Drvoplast d.d.

Drvoplast has been established in 1967 when „Unitas" company joined Zagreb's company „Jadran" in Buzet. Due to implementation of our own proprietary conversion of Social company, in 1992 we became a joint stock company with mixed ownership, where all the employees together with the earlier employed ones gained ownership rights in majority share. At the beginning we manufactured sleeping rooms and plastic profiles. Later, while PVC granulates manufacturing was still intended for private profile manufacturing demands, we organized a manufacture of transport cardboard packaging. Ever since 2006, we have been increasing our investment in technologic assortment. This refers especially to PVC granulate manufacturing, which helped us increase and update our manufacturing capacities as well as produce a more diverse offer. We also sell our PVC granulate to other market users. Since 2012 we constantly renewed machine park, and at the beginning 2015, we introduce new production programs in plastic injection molding technology. By extrusion and co-extrusion, Drvoplast manufactures more than 800 different profiles for any purpose: gaskets for the wood, PVC, aluminium doors and windows PVC roller shutters profiles for furniture industry profiles for interior design profiles for boats road side pillars pipes and sleeves profiles for various purposes (profiles for containers, camping houses, car industry, awnings, sanitary equipment, massage showers, ceramics, tennis playgrounds, refrigerators, railcars, price tag holders in shopping centres, etc.) Profiles are mostly made of soft, semi-hard and hard PVC, as well as of other plastic materials such as polyethylene (PE), polystyrene (PS), various thermoplastic elastomers (TPE), thermoplastic rubber (ethylene-propylene-ter-polymer EPDM), polyethylene-vinylacetate (EVAC), polyethylene (PE), polystyrene (PS), and other.
