ITP

What ITP does

ITP (Industria Termoplastica Pavese S.p.A.) is an Italian family-owned manufacturer of flexible plastic films founded in 1972 and headquartered in Bosnasco, Oltrepò Pavese. The company operates a fully integrated production chain from granule to printed film, producing co-extruded polyethylene films using proprietary single-bubble, triple-bubble (Tripla Bolla), and advanced extrusion technologies. Its portfolio spans high-barrier films, vacuum skin films (ClearSkinPack), shrink films, peelable films, thermoforming films (Deepflex), and a comprehensive sustainable line including mono-material recyclable films (RecyBariflex, RecySealflex), PCR-content films (RecyTermoPCR), and compostable films (Combioflex), plus a dedicated PVC-free pharmaceutical packaging portfolio (PharmaLAY) and a world-leading self-adhesive surface protection film line (Serie F/Fmasking). Triflex, produced on Italy's only triple-bubble extrusion line, delivers bi-oriented barrier films up to 30% thinner than conventional laminated films.

ITP serves four primary verticals: food packaging (meat, poultry, dairy, frozen, ready meals), pharmaceutical and medical packaging, industrial surface protection (plastic sheets, metals, glass), and cosmetics/personal care. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales through technical sales professionals, co-development partnerships with packaging machine OEMs (G. Mondini, Macchi) and material suppliers (Dow), a global distributor network for masking films spanning Europe, USA, South America, and Asia, and lead generation through major international trade shows (Interpack, Cibus Tec, Gulfood Manufacturing, K 2025, PACK EXPO). Revenue is generated through one-time B2B sales of standard and custom films plus pre-formed bags and pouches (Doypack, gusset, 3-side seal) at undisclosed project-based pricing.

The company differentiates through a dense certification stack (ISO 9001/14001/45001, BRC Packaging, ISCC Plus, Cyclos-HTP, TÜV OK Compost, PSV, Halal valid through 2028, EcoVadis 2025), 14 patent filings, registered proprietary brands, recognition as Italy's only triple-bubble extruder, and Società Benefit (Benefit Corporation) status with published annual sustainability and impact reports. Named enterprise customers include Orogel, Graphic Packaging, Dow, and Macchi.
