A few kilometers away from Thessaloniki there is Puriplast Hellas which set up by Cav. Luigi Puricelli in 1972. The plant extends over an area of 130000 sq. meters of which 5500 are under cover, and employs 60 persons. Puriplast Hellas manufactures Plastic Laminates using its own in-house structures; it possesses units equipped to produce both melamine and phenolic resins, generators, boilers and other machinery necessary for the plants activities. Paper is impregnated on three Tocchio impregnation lines: one for melamine, one for phenolic resin and the third for low-pressure decorative paper. The two 12-daylight presses are capable of producing three sizes: 130x280 mm, 122x 250 and 122x244 mm with a capacity of 5 million square meters per year. Over 70% of Puriplast s output is exported, mainly in the Middle and Far East and the Balkans.
