As of last June, Assocomaplast is AMAPLAST, the Italian trade association of manufacturers of plastics and rubber processing machinery and moulds.  The members’ board overwhelmingly approved the name change and the association’s new logo featuring the AMP acronym and the colours of the Italian flag.
 
In a period when the plastics industry is constantly in the spotlight and often criticized for its impact on the environment, this new name sends a positive signal and strengthens the idea of an organization and a group of companies that are committed to developing and promoting cutting-edge technologies to produce quality products, with great concern for the eco-sustainability, the responsible use of resources, and the energy savings.
 
AMAPLAST, which is a member of Confindustria, (the Italian industrialists association), represents over 160 major machinery manufacturers.
