60 years in the game: a playful box to discover FIMIC's history

FIMIC decided to celebrate their first 60 years with a game. It will be an unforgettable adventure, learning about the milestones that made them what they are today, as well as what is always in their company’s heart: Recycling. Step by step, or rather…one turn at the time!

A magic box and a special game that will tell FIMIC’s story.

To celebrate such an important achievement, FIMIC wants to reward those who renew their faith in them every day, because for them there’s no one more important than their customers. FIMIC had the idea to create a special box that will tell FIMIC’s story, describing the many challenges overcome and the goals achieved, which over time have made them one of the leading companies in the plastic recycling technology industry.

Of course, to collect sixty years into a box may seem like an impossible task…but then again, what is recycling if not an act of magic?

FIMIC’s team are superheroes! At FIMIC, they have superpowers and they use them in everything they do: the courage to be bold in groundbreaking ways, improving the filtration process when it was still fully manual; the desire to think outside the box, continuing to design and build all their products almost completely internally in their facilities; and the strength to embrace change, removing, even in the face of difficulties, the word “impossible” from their vocabulary.

That’s how their innovative machines and technologies were created, the product of Italian craftsmanship, and over time they’ve become synonymous with industry excellence, helping to make mechanical recycling systems ever more effective and high performing. Great many FIMIC installations demonstrate this – especially their melt filters for treating plastic materials, their flagship products – which they have exported worldwide, taking Italian engineering and attention to detail with them wherever they go. 

There was only one way the company could grow: together.

Their game is packed with gadgets and surprises and you’ll learn lots of fascinating things about the history of FIMIC. Which is, first and foremost, the history of a group. Because if magic is real, for them it’s their united, passionate team that believes in the work it does, with the enthusiasm and energy to push itself a little further every time.

The game will also teach you interesting facts about recycling, to which FIMIC has always been committed. Indeed, their mission from the start has been to improve the recyclability of materials in order to reduce pollution. A mission that they also pursue as co-founders of Are You R, a European project aimed at raising awareness of the importance of recycling plastics, which through their international social networks reaches hundreds of thousands of people each day across many countries.

But that’s not all: aware of how respect for nature and the environment is learned when they are young, this year they are especially proud to have published their first children’s book: “The magical journey of the Plastic Bottle and RAS-UP” – which will be included in the box: an extraordinary adventure about recycling, which you can also hear on Spotify. But the surprises they have in store don’t finish there! They’re getting ready to welcome lots of customers and professionals at the upcoming exhibitions, with a great new development…or perhaps they should say huge?! The stand they have designed will welcome and amaze with games and surprises all their visitors. They can’t reveal any more, so the best thing is to come and find FIMIC at Plast, from 5th to 8th September, Stand C142 (Pavilion 15).

In its long history, FIMIC has grown year after year, partly by listening to the many needs and requests of those operating in this exciting industry. They have always responded with innovation, high quality and the complete guarantee of product performance and durability, along with a touch of creativity to find the best solution. Aware that a company’s real growth lies not just in increasing its turnover, the floors of its offices, or the number of employees, but in its capacity to embrace the future with a hunger to discover together how much it still has to offer us. Today, just like sixty years ago.

All this has led FIMIC to modernize and evolve, with an ever more efficient and exhaustive service offering: the speed of delivery of economically sustainable spare parts by their extremely well-equipped automated warehouse, their diligence in responding rapidly to every need, the possibility of system personalisation, and the assurance of an outstanding end product.

Are you ready to play?

Take up your position in the starting box, throw the dice, put your luck to the test and…enjoy!
