PLASGAL operates in the plastics processing industry, specialising in flexible packaging (roll, film, sheets and bags). Our main manufacturing technologies include tubular extrusion (HDPE and LDPE), flexographic printing and die-cutting.


With highly flexible manufacturing processes, we offer a wide range of products that meet the needs of numerous industry sectors.

PLASGAL was founded in June 1973 and began its activities as a plastic film and injection-moulding manufacturer, producing mainly flexible packaging and household articles. 
The company has been growing steadily since 1973, reaching its first production peak in 1981, when it built a new production plant and acquired new production equipment.

Such expansion placed the company in a prominent position in the Portuguese plastics market and, in 2005, the company moved again into new and larger premises with a gross area of 30,000 m2 and a total covered area of 10,000 m2, where it operates today. 

To better meet the market's needs, PLASGAL has gradually adjusted its manufacturing focus and, today, the company specialises in the production of flexible plastic packaging, namely, printed and unprinted polyethene bags, sheets, rolls and films.

As a reference company in the plastics processing sector, PLASGAL achieved and maintained its visibility and competitive position on the market due to a strong commitment towards innovating its production processes and training its employees.

Mission
As clearly stated in the company's Quality Policy, PLASGAL's primary objective is to ensure customer satisfaction. To this end, it has implemented and certified a quality system according to the requirements of the NP EN ISO 9001 standard.
 
Certificate of Conformity ER-0296/2014 (valid until: 2026-06-04)
 
In constant partnership with customers and suppliers, PLASGAL always upholds dynamism, quality, and environmental responsibility, striving to exceed the expectations of those who seek its services.
 
This commitment dictates that suppliers must also maintain high behavioral standards. Therefore, the company actively seeks to engage with entities that share the same framework of ethical principles and values, which may impact the quality and safety of the products provided to customers.
Supplier selection is carried out impartially, based on criteria such as the quality of products or services provided, innovation capacity, supply reliability, performance, trust, continuity, and long-term sustainability.
 
To achieve this, our suppliers are evaluated annually based on the following criteria:

• Organization
• Complaints
• Price
• Deadlines
• Quality Level
• Technical Support

​We meet the requirements agreed with our clients, as well as all other necessary requirements for the specified and intended uses of the manufactured products, whenever known.

We also comply with the statutory and regulatory requirements applicable to each specific product while seeking to offer the best value for money solutions. 

We set our monitoring and control standards according to the criticality of the possible faults and based on their likelihood, frequency and severity of their effects.

We employ internal quality controls that allow timely detection of production faults and enhance the accountability for each operation. We have adopted a results-oriented process approach, and we focus on continuous improvement with a proactive approach to error.

We see our employees as the essence of our company, count on their cooperation and we encourage their commitment.
