Growing market for the machinery sector, despite geopolitical uncertainties

The Italian machinery industry for plastics and rubber processing continues to show signs of vitality in a context that rewards technical expertise, strategic vision, and adaptability. Demand is increasing on the domestic market and stable on the international market, despite geopolitical uncertainties.

According to the latest business survey published by Amaplast – the Italian national association of manufacturers of machinery and moulds for plastics and rubber – turnover in Italy recorded a +24% growth for machinery and +14% for spare parts compared to the same period of the previous year. Order intake also shows an expansion of +19% in both segments, confirming the dynamism of the domestic market.

Abroad, performance remains positive: turnover shows a +19% increase for machinery and +13% for spare parts. However, a slight decline is observed in orders for spare parts (-4%), likely linked to ongoing tensions in some areas of the Middle East.

For BD Plast, these results represent a concrete confirmation of the value of the Italian industry and the validity of our approach. The trends observed at sector level are also reflected in our direct experience, in terms of project development, demand, and market operations.

While awaiting the next scenario updates expected in the coming weeks, we continue our commitment to innovation, digitalization, and sustainability, strengthening dialogue with customers and partners and reinforcing our competitive positioning.

Frequently Asked Questions

BD Plast is an Italian company founded in 1986, specialising in the design, manufacture and sale of filtration systems for plastic polymers. Its product range includes manual, hydraulic and continuous-flow filter changers, static filters, components for extrusion lines and accessories. With 40 years of experience, the company manages the entire process: from engineering to on-site installation.

The manual filter changer is the most cost-effective solution, suitable for standard production runs where a brief interruption to the process is acceptable. The hydraulic filter changer allows filter elements to be replaced whilst the plant is running, making it ideal for high production capacities. The continuous-flow filter changer, on the other hand, ensures a perfectly uninterrupted flow of polymer, eliminating waste and interruptions in the production cycle: it is the ideal choice for lines where process consistency is critical.

The Clean Changer is BD Plast’s patented innovation, designed specifically for the extrusion industry. It is a high-performance solution that meets the quality and continuity requirements of the most advanced production lines. For technical details and to assess its suitability for your process, please contact our sales or technical team.

The range is much broader. In addition to various types of filter changers, BD Plast manufactures adaptors, bends, necks, accessories, support trolleys and hydraulic power units. Each component is designed for maximum integration into extrusion lines, whether for cast film, blown film or coating lines.
