OMIPA Plastic Extrusion Machinery

What OMIPA Plastic Extrusion Machinery does

OMIPA S.p.A. is a privately held, family-owned Italian manufacturer of complete plastic extrusion and co-extrusion lines, founded in 1963 in Morazzone (Varese province) near Milan and now in its third generation of Cazzani family leadership with Fabio Cazzani as CEO. The company designs and builds turnkey extrusion systems — operating from a 20,000+ square meter facility — that process thermoplastics including PC, PP, HDPE, PMMA, PET, PS, ABS, and biodegradable materials into hollow profiles, sheets, films, foams, and optical-grade products. Its product portfolio spans five core line categories (Hollow Profile PC, Hollow Profile PP, Film/Foil/Foam Foil, High Optical Quality, and Technical/Thermoforming Sheet) plus downstream equipment, multi-layer coextrusion units (up to 7–9 layers), and specialty systems for PVC rigid/foam/Celuka and composite glass/carbon-fiber films. OMIPA holds four registered patents covering extrusion auto-dies, air cushion calibration, surge/melt-bank control, and thermic solar panel production, and develops its control software in-house.

The company sells primarily to enterprise manufacturers across building & construction, industrial packaging, packaging, electronics/display, and automotive/appliances segments, with named customers including Polygal, Assan Panel, Samsung/LG, DS Smith/Kaysersberg, SABIC, Whirlpool, Bayer MaterialScience, Evonik, and Plazit. Its go-to-market combines a direct enterprise sales team (led by Sales Director Raffaello Ramon for the western hemisphere) with an exclusive agent network covering 60+ countries across Europe, the Americas, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia. Revenue mechanics are dominated by hardware sales of customized capital lines (quote-based, project-priced) supplemented by spare parts and after-sales service; 95% of revenue is generated internationally. Recent strategic activity — including a 2026 facility expansion for testing and R&D, a 2026 Mexico City sales office opening, a February 2026 sustainable-formulation partnership with GCR achieving 47% CO2 reduction, and 2025 ISO 9001 / PCT certifications — signals continued investment in capacity, geographic reach, and circular-economy positioning.

Core offering

OMIPA designs, manufactures, and sells complete plastic extrusion and co-extrusion lines for processing thermoplastic materials including PC, PP, HDPE, PMMA, PET, PS, ABS, and biodegradable polymers. The portfolio spans five core extrusion line categories (Hollow Profile PC, Hollow Profile PP, Film/Foil/Foam Foil, High Optical Quality sheets, and Technical/Thermoforming Sheets) plus auxiliary downstream equipment such as coextrusion units, dies, calenders, cutting machines, and winders, with all design and production carried out in-house at the Morazzone, Italy facility.

Product overview

OMIPA Plastic Extrusion Machinery offers a comprehensive portfolio of complete extrusion and co-extrusion lines for the plastic processing industry. The product lineup includes five core extrusion line categories: Hollow Profile PC (polycarbonate panels for architecture/construction), Hollow Profile PP (polypropylene hollow profiles for packaging/logistics), Film/Foil/Foam Foil (for PP, PET, PS, PLA applications), High Optical Quality sheets (for display/lighting), and Technical/Thermoforming Sheets (for automotive/furniture). These are complemented by auxiliary downstream equipment including coextrusion units (up to 7-9 layers), dies, calanders, cutting machines, and winders. OMIPA's in-house manufacturing approach means all lines are designed and produced internally, with customization available for specific production requirements. The company also produces specialized equipment for PVC rigid/foam/Celuka products and composite films with glass/carbon fiber reinforcement.
