VALUE PROPOSITION

A solution which combines Tradition, Technological Innovation and Cost

FROM WOOD

Unmatched material, in terms of weight, strength and cost.

TO COMPOSITE MATERIALS

From the first wooden panels, perhaps the most interesting natural composite, to invariably more complex and high technological content panels created from wood and polymeric materials.

APPROACH

Ilpa has always managed innovation with an idealistic but also pragmatic approach, combining holistic values along with industrial activity.

Early 90s

Ilpa is the first company to propose to the concrete formwork industry a wooden panel with a polyolefine protected surface, an approach later on adopted by major worldwide players.

Strato-Stock®
2017

Ilpa produces its first formwork with a wooden core and an edge protection along the whole perimeter by injection moulding of a tecnopolymer.

Pur-Stock®
THE PARADIGM

With the task of innovation both in terms of process and product developed internally, ILPA offers the world of formwork manufacturers a turning point with a paradigm shift:

The metal frame no longer contains the panels,
instead now the panel supports the metal frame
which results in a concrete casting without imperfections.

Year of birth. The world had been changing rapidly due to the demands of the market and of development technology. hese were the years in which we learnt openness to the new, curiosity and dynamics. ILPA had started as a joinery, and then began producing pre-fabricated wooden houses.
The production of block board panels started.
Currently we are arguably the historical producer of block board panels in Europe.
We started producing three ply panels.
We patented STRATO-STOCK®, the first new composite panel for formwork applications.
This was at the time the most innovative proposal in the large surface building industry. The success of the product was soon acknowledged by all the major producers of plywood.
Composite panels were further improved with the Xlife project, which was developed together with one of the largest formwork producers in the world.
We patented the first wooden shuttering board with polyurethane edge protection.
We started testing the STRATO FILM panel.
We started working alongside important players outside Europe.
We started the production of the first formwork panel with a single polyurethane high pressure perimeter edge protection.
