Founded in 1993 by entrepreneur Ghidini Imerio, Politec was established with a vision focused on innovation and the enhancement of plastic materials.
Within just a few years, the company consolidated its expertise by specialising in plastic injection moulding and developing specific skills in the recovery and valorisation of plastic waste.
A journey of growth built on expertise, experience and a strong focus on process efficiency, enabling Politec to evolve into a specialised partner in the processing and recovery of plastic materials.
In 2000, Politec expanded its business with the launch of EcoPallet, a range of lightweight pallets made from recycled plastic, designed to meet the needs of logistics and exports. Thanks to their composition, EcoPallet pallets do not require fumigation treatments, making them a practical and efficient solution for international shipments.
A new step in Politec’s journey, combining recycling, functionality and a focus on the needs of global logistics.
In 2009, Politec embarked on an important journey focused on energy savings and improving the efficiency of its production processes.
The company introduced its first fully electric Toyo 850 injection moulding machine, a benchmark technology in the field of electric presses.
This was the first concrete step towards more efficient, sustainable and energy-conscious production, marking the beginning of an innovation journey that would continue in the years ahead.
In 2016, Politec continued its journey towards greater energy efficiency with the installation of a system of inverters on two injection moulding machines.
This new technology makes it possible to adjust motor speed according to the actual requirements of the production process, reducing it when maximum power is not needed.
A targeted intervention that helped optimise energy consumption and further improve the efficiency of the company’s equipment.
In 2017, Politec took another important step in its energy-efficiency journey with the installation of a trigeneration plant.
This technology enables the integrated production of electricity, thermal energy and chilled water, optimising energy use and reducing losses associated with production processes.
A strategic investment that strengthened Politec’s commitment to increasingly efficient, sustainable production and responsible resource management.
In 2019, Politec entered a new phase of growth through a partnership with Jcoplastic, a major player in the plastics industry.
The agreement involved the transfer of a 50% shareholding, creating a strategic partnership with a leading industrial group.
This operation strengthened Politec’s market position and opened up new opportunities for development, growth and collaboration, while keeping the company’s experience and expertise at the heart of its business.
In 2021, Politec accelerated its digital transformation by adopting an Industry 4.0 solution for production monitoring.
All injection moulding machines were connected to a MES (Manufacturing Execution System), making it possible to collect and monitor key production data in real time.
This significant investment in digitalisation provides a constant and accurate overview of the production process, improving control, efficiency and the ability to respond promptly when needed.
In 2022, Politec continued its technological innovation journey by introducing articulated industrial robots dedicated to automating assembly operations.
The integration of robotics into production processes made it possible to automate and streamline assembly activities, ensuring greater continuity, precision and repeatability.
Another step towards increasingly automated, flexible and efficient production, in line with the principles of Industry 4.0.
In 2023, Politec continued its energy-efficiency journey with the installation of a new chiller equipped with free-cooling technology, replacing older refrigeration units that used R22.
The new system makes it possible to take advantage of favourable outdoor air conditions for cooling, reducing reliance on mechanical refrigeration and, consequently, energy consumption.
Replacing the existing systems also represented an important step towards modernisation and environmental sustainability, helping make the production process more efficient and reduce its energy impact.
In 2024, Politec renovated its offices through a major restyling project designed to create environments that are more modern, functional and aligned with contemporary design trends.
The renovation reflects the company’s desire to evolve its working environment as well, enhancing comfort, functionality and corporate image.
A forward-looking project that supports Politec’s growth through spaces capable of representing its identity, values and innovative vision.
In 2025, Politec took another important step towards energy efficiency and sustainability with the installation of a photovoltaic (PV) system.
This investment makes it possible to generate renewable electricity directly at the production facility, reducing reliance on electricity from the grid and helping to decrease the environmental impact of manufacturing activities.
Another important milestone in Politec’s journey towards increasingly efficient, responsible and sustainability-oriented production.
In 2025, Politec continued its journey of innovation and sustainability by investing in increasingly advanced technologies focused on efficiency.
The company installed an energy stabiliser to optimise the quality and management of its electrical power supply, helping improve equipment efficiency and ensure greater continuity in the production process.
Another step towards Industry 5.0, where technology, efficiency and sustainability come together to create an increasingly intelligent, responsible and future-oriented manufacturing model.
In 2025, Politec expanded its product range with the launch of the new Domus, Domus UP and Domus Bio lines, dedicated to door-to-door separate waste collection.
The new range includes containers from 7 to 50 litres, designed to meet a variety of needs, from household to professional waste collection.
With this new project, Politec offers functional, durable solutions designed to make separate waste collection simpler and more effective, confirming its ongoing commitment to innovation and sustainability.
