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 35 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.
Due to technology acquisition of the Spanish brand VELA, start from 2023 FAP’s range of machines will complete with new versatile solutions for packaging sector: cutting machines, welding machines and folders for foam & bubble film.
And finally this year FAP's long and rich international experience is at the complete disposal of the entire FOAM WORLD. Thanks to "little copy" of foam extruder in our internal laboratory together with our customers, raw material producers and research centers, we can create, test and approve new solutions capable of anticipating the ever-changing foam market demand or even changing the competitive scenario.
In FAP the PERSONAL approach has an INTERNATIONAL vocation.
