NEGRI BOSSI strengthens its presence in Benelux with the appointment of a new agent with over 13 years’ experience in the market.

CS Plastics is a growing company, founded in 2008 by Werner Vanderveken and Jurgen Lippens. Previous to this, they were colleagues in the field of the injection moulding machines.

CS Plastics supplies complete solutions for plastic processing companies. The service follows all stages of the process, from the supply of plastic material to the injection machines and ancillaries. Where necessary, the service also includes the supply of special, bespoke equipment, utilizing their vast experience to create total production solutions.

CS Plastics has a facility in Lokeren (Belgium). They retain a comprehensive stock of materials, guaranteeing efficient delivery to its customers.

A widespread presence in Benelux, a qualified sales network and high technical experience make CS Plastics the ideal partner for Negri Bossi’s continued growth in this important market.

During this pandemic, many companies in our sector converted part of their production to projects for containing the spread of COVID-19.

With this in mind, plastics moulding and assembly company ELLE. Bi. ASSEMBLAGGI Srl started production of COVID mask cases and hooks on a Negri Bossi 65 tonne machine.

The company, founded in 1995 from the entrepreneurial idea of Luca Postorino, has a 900 sqm plant in Genoa and specialises in plastic moulding, mainly for the Construction and Boating sectors.

The project, designed for hospital needs, was entirely conceived and funded by ELLE. Bi. ASSEMBLAGGI Srl. They have also distributed free of charge masks to hospital companies in the area.

The production involves the moulding of a mask case and the hook that supports the mask itself. The whole process is designed to provide a hygienic service to the user. In addition to the case being elegant and comfortable, it prevents the mask from coming into contact with surfaces that are not perfectly clean.

The plastic hook, which is packaged with the mask case, is convenient as it prevents the mask from having to be supported by the ears all day.

The project is planned to achieve a full productivity capacity of 5000 pieces per day.

In addition to the injection moulding machine, Negri Bossi has also provided the peripheral equipment to support the full cell. This includes equipment for dehumidifying drying, granulation and mould thermoregulation.

The Negri Bossi area agent, Mr. Mauro De Pascali, impressed by the project, decided to collaborate in the final phase and sponsorship.

In the Italian scenario, many companies are converting part of their production into devices to deal with the emergency, continuing to develop projects for the community that can improve situations of coexistence with Coronavirus. Negri Bossi who since April 9, 2020 has been using two injection machines to produce masks for the community through the help of the Lombard Civil Protection to counter the spread of COVID‐19, the most serious pandemic of this beginning of the century, is working in collaboration with another all‐Italian company: COMPLASTIC Srl.

The company born in 1984 from the business idea of Salvatore D’Alise today has a 2000 sq. m plant in the Maddaloni Valley in the province of Caserta and specialises in thermoplastic moulding and patented coinfection mainly for the Automotive, Food sectors, Textile and Personal Protective Equipment. 

With strong know‐how in the plastic moulding sector, Complastic Srl is developing a project to produce glasses and a face shields thanks to an injection moulding machine delivered by Negri Bossi to the company in record time. This project was funded by Invialia for the Cura Italia decree in order to deal with the emergency of Covid‐19.

The aim is, therefore, to convert part of the production into the moulding of glasses and DPI / DM screens; at present, the procedures required by the Legislative Decree itself for PPE are in progress. (reference D.L. 17 March 2020 n. 18, art. 16, c. 2.).

The design of the two objects produced fully reflects the characteristics required by the EN166: 2004 standards, in addition, efforts have been made to give maximum transparency to the glasses also on the side,  so that the wearer’s visual field is not diminished and with the purpose to decrease the mental tiredness caused by the use of the object for many consecutive hours.

In the work area for the project at the Complastic Srl company, the expected productivity at full capacity will be 2000 pieces per day for both glasses and face shield.

All this has been possible thanks to a symbiotic work, as well as with Negri Bossi also with ADM who made the mould of the glasses, with Moretto SpA who supplied the ancillaries of the machine (Polymer dehumidification plant, granulation plant that moulds thermoregulation), with the supplier of the raw material AT & Service srl  (Pastorano ‐ CE) and that of the packaging, Paper Sun Sas. 

The virus is raging and there seems to be no way out but in this situation that for the first time we all found ourselves living, reshaping our lives, it is our duty to strive to find a solution, to be an active part in the  transformation that we are living and running towards “normality”.
