Italian distributor Com-Ital (Montemurlo; www.comitalplastspa.it) has inaugurated its new administrative centre, including a warehouse, in Montemurlo near Florence. The company's previous building was partially destroyed by a fire in 2016 – see Plasteurope.com of 11.01.2016.

The company said that energy efficiency and sustainability were important considerations for the new building. To this end, Com-Ital installed a photovoltaic system and LED lighting. During the construction, the distributor's team worked in a temporary location.

Com-Ital distributes standard and engineering plastics in Italy from a variety of major European and Asian producers. This includes styrenics from Ineos Styrolution (Frankfurt / Germany; www.ineos-styrolution.com) and Versalis (Milan / Italy; www.versalis.eni.com). The distributor has a total of six warehouses across Italy, in the main industrial districts of the country.
