PERSEVERANCE, THE COURSE SET BY VALID PLASTIC: ABB AWARDS THE COMPANY THE “BEST IN CLASS SUPPLIER AWARD 2026”

A year of growth

The recognition carries even greater weight as it arrives during a time of major expansion. ABB is set to close 2026 with a 40% increase in orders compared to 2025, while Valid Plastic projects a turnover increase of at least 16% over the previous year. These figures demonstrate how consistently maintained quality directly translates into corporate development.

To support this growth, construction has already begun on the new Ceprano facility. The new production site will span an area of 25,000 square meters, an investment focused on the future with a precise goal: operating in an increasingly sustainable manner, both environmentally and ethically.

“Without our team, none of this would have been possible”

"We are extremely proud of this award and dedicate it to the entire team and staff of Valid Plastic; without them, these results would not have been possible. Perseverance is the value that brought us here and that drives us to keep improving," stated Renato Valeri.

This is perhaps the deepest meaning behind the award. Behind an international recognition are the people who design, produce, inspect, and deliver every day, and a Lazio-based enterprise that proves how reliability, investments, and perseverance can lead to the top of a global supply chain. And the course in Ceprano continues.

Best supplier in the plastics category: the recognition comes during a year of strong growth and as the new Ceprano plant takes shape.

On the bow of the Amerigo Vespucci, one of the world's most famous training ships, runs a phrase attributed to Leonardo da Vinci: "Not he who begins, but he who perseveres." This motto has accompanied the ship since 1978, and it is also the one chosen by Renato Valeri, CEO of Valid Plastic, to describe the award received today.

ABB, a leading multinational group in automation and energy technologies, has awarded Valid Plastic the Best in Class Supplier Award 2026 as the top supplier in the plastics category. The award recognizes only one winner for each product supply category: in the plastics segment this year, the Strangolagalli-based company claimed the top spot. Representing Valid Plastic at the award ceremony were Manuel Valeri, Engineer and Head of the Technical and Design Office, and Enrico Lisi, Head of the Tooling Department, two units that represent the technical heart of the company.

A decade of recognition, even through the most challenging years

This is not an isolated incident. Over the past ten years, including those marked by the pandemic, Valid Plastic has been recognized by ABB on multiple occasions for the quality of its work. Among many, the 2024 "Fast and Reliable" award was presented to suppliers capable of combining production speed with delivery reliability. It is a journey that reflects a solid partnership built over time, and a company that has never ceased to earn the trust of a demanding client.
