WHE WERE BORN
When Taro Plast was founded in 1978, nobody could have envisaged
that the road from the small-time to the globalised market and
worldwide competition would have been such a windy and risky affair.
Some still remember ABS, the material with which the company first
set out. Yet so much has changed since then.

INNOVATION
Production of new compound based on PBT and PET got underway. We
start up a new production site expecially for PP compounds.
R & D worked to obtain best formulations for oven handles, flame
retardant compounds, new alloys and special fillers. |
DEVELOPMENT
In 1998 the company was acquired by a multinational colossus with
a solid background in thermosetting plastic, and Taro Plast was
assigned the task of producing thermoplastic under the Bakelite
brand for Europe. The company branched out in many directions from
this point on; the production capacity increased and the company
went from producing 9,000 to actual 30,000 tonnes. |
BACK TO THE
FUTURE
Since 2005 decisive steps have been taken, and now the timing is
right. In 2006, eight years on, ownership of Taro Plast returned
to its 1998 owner (Giuseppe Squeri S.a.p.a.) |
HISTORY TODAY
PP compound once again plays a part in the company’s destiny.
Indeed at the end of 2006, Taro Plast S.p.A. acquired Sori’s
entire compounding branch Actually Taro Plast produce 32.000 tons
per year with a large mix products, laboratories improve everyday
quality and technical winning caratheristics of its materials. |
