The “Clean Manufacturing” Plant

In 1997 Gallazzi decided to invest more than 30 Millions Euros to become a specialist in calendering rigid PVC film for the pharmaceutical and food industries.

.

The entire manufacturing process

From the introduction of the raw materials to the final packed product, the entire production process, including calendering, coating, lamination and slitting, is carried out in 1 single building, built according to GMP - Good Manufacturing Practices - standards.

Storage of resins

The storage capacity of resin (polymer) for the production of materials for pharmaceutical and food is 1.200 Tons

The storage silos have been constructed to avoid the risk of cross-contamination
