What does SNAP Srl do?
SNAP Srl machines and processes engineering plastics and makes custom components for the bottling, packaging and automation industries: cutting to size, milling, turning, bending, bonding, PVC welding and other operations, up to custom finished parts made to drawing. We also offer safety stock management, scheduled orders and material selection consulting.

Our headquarters are at Via Torelle, 5, 10091 Alpignano (TO), near Turin, Italy. Offices are open Monday to Friday, 8:00 to 17:30, and we serve customers in Italy and across Europe. Address and details are on the SNAP contact page.
Which plastics do you machine?
We machine Polizene® polyethylenes (PE-UHMW, PE-HMW, PE-HD), POM C, PET, nylon (PA 6, PA 6G, PA 66 and filled grades), PVC, polypropylene, PTFE, PEEK and polycarbonate, as well as glass-epoxy laminate, Bakelite and polyurethane rubbers. Data sheets are in our engineering plastics catalogue.
Do you make prototypes, small batches and 3D prints?
Yes. Starting from the customer’s drawing we handle prototyping and production, in small or large batches. For prototypes, functional parts and small series we also offer resin and filament 3D printing, with high-detail technical resins and materials such as PLA, ABS and nylon.
Which catalogue products does SNAP offer?
Besides custom machining, our catalogue includes levelling feet, slat chains and modular belts, chain guide profiles in Polizene 1000, conveyor belt components, roller track profiles and special rubber machining. See the products and materials page.
Which industries does SNAP Srl work for?
We make plastic components mainly for the bottling, packaging and automation industries, and we work for sectors such as automotive, construction, composites, fibres, film, medical, pipes, rigid packaging, moulding, wires and cables. Available operations are described on the machining and services page.
How do you choose the right plastic for a component?
It depends on how the part will work: loads and wear, friction and sliding, operating temperature, contact with water or chemicals, required tolerances and budget. As a rule, UHMW-PE suits guides and sliding parts, POM C precise mechanical parts, PTFE and PEEK high temperatures and aggressive chemical environments. If in doubt you can ask for technical advice free of charge on the most suitable material and machining.
