It was 1963 when the founder, Giovanni Piana, an electrical engineer who repaired clocks and typewriters, invented the first marking system in Genoa a city located in the North of Italy.
He patented it under the name TRASP.
A lot of time has passed: the patent has become an industrial product still required by the market
and Grafoplast has developed highly automated production systems
Today Grafoplast manages the entire production cycle: from the raw materials to the finished product to guarantee complete control and high standards of quality.
Grafoplast is recognized as a specialist in identification for the electrical engineering and industrial automated market.
Talking about Grafoplast means thinking of a clear marking which is resistant over time, on a cable, in an electric panel, along a production line.
Grafoplast is synonymous with printers, tags, letters and sleeves,
Grafoplast is 100% an Italian company

But the flexibility has a secret: highly trained technicians can carry out set-up operations in minimum time.
Automatic cutters make it possible to do the packaging already on the line, cutting the lead time and the product costs.
In the moulding department, 9 horizontal presses produce every type of tags ;3 vertical presses create pin terminal with marker sleeve in various colours and materials: more than 400 different items!
While the robots transfer the tags from the mould directly to the packages.
