Product catalog summary
Company History and Evolution
ICMA SAN GIORGIO has a rich history beginning in 1907 with the Colombo family founding a foundry. By 1945, ICMA was established as a manufacturer of wood processing machinery, later transitioning to high-precision machine tools. In 1965, ICMA pivoted to the plastics industry, designing twin-screw extruders. The 1974 introduction of WOOD-STOCK™ technology marked a significant innovation, adopted by major automakers. By 1980, ICMA had expanded its expertise in twin-screw co-rotating extruders, becoming a leader in compounding technology. Subsequent years saw further innovations, including the NATURCORE™ system in 1995 and advanced mathematical modeling in 2000. The company began international expansion in 2006 and launched the ECO IMPATTO project between 2011-2013. In 2013, a new class of high-performance extruders was developed.
Current Capabilities and Services
ICMA offers extensive R&D, manufacturing, and process experience in extrusion and compounding solutions. Their services include a 16-hour help desk, training seminars, spare parts service, and R&D/lab support. The company provides state-of-the-art technology solutions for a wide range of compounding systems, including those for filled and reinforced materials, masterbatch, techno-polymers, conductive polymers, and more. They also offer systems for reactive compounds and thermoplastic rubbers.
Technological Innovations
ICMA's twin-screw co-rotating extruders enhance the aesthetic and functional qualities of recycled plastics, opening new opportunities in emerging applications. Their systems support direct extrusion for PET foil and filled/reinforced sheets, as well as special direct extrusion systems for laminated products. ICMA's direct extrusion systems offer numerous advantages, such as energy savings, reduced maintenance costs, and improved mechanical characteristics.
Wood Plastic Composites
ICMA is a pioneer in wood plastic composites, being the first to extrude these materials. Their direct extrusion systems for wood plastic composites and other natural fibers offer unique benefits, including reduced production costs and enhanced material properties.
