Lapafil S.A, a Spanish company dedicated to the manufacture of fixing products since 1955, has added a new injection line to meet increasing demand in nylon clamps and nylon plugs in its domestic, as well as international, markets.
Currently Lapafil exports its products to more than 50 countries around the world and the investment was necessary to increase production capacity to enable it to continue to grow and reduce delivery times.
“We produce around 50 million nylon plugs, more than 10 million nylon clamps, and around 10 million plastic clips, annually,” points out Oscar Jurado, general manager at Lapafil. “To continue to grow the new injection line was critical and we are very happy it is now up and running.”
In addition to its nylon range, Lapafil’s production of metal parts – such as anchors and single and double clips – has also seen a major increase in the last 2 years. “Production of steel clips already amounts to more than 7 million pieces a year and we are already planning future investments to further grow this range of products,” mentions Oscar.
Lapafil is also focusing this year on its brand, with the launch in the market of a modern and attractive new packaging design. Its marketing team is confident that this new approach will provide greater visibility and easier identification for Lapafil products, thus expanding its position and presence in both domestic and international markets.
“Thanks to these new developments, and despite the current macro-economic uncertainty, we believe that 2019 will be a very productive year for Lapafil,” states Oscar.
