SIPA Srl has added nylon cable ties to its wide range of products, offering customers a high-quality product range to go alongside its steel cutting and plastic pressing capabilities.

Founded in 1989 for the production of plates and angles for hardware, SIPA has its own catalogue of products, supplemented by developing steel cutting and plastic moulding services for third parties.

SIPA actually started pressing plastics in 1999 – as a complementary service – and continued to introduce a variety of plastic products such as adhesive hooks, key rings, duck hooks, as well as under chair caps. In 2001 the company developed its own mechanical shop, helping it to manage both mould maintenance and planning and implementation. Sipa is also the distributor of a new range of nylon cable ties, which is an example of the company’s continuous efforts to develop its product range to meet customers’ needs.

SIPA took further steps in its capabilities with the introduction of washer production in 2006. This gave the company the ability to produce a variety of sizes, to industry standards. Through a targeted marketing campaign, and participating at trade fairs across Europe, SIPA has also been able to expand into new markets abroad.

The most recent development at SIPA was the expansion of its headquarters in 2018 with the addition of a new 7,500m² extension to its existing 9,000m² building.

The new facility has enabled the company to expand four key departments:

• Steel cutting: Including 30 automatic presses, with capacities ranging from 50 to 250 tonnes, for cutting sheet coils.
• Plastic pressing: Composed of 10 automatic presses, ranging from 50 to 430 tonnes, for pressing plastic material from granules. An additional 250 tonne bicolour press enables the use of two different materials or two different colours simultaneously.
• Mechanical workshop: The machine park consists of three work centres, three grinding machines, one lathe, one radial drill, one microdrill, one erosion bath and three wire eroders.
• Warehouse: 7,000m² capacity ensuring fast delivery, which has always been a characteristic of SIPA’s service. The warehouse also houses three automatic packaging lines for both bags and boxes and various manual packaging machines – to satisfy all customer demands.

“From a simple idea, a sample, or a technical drawing, we are able to develop the design and detail of a mould both for steel and plastic articles. We can even produce parts using moulds from other firms, provided on a rental basis only. Additionally, we provide all the necessary maintenance during and after production, which enables us to supply excellent product quality combined with competitive prices.”
