In mid-July, the Hromatka Group expands its Europe-wide network of local sales companies in the plastics industry to central and southern Italy: With the acquisition of the southern Italian family-owned company Sotac Tecnopolimeri, the Italian market will benefit from the expanded product portfolio of the European group based in Austria and Switzerland.
As the south of Italy has so far played a rather subordinate role in the portfolio of the Hromatka Group, which operates throughout Europe, this will change with the acquisition of Sotac Tecnopolimeri. In addition to Guzman Polymers, which belongs to the group and is based in northern Italy, the catchment area of the new “family member” extends from the province of Marche to the south, thus perfectly complementing the group’s field of activity.
Sotac Tecnopolimeri specializes in engineering plastics such as PA, POM, ABS, PBT, PC, PC-ABS and PP compounds. With well-known manufacturers such as Radici, Vamptech, Cossa Polimeri and Kolon, the Italian plastics expert not only brings new suppliers into the Hromatka Group’s supply portfolio, but also benefits from an expansion of the product range itself, including with products from the Group’s own compounder SAX Polymers.
The aim of the Pigini family, who have managed Sotac Tecnopolimeri for over 50 years, has always been to be number one in meeting the various needs of its customers through reliability, material quality, security of supply, a broad product portfolio and technical advice. As of July 11, 2023, the company will have a new owner, but neither the goal nor the management will change: The Hromatka Group – also a family business – has always emphasized regionality. This is why Sotac will remain an independent Italian company in the future. The employees, who are part of the family both here and there, will continue to be able to live out their passion for plastics.
