Luigi Poli, founder
Luigi Poli was a real pioneer in Italy when, during the 80′s, he specialized in design and production of machines and plants for the extrusion and transformation of foamed plastics.
Poli founded FAP in 1987 in the heart of the productive Brianza area and in a few years, thanks to his technical skills and entrepreneurial spirit, he established the company making it one of the main European players in the production of: foam extrusion lines for high-quality expanded films, fully automatic winders for foam & bubble wrap, lamination lines and cutting/welding units.
FAP distinguishes itselves from competitors because the plants only have proprietary technology, which is the result of constant dialogue with the production departments of customers. Each plant meets the requirements of Industry 4.0 to ensure the customer maximum efficiency, reduced energy consumption, accurate control of temperatures, pressures, raw materials and gas consumption.
The key to FAP’s success is based on pillars such as: quality, flexibility, competitiveness, innovation, attention to Customer’s needs. Over 37 years of history, FAP has sold complete lines to leading producers of non cross-linked polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) foam, always guaranteeing the service and reliability of its technology.
In 2020 Luigi’s sons Fabrizio and Francesco Poli have taken up the reins of FAP. Under their leadership the company carries on providing Customers with technological solutions that meet their needs and can help to achieve their goals.
Resumption of designing and machine construction with full technical service for Vela’s customers. FAP has always been inspired by the versatile solutions of the Spanish company Vela which represents the surname of its founder and inventor. Due to this fact the new FAP VELA brand was born: the union of their passions for high-performance and intuitive solutions and international experience. This fusion will allow to approach the market with the extension of the new range of solutions, which are extremely versatile machines for the packaging sector (foam film and bubble film): cutting machines, welding machines and folders.
