What Plastore srl does

Plastore S.R.L. is an Italian private limited company headquartered in Villamarzana (Rovigo), Veneto, operating what it describes as Italy's only dedicated outlet for thermoplastic granules and regrind materials. Its core offering is a B2B e-commerce and trading platform covering roughly 35 polymer categories — including ABS, ASA, polyamide grades (PA6, PA66, PA66.6, PA11, PA12, PA46), polymer blends (PC/ABS, PC/PBT, PC/PET), masterbatches and additives, regrind materials, and plastic processing machinery — with a stocked catalogue of 1,514 materials and the ability to source non-listed items through its supplier network. The company holds UNI EN ISO 9001:2015 certification (Certiquality, since November 2016 and renewed through 2025). It operates three sites: the Villamarzana HQ and warehouse, a head office in Stanghella (Padova), and a second warehouse in Boara Pisani (Padova), supporting same-day domestic delivery within Italy.

The business runs a two-sided Buy & Sell model. On the sell side, the company moves its own stocked inventory of virgin engineering polymers, regrind, masterbatches, and machinery to Italian manufacturers. On the buy side, it purchases surplus warehouse inventory from other producers and distributors at a 3% discount with 10-day payment terms, then resells through the same platform — an inventory-arbitrage flow. Revenue is transaction-based (quote-driven), with no publicly disclosed pricing or contract structures. GTM is direct-to-customer via online catalogue plus direct warehouse sales, supplemented by presence at MECSPE (Parma) and FAKUMA (Germany) trade fairs and editorial coverage in industry publications such as MACPLAS and Tecnoplast. The 'Mr Plastore' comic-character brand initiative, launched in 2018, supports differentiation in a fragmented industrial-trading market. The company is closely held, with no external investors, and reports a headcount in the 1-10 range against a €10,000 registered share capital.

Direct peers

• Distrupol: European distributor of thermoplastic resins (polyolefins, engineering polymers, specialties) headquartered in the Netherlands with offices across Europe. Direct comparable to Plastore in serving plastic converters with technical product support.
• Velox: European specialty plastics distributor focused on engineering polymers, composites, and specialty additives. Comparable to Plastore's specialty polymer offering (PA, PC, PPS, PEI) and B2B converter customer base, with stronger technical service.
• TER Group: Specialty plastics distributor focused on engineering thermoplastics, compounds, and recycled materials across Europe. Overlaps with Plastore on engineering polymer categories (PA, PC, blends) and the regrind/PCR side of the business.
• Ultrapolymers: Pan-European distributor of polyolefins, styrenics, and engineering polymers serving injection molders and converters. Operates a similar granule-outlet model to Plastore, including technical service, with warehouses across multiple European countries.
• Resinex: European plastics raw materials distributor specializing in thermoplastics (polyolefins, styrenics, engineering polymers) for injection molding and extrusion converters. Closely comparable to Plastore in product mix and B2B converter customer base, though with broader pan-European coverage.

Regional players

• Plastribution: UK-based plastics raw materials distributor for injection molding and extrusion converters, covering commodity and engineering polymers. Comparable product mix to Plastore but serving the UK market rather than Italy.
• Chase Plastic Services: North American specialty plastics distributor focused on engineering and high-performance resins for injection molders and extruders. Comparable to Plastore in engineering polymer focus (PA, PC, PPS, PEEK) and converter customer base, though geographically focused on the US/Canada.
• Gazechim Plastics: France-based distributor of thermoplastics (polyolefins, engineering polymers, recycled materials) serving converters across Western Europe. Comparable to Plastore's commodity-plus-specialty mix and converter customer base, with primary focus on the French market.

Broad incumbents

• Nexeo Plastics: Global plastics resins distributor serving injection molding, extrusion, and blow molding customers across Europe, Americas, and Asia. Comparable thermoplastic product portfolio (PE, PP, ABS, PC, PA) and converter customer base as Plastore, but with global reach and significantly larger scale.
• Biesterfeld: One of Europe's largest plastics distributors, offering a broad portfolio of commodity and engineering polymers across multiple European countries. Directly comparable to Plastore's thermoplastic granule distribution model but at vastly greater scale and geographic reach.
