Omipa Extrusion

What Omipa Extrusion does

Omipa Extrusion (Omipa S.p.a.) is an Italian, family-owned designer and manufacturer of complete extrusion and co-extrusion lines for plastic sheet, foil, film, and hollow profiles, founded in 1963 and headquartered in Morazzone (Varese), Italy. The company operates from a 20,000+ sqm manufacturing facility with 140+ employees, including in-house mechanical, electrical, and software engineers, and runs a fully integrated design-to-production workflow with no outsourced manufacturing. Its product portfolio spans five core line families — Hollow Profile PC, Hollow Profile PP, Film/Foil/Foam, High Optical Quality, and Technical/Thermoforming Sheets — supported by patented proprietary technologies including the FLOATING PLATE and AIR CUSHION calibration system, the UV-SAVE coextrusion system (enabling 50-micron UV layers with up to 30% material savings), and an internally developed PLC control platform managing up to 400 process alarms with codified recipes.

The business model is custom capital equipment sales delivered through a sales-led GTM combining direct sales from Italian headquarters with an exclusive worldwide agent network covering 60+ countries; 95% of revenue is export-based and the company has shipped 400+ complete lines across more than 60 countries over six decades. Customers are industrial manufacturers in building and construction (PC/PP hollow profiles for roofing and cladding), automotive and consumer goods (thermoforming sheets for interiors, appliances, sanitaryware), industrial and agricultural packaging (PP/HDPE hollow profiles), and agriculture/horticulture (PC greenhouse profiles), with named flagship accounts including Samsung, LG, and sustainability-focused processors such as GCR. Pricing is quote-based on configuration (number of extruders, layer count, output up to 2000 kg/h, width up to 2500mm+), and recurring revenue derives from aftermarket services, spare parts, and the July 2025-launched Lab-Line R&D and customer-trial facility. The company holds granted patents dating from 1987 through 2009 and continues to ship new line configurations at a cadence of roughly one major product launch every six to twelve months, including PC/UVPC sheet (November 2025) and a high optical quality plus corrugated coextrusion platform (May 2026), with a new Mexico City office added in February 2026 to deepen LATAM coverage.
