Our history
From craftsmanship to technology
Founded more than 35 years ago, LAPI was established with the aim of bringing to the thermoforming industry an approach capable of merging production flexibility with technical precision.
From a small local enterprise, the company has evolved into a key industrial partner capable of developing complex products for highly specialized sectors.
Over the years, we have invested in next-generation CNC machinery, 3D modelling software and computer-controlled vacuum thermoforming systems.
In 2025, with the integration of Simpla Udine into the Group, we strengthened our presence in the market of transparent thermoforming and high-precision plastic displays.
With more than 130 employees, three production plants and 30,000 m² of operational space, LAPI continues to grow while remaining true to its core values: quality, innovation and trust.
