The encounter between the Zini family and the plastics industry took place in the early post-war period, when Raffaele Zini, toghether with his brothers created a firm in order to create a series of plastic objects that were once of other materials.

Since the early sixties the business started developing in the “consumer packaging” and “industrial packaging”, counting among its customers the most important firms.
