Recently, Brianza Plastica decided to highlight how the company’s products are Made in Italy adding a label on both the packaging and in the sales literature. This is not only for a simple and proud enhancement of origin, but also to emphasize the underlying philosophy common among the greatest names in the Italian craftsmanship and industry.

This label makes Italian country recognizable all over the world for beauty, creativity, expertise and elegance, and Brianza Plastica wants to make itself an ambassador of this philosophy for products in the recreational vehicles’ market. Transferring this concept to both their employees and customers is an integral part of the work they are doing.

On the one hand Brianza Plastica push the concept of the new product development to the extreme, and on the other hand they try to offer their partners unexplored opportunities.

The RV market is the most challenging in this respect because Brianza Plastica laminates are applied to different parts of the vehicles, and each of these applications requires very specific technical and aesthetic characteristics. The fact that their product range has expanded so much in recent years is precisely a snapshot of how Brianza Plastica stands by its partners on current and future projects.

These have been complex years in terms of the cost dynamics of raw materials and transportation, but, working in partnership with customers, they have managed to contain increases as much as possible without absolutely compromising the product quality. Also, from the logistical point of view, the lack of and the delays in deliveries of some components have complicated the operations of the entire supply chain quite a bit, but thanks to careful planning the company have managed to respond promptly to sudden changes in our customers’ productions.

“The first half of 2024 was positive, thanks in part to the residual order backlog of 2023, expectations on the second half seem to be on the downside although we are counting on containing thanks to our relationships with partners and the various new products that will be brought to market soon. We hope that Caravan Salon 2024 will, as has been the case for a few years now, be a booster for the industry and that volumes will remain at last year’s levels. In any case, we will, as always, be present throughout the fair and invite our partners to our booth 13E88 to discuss news for the coming year,” says Davide Verde, Area Manager grp flat laminates of Brianza Plastica.

“Despite this moment of calm in the market for the reasons just highlighted, there are markets in which we are growing strongly, thanks to the trust of new customers who have tried our quality and service moving then to a constant and growing supply of new models, thus increasing our market shares, especially in the UK and US. New frontiers will now see us increasingly engaged in the Asian markets, which are expanding and renewing more than in the recent past,” concludes Andrea Bollani, Area Manager fiberglass laminates division.

Elycold Std: these grp flat laminates have the polym erization process at ambient temperature. The result is perfect flatness, which is an indispensable feature for the production of very high-quality panels, with very good aesthetics. The excellent dimensional stability of Elycold Std laminates is guaranteed by the use of fiberglass chopped strand mat, which can be combined with woven roving reinforcement, to further improve the mechanical features of the laminate.

Elycold Extra-Glass: it comes in rolls and sheets with gelcoat, and it has increased mechanical performances. Moreover, it is characterized by lightness, given by low specific weight and high mechanical strength, coming from the high percentage of glass content. In this way, all the vehicles which require high impact resistance, weight saving, and high aesthetic features can satisfy all these needs using Elycold Extra-Glass.

Elyplan Design PVC: is specifically studied to give the interiors’ floors of vehicles a unique and natural look. The Elyplan Design PVC grp laminates are created by applying a decorative PVC layer to the fiberglass re inforcement, directly during the production’s process. Thanks to this operation, there is no need for an extra adhesives’ coating: an environmentally friendly solution, which also helps to contain the panels’ weight, that is fundamental to improve fuel efficiency and the overall vehicles’ performance.
