SQUARE THE CIRCLE

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.

ILPA AT A GLANCE

ILPA Industria Legno Pasotti is an Italian manufacturer of high-performance wood and composite panels for concrete formwork systems. Since 1978, ILPA has developed three-ply spruce panels, birch plywood panels, polyolefin-coated composite panels and patented polyurethane edge-protected panels for formwork system manufacturers, rental companies and construction companies worldwide.

Products: STRATO-STOCK^® | FIR-STOCK^® | PUR-STOCK^® | 3-Ply Formwork Panel | TRAY-STOCK^®

Applications: Framed formwork systems | Formwork rental fleets | Concrete construction | Replacement panels | Trays for vibro-compressed concrete products

Technologies: Polyolefin coating | High-pressure polyurethane edge protection | CNC machining | 100% ultrasonic inspection | Laser marking and RFID traceability

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.

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.
