What Simap Srl does

Simap Srl is a privately-held Italian limited liability company (Srl) founded in 2003 in Albino (Bergamo), Italy, that regenerates post-consumer and post-industrial plastic waste into secondary raw materials for industrial buyers. Its core product is a broad portfolio of recycled plastics — engineering and commodity grades including ABS, PA66, PA6, PC, PC/ABS, PMMA, PPS, POM, PBT, HDPE, LDPE, PP (homo and copolymer), HIPS, GPPS, and PET — supplied in granule and milled form, plus R-PET flakes from post-consumer bottles. The underlying technology combines mechanical processing (shredding, hot washing, flotation, centrifuging for PET) with an in-house analytical laboratory equipped with a Nicolet iS5 FT-IR spectrometer, Thermo Scientific OMNIC Specta software, and XRF heavy metals analysis for RoHS-2 compliance verification.

The company monetizes primarily through direct B2B sales of secondary raw materials, complemented by waste collection and recovery services, technical consulting, and quality control services. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Simap runs a sales-led go-to-market with dedicated department channels (sales, purchases, quality, logistics, administration) targeting European industrial manufacturers across the automotive, home appliances, textile fiber, and packaging (injection moulding and extrusion) verticals. A wholly-owned Polish branch in Sosnowiec (opened 2015) extends its geographic footprint, and the company holds ISO 9001:2015 and CSI environmental compliance certifications. Simap is founder/management-owned with no disclosed institutional investors, no disclosed management team, and no disclosed revenue or headcount.
