The value of our production
Every production step, from dosing to final quality control, is guided by a fundamental principle: precision. With automated processes, advanced laboratory instruments and full traceability, IonPlast guarantees repeatable results and reliable materials.
Advanced manufacturing
Automated equipment and advanced software enable us to produce customized materials, handle large and small volumes, and ensure uniformity between batches.
Indoor laboratory
Certified instruments and tests on each batch allow us to verify mechanical, thermal and visual properties with rigorous standards.
Verified quality
Recorded technical data, documented inspections, on-demand sheets, and constant support-each delivery is built with responsibility and method.
Production plant
Industrial-scale production designed for large volumes and special batches.
The plant is fully automated, software-controlled, and designed for high-efficiency, repeatable machining.

Energy Efficiency
IonPlast also integrates the principles of environmental sustainability into the production phase. The plant is equipped with an 800 kWh photovoltaic system that provides clean energy, helping to reduce the overall environmental footprint of processing. This focus on efficiency is also reflected in the choice of raw materials, management of production cycles, and waste optimization.
-
Self-production of energy through photovoltaic system
-
Reduction of environmental impact and CO₂ emissions.
-
Efficient use of resources and focus on circularity
Automation and process
The strength of our production system lies in its integrated automation. All stages-from ingredient weighing to mixing, from extrusion to packaging-are managed by a centralized computer system that monitors and records every processing parameter. This enables us to offer traceable, repeatable and customizable production with great precision, even for complex or tailor-made formulations.
-
Centralized control of each production line
-
Continuous monitoring of temperature, dosage, speed and pressure
-
Full traceability of recipes and batches produced
-
Ensuring repeatability and consistency among supplies
Indoor laboratory
Inside the plant is a quality control laboratory equipped with advanced instrumentation for physical-mechanical, thermal, optical and chemical tests. Each batch is verified before delivery, with checks conducted according to ISO and ASTM standards. This enables us to supply materials that conform, perform and are always reliable.
