to alloy specifications, thickness, quantity, and processing requirements, with no public price list. Customers span 10 industrial verticals: rigid packaging (closures, cans), semirigid packaging (food containers), flexible packaging (food and pharmaceutical foil), HVAC-R (heat exchangers and finstock), automotive (thermal/acoustic shields and structural components), aerospace, building and interior design (roofing, facades, insulation), multilayer pipes, general engineering (honeycomb, cable shielding, tapes), and standard coils & sheets. The customer base includes packaging manufacturers, automotive tier suppliers, HVAC system makers, construction companies, and engineering firms across Europe and internationally, served through direct sales rather than distribution intermediaries.

Downstream value-add is delivered through four key wholly-owned subsidiaries: Italcoat (coatings and surface treatments), Contital (aluminium containers and packaging), IPS Industrial Packaging Solution (flexible packaging and low-gauge foil), and i2r Packaging Solutions LTD (UK-based packaging). The group maintains an unusually broad certification stack including IATF16949 (automotive), ISO 9001/14001/45001, SA8000 (social accountability), EMAS (EU eco-management), AEO-F (customs), ASI Chain of Custody V2 and ASI Performance Standard (responsible aluminium sourcing), and EcoVadis Platinum (top 1% globally in non-ferrous metals). Sustainability positioning — anchored on aluminium's infinite recyclability and the company's audited responsible-sourcing credentials — is a stated commercial differentiator, particularly for ESG-mandated procurement by European automotive OEMs and global FMCG packaging buyers.
