Piovan: 50 years in the world of plastics

ITALY This year, Piovan is celebrating 50 years of leadership in auxiliary machinery for the plastic industry. In 1934 Costante Piovan & Figli was founded in Padua as a metalworking shop equipped with machine tools, such as lathes and a few milling machines, that took its name from its founder. A lot has happened, since 1964, the year when Piovan launched its first equipment on the Italian market – a granulator and a material loader. Today Piovan is a multinational company with 5 production facilities – in Italy, Germany, Brazil, China and the United States – 21 subsidiaries, agents in more than 70 countries and 900 employees, of which 140 are customer assistance engineers.
