ILPA diagram: balance between weight, cost and strength of panels

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 increasingly complex and high technological content panels created from wood and polymeric materials.

APPROACH

ILPA manages innovation with an idealistic yet pragmatic approach, combining holistic thinking with industrial activity.

Early 90s

ILPA was the first to offer the formwork industry a wooden panel with a polyolefin-coated surface — an innovation later adopted by major global manufacturers.

Strato-Stock®

2017

ILPA produces the first formwork panel with a wooden core and full perimeter edge protection through high-pressure polyurethane injection moulding.

Pur-Stock®

THE PARADIGM

Through this process and product innovation, ILPA offers formwork manufacturers a paradigm shift:

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