On September 15th, during the Supplier Excellence Awards 2020, SULPLAST was elected winner of the Commercial Partnership Category, in the Agriculture Segment.

The event, held entirely online, celebrated the good practices of CNH Industrial partners in South America and awarded the 27 suppliers with the best performance in 2019. The selection of these finalists was carried out by more than 260 collaborators, who analyzed about 50 objective and measurable criteria for the choice.

During a speech at the ceremony, SULPLAST’S CEO, Pedro Luiz Biancardi, thanked the honor and reinforced the company's commitment with the continuous improvement: “We always work to achieve the best and this will serve as a stimulus for us to continue always looking to improve everything”.

This achievement places SULPLAST in the select group of the main global suppliers of CNH Industrial, recognized for their quality, sustainability and innovation, which characterize companies that constantly seek for excellence in all aspects.

Founded on August 16, 1978, SULPLAST started its activities with the manufacture of thermosetting technical parts with fiberglass reinforcement. Due to the quality of the products, the company quickly gained a prominent position in the segment and began to grow.

In 1984, following the changes in the market and looking for business expansion, the company also started to develop thermoplastic parts through the Vacuum Forming process.

Always focused on innovation, continuous improvement and sustainability, over the years new production processes were implemented, such as Injection (2011), Rotomoulding (2015) and RTM Skin (2019), in addition to acquired robotized cutting cells (2010 - 2019).

With constant investments in modern and efficient technologies, the bases that made SULPLAST a reference in the plastic parts market remains; integration, quality, trust and respect, are still part of the formula that made the company reach 42 years of age with solidity and broad growth potential.

As another preventive measure against Covid-19, SULPLAST team produced five pedal-powered hand sanitizer dispensers. Developed by collaborators Leonardo Benedito Rossi and Edison Garcia, this upcycling solution reuses iron scraps from internal locksmith work, to further increase the safety of our team members, suppliers and other stakeholders, in a creative and sustainable way.

This action is part of our set of measures to combat the pandemic, which were 100% approved by the Vanzolini Foundation in the ISO 14.001 audit.

On 07/27/20, SULPLAST was again fully approved in the ISO 14001 audit of the Vanzolini Foundation. During the assessment process, no non-conformities were identified and all measures to prevent Covid-19 were validated.

The positive results confirm the efficiency of SULPLAST environmental management and the company's commitment to sustainable development.

In fact, once again we demonstrate our social and environmental commitment, combined with good governance and management practices. Indeed, the company has been operating for years on these three important pillars, in line with the acronym ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance), which is a trending topic in the business environment and in the financial market. This only demonstrates that SULPLAST continues on the right path and has a very promising future ahead.

As one more sustainable action, starting in June, all IT and telecommunications equipment that is no longer in use at SULPLAST will be destined for reuse. Previously disposed as hazardous waste (class 1), now these electronics will be collected by REURBI, an urban recycler that performs the inventory, certification, sanitization and processing of materials, for reuse of parts or even to put the product back on the market, such as a used and refurbished Remakker brand equipments.

The initiative also turns SULPLAST into a collection point, where collaborators can dispose their personal electronic devices that are no longer in use too. Involving all in an action that, in addition to the promotion of environmental awareness and reduction of waste generation, also donates equipments and transfers resources to social projects of digital inclusion.

The first collection took place on 06/15 and has already destined the reuse of several devices from SULPLAST and its collaborators.
