A story that began in 1958
ISI Plast has always considered it essential to use first-rate plastic materials and to constantly invest in the research and development of its products in order to guarantee a correct container structure combined with innovative design.
In its plastic moulding activities, ISI Plast uses technologically advanced equipment that has enabled the company to supply its customers with top quality products.
ISI Plast, with the support and contribution of all its people, strives daily to satisfy the needs and expectations of its customers.

The Roots
The history of ISI Plast has its roots in 1958, the year its founder, Cav. Riccardo Melli, began the production of plastic containers in Italy under the name Plastica Secchia. Thanks to his entrepreneurial vision and determination, the company grew, evolving from a small entity to an important industrial group over the years.

New offices
The company continues to grow rapidly, as does the number of people involved. In the early 1990s, the need to expand the spaces became evident, and in 1995, the construction of the new two-story office wing and the modern main entrance was completed, a testament to the company’s ongoing evolution and dynamism.

ISO 9001:2015 Certification
In 1996, ISI Plast became the first company in its sector to obtain the ISO 9001:2015 quality management system certification. This is an international recognition that certifies a company’s ability to manage its business processes effectively and with a focus on quality. With this certification, the company demonstrates its commitment to high standards for its products and services, aiming to meet customer expectations through continuous improvement.

2001 ISO 14001:2015 Certification
In 2001, ISI Plast certifies its environmental management system according to ISO 14001:2015. This marks an important step in declaring its commitment to adopting concrete practices to optimize resource use, reduce waste, and prevent pollution. Obtaining this certification highlights the company’s principles and mission, placing great emphasis on environmental responsibility.

New Logistic/Production Areas
The constant pursuit of quality, reliability in service, and the professionalism of everyone working at ISI Plast have played a crucial role in the company’s success. This success is reflected in the increase in production, which in 2007 exceeds 100,000,000 containers sold annually, with revenue surpassing 40,000,000 euros. Additionally, the working area expands further, reaching 100,000 square meters, of which 26,000 square meters are covered. At the beginning of 2007, a new covered area of 7,000 square meters is inaugurated, and new logistic-production areas are created.

Expansion and Innovation

New production hub
In 2012, the new building housing the entire company production department was completed. Inside, ISI-KitchenLab was created, a cutting-edge laboratory equipped with the most advanced tools to support production processes. Just like a real kitchen, the goal is to perfectly prepare excellence to offer to a continually growing clientele, ensuring innovation and quality at every stage of production.

New automated warehouse
In 2018, ISI Plast opened a new 6,000 sqm automated warehouse, with a capacity of over 15,000 pallet spaces. The fully automated structure uses automatic shuttles for storage and retrieval, improving efficiency and optimizing internal logistics operations. This investment led to a significant reduction in order fulfillment times. ISI Plast’s goal was to increase storage capacity and enhance customer service, with a positive impact on the entire production process.

PSV Certification
In 2020, ISI Plast obtained the PSV (Plastica Seconda Vita) certification. This standard refers to materials and products made from mixtures of materials derived from selective waste collection and/or industrial waste. Recycling industrial-origin (PIR) or post-consumer (PCR) materials plays a significant role in the context of the circular economy and waste reduction.

New Leadership and Vision
In 2021, Gianluca Melli, son of the founder Cav. Riccardo Melli, took the helm of ISI Plast, carrying forward the company’s legacy with determination and vision. With his experience and innovative spirit, Gianluca leads the company towards new challenges, consolidating the successes achieved and steering it towards the future. His commitment is to maintain high service quality and continue developing innovative solutions, strengthening ISI Plast’s role in the industrial landscape.

The New Divisions
ISI Plast is a company with a widespread presence throughout the national territory, and with excellent results, it is expanding more and more into foreign markets.
Over the years, ISI Plast has sought to expand its product range, producing not only industrial containers but also containers for food and eco-sanitary use. The diversification of products has increased alongside the growth in productivity and, over time, has given rise to 5 main divisions: ISIPlast (industrial), ISIFood (food), CON.E.S. (hospital), ISITrap (insect traps), and Smocchino (pocket ashtrays).

Leadership and Recognition
In 2023, CEO Gianluca Melli became President of the Rubber and Plastics Group of Unindustria Reggio Emilia. This appointment highlights ISI Plast’s established position, thanks to the experience and expertise of its team.

Sustainability Report
ISI Plast publishes its first Sustainability Report, highlighting the company’s commitment to excellence, quality, and environmental responsibility. At the core of its strategy are innovation, process optimization, and the reduction of environmental impact. The company maintains a strong connection with the local community, collaborating with schools and providing work placement opportunities for students and interns.
