Our Story

Magneti Plastic was founded in 1973 through the vision and determination of Mr. Valter Giavazzi, who brought with him significant experience gained at leading companies in the household appliance, petrochemical, and hydraulic sectors.

After two years as a representative for a major distributor of rubber and foam materials in the Milan area, Giavazzi decided to embark on a bold entrepreneurial adventure, establishing a company destined to make a mark.

Initially, the company focused on the commercialization of magnetic seals for refrigerators, from which the company's name originates. From the very beginning, the founder surrounded himself with skilled collaborators, appointing a production manager to oversee orders and personnel, while he dedicated himself to client relations and representation. This decision proved successful, and the company grew steadily.

In 1992, Raffaella Giavazzi, the founder's daughter, decided to join the family business. Her journey began in production, where she immersed herself to fully learn about materials, processes, and production times.

She accompanied her father on client visits and trade fairs, acquiring an in-depth understanding of the market's technical requirements and developing an ability to interact with respect and competence. Over time, her role evolved to include company management, with a particular focus on production and client relations.

Today, Raffaella proudly leads the company, working closely with managers and clients' technical offices to develop prototypes and innovative solutions.

A Company in Continuous Evolution

Over the years, Magneti Plastic has expanded its production sectors, becoming a reference point for the production of:

  • Soundproofing panels in polyurethane and Fonitek sheets.
  • Seals made of natural and synthetic rubber.
  • Sewn and custom-shaped expanded filters.
  • Sleeves in polyester or nylon fabric, sewn directly onto PVC rings.
  • Heat protection sewn in expanded melamine, used in boilers, steam cleaning machines, ironing systems, and professional coffee machines.

All materials used are fire-resistant, certified as Class 1, and compliant with RoHS and REACH regulations. All items are produced internally in cutting and sewing departments, ensuring direct control over quality and processes. A dedicated technical office develops customized solutions starting from client prototypes, also handling soundproofing and/or insulation for final acoustic tests.

A Commitment to Sustainability

The company is particularly attentive to eco-sustainable solutions that protect the environment. An example is the introduction of new rubber inserts capable of replacing lead, thus addressing issues related to its disposal.

Since 2000, Magneti Plastic has operated in a modern facility near the Certosa di Pavia, covering a total area of about 1,800 , suitable for growing production and logistics needs.

New Challenges: The Nautical Division and Global Market Expansion

Recently, Magneti Plastic has launched a nautical division in the province of Imperia, dedicated to the production of sound-absorbing panels for engine rooms, made with high-quality, innovative materials, both for performance and environmental sustainability.

Since 2021, the company has begun exhibiting at industry trade fairs, a step initially approached with apprehension but which proved to be extremely rewarding. The fairs have showcased the value of Made in Italy manufacturing, attracting attention not only in Europe but also globally.

Looking to the Future

The history of Magneti Plastic is the story of a family business that, through determination, passion, and attention to detail, has managed to grow and innovate while remaining faithful to the values of quality and Made in Italy. We look to the future with confidence, ready to embrace new challenges and carry forward a tradition that combines expertise, innovation, and sustainability.
