Rotomoldagem

What Rotomoldagem does

Rotomoldagem is a Portuguese rotational molding (rotomoldagem) manufacturer founded in 1996, specializing in the series production of plastic parts using the rotational molding process. The company processes 800 tonnes of polymers annually across more than 600 product references, operating from a 10,000 m² covered industrial facility in Alhos Vedros, Portugal, with four Polivinil-brand rotational molding machines capable of producing parts up to 20 m³ in volume. Its product portfolio spans six verticals: environmental and water management (SAAP rainwater harvesting systems, ROTOX wastewater treatment, storage tanks), industrial and workshop (hydrocarbon separators, OLEÃO oil tanks, retention basins), agriculture and livestock, nautical and marine (floating boxes, buoys, marina platforms), urban furniture and decoration (RoDesign brand with illuminated STAR and PINUS pieces), and construction equipment. The company's technology enables high design flexibility, uniform wall thickness, and double-walled products with EPS or PU foam insulation for thermal and acoustic resistance. Since 2019, it has operated an in-house mold design and manufacturing unit equipped with CNC machining and 3D scanning (MetraSCAN 750 Elite) capabilities.

The company operates a B2B, project-based sales model with quote-based pricing and no e-commerce channel. Its customer base includes municipalities (e.g., Câmara Municipal de Lisboa for public lighting tenders), industrial enterprises (e.g., OVO Solutions for 25,000 recycled containers annually), agricultural operations, and nautical/marina clients, with exports reaching European and African continents. Revenue is generated primarily through hardware sales of standard and custom products, supplemented by professional services in custom mold design, metrology, 3D scanning, and reverse engineering. The company holds ISO 9001:2008 certification (TÜV Rheinland, 2012), CE marking on applicable products under European standards (EN 858, EN 12566, EN 1825), and PME Líder status from IAPMEI since 2011. Since 2017, Rotomoldagem has operated as part of Group R&C, a corporate group that also includes the RoDesign urban furniture brand and an affiliated mold design entity.
