www.filp.it

1957 - The foundation: FILP (Insulations and Plastic Laminates Factory) was founded in October 1957 by Eugenio Marcassoli.

The company set out with the production of continuous plastic laminates, phenolic or melamine paper, used mainly for industrial purposes as electrical insulation but also for decorative purposes as a coating of the wooden panels. Then, with the spread out in Italy of bakelite, cotton cloth and fiberglass, the product range was extended.

1960 - 1970 - The success on the national market: - FILP is a supplier of the most important Manufacturers of electrical equipment in the domestic market; - Beginning of the production of components for cassettes, which is a particularly tough market due to the competition of the far east countries.

2020 The challenge

FILP S.r.l.

1970 - 1990 - The years of growing: - Construction of the plant in Tribiano (MI), very advanced in terms of environment respect due to the installation of an advanced exhausts treatment plant with post-combustion process for the purification of the exhausts and energy recovery.

- The Isoltubi is founded in Zanè (VI): the company was specialized in the manufacture of tubes and cylinders made of composite materials, later on it shall be acquired by FILP. - The Texas Instruments Italy gives FILP, together with the Japanese TDK, the worldwide recognition for the quality, the “Supplier quality award”.

- The export on foreign markets successfully begins.

2000 - 2010 - The success on the international markets: - FILP is a supplier of the most important machinery manufacturers for the production and transformation of electricity in the world.

- More than 50% of production is exported.

1990 - 2000 - Development: Technology - Quality Environment - The production of components for the cassettes is stopped while the plants for the production of sheets and tubes are completed with automation, thus achieving a remarkable increase of production capacity and improvement of efficiency and quality.

- A modern system is installed for exhausts control, combining respect for the environment and compliance with regulations, with significant energy savings.

- The quality of the process is accompanied by the quality of the product further to the achievement of ISO9001 certification.

2020 - The challenge: We are pursuing the development of new products by providing our customers also with consulting and services; we propose ourselves not only as a valuable supplier but also as a fully reliable and efficient partner.

We are investing in technology, people and communication to make our products and our way of doing business well known to the market.

2014 - The new impulse: the Human Factor After the years of the dramatic international economic crisis, in which FILP managed to maintain its positions, it was necessary to respond to external hints with a new, slimmer and more efficient organizational structure able to seize new business opportunities.

Services Strategy and constant evolution: the competitive strength of FILP The strategic choice of FILP today, in an increasingly dynamic and constantly evolving market, is aimed to individuate solutions which satisfy customers’ requirements fulfilling their specific needs. This is possible thanks to a team of qualified technicians.

This constitutes, together with the acquired know-how, the competitive force of the company: the ability of “problem solving” necessary to always find the right solution.

What makes us special

Expertise, experience and creativity The R & D activities play a role of excellence within FILP company’s mission.

The R & D team of FILP is able to develop, working in synergy with the client, the technical solutions required for the production of composite materials.

The working group has a well-equipped chemical-mechanical-electrical laboratory. The wide range of manufactured products and diversification across market fields, are a clear confirmation of the high commitment and creativity that characterize the R& D team of FILP. A team dedicated to the study of technological innovations aimed to improve products, create new manufacturing processes or improve the already existing ones.

The quality controls for development The control of the chemical composition of the products is made with the aid of instruments such as FTIR spectrophotometer, calorimeter, viscometer and other devices suitable to check the constancy of the quality of the purchased materials. Then there are control instruments on production lines and tools for the mechanical and dielectric verifications on the final composite products.

From the entry of raw material to the finished product, there are more than 20 control steps. The monitoring procedures are supported by six-sigma statistical techniques ensuring greater confidence in the achievement of the required quality standards.

Product and process quality Our laboratory applies a strict and continuous control system, constantly performing tests to ensure that international standards of quality are complied.

FILP is certified ISO 9001, and their staff has got two green belts specialized in lean production and Six Sigma.

Environmentally friendly business The care for the environment is one of the company values: it belongs to every single phase of production (photovoltaic plant, thermal energy recovery, process water recovery).
