Gerenzano (VA), March 27, 2026 – Alimac® Group is proud to announce that it has received the CRIBIS Prime Company certificate, an important recognition given to companies that show the highest level of commercial reliability.

This certificate is awarded only to companies that maintain excellent financial performance for at least 12 months. Alimac® Group achieved top values in all key indicators, including punctual payments and strong financial stability.

After the introduction of the new CRIBIS evaluation model in 2024, less than 5% of Italian companies qualify for this recognition. This makes the result even more meaningful and confirms Alimac® Group as a solid, trustworthy partner in Italy and internationally.

The CRIBIS Prime Company certificate is recognized worldwide thanks to the partnership between CRIBIS and Dun & Bradstreet. It highlights Alimac® Group’s commitment to reliability, transparency, and long‑term business relationships.

Alimac® Group continues to invest in quality, responsibility, and financial excellence to support its growth and the success of its partners around the world.

Sustainability is no longer just a choice; it is a key part of our business strategy. In a recent interview with Up2You, our EHS & Sustainability Manager, Dott. Eduardo Carraturo, talked about the new trends and challenges in the manufacturing industry.

A major topic is the new European rule called PPWR. This rule will become official on August 12, 2026. It means that by 2030, all packaging in the EU must be recyclable in a way that saves money and resources. To stay ahead, Alimac is focusing on eco-design to reduce the weight and size of our products.

“Companies that do not change will be left out of the global supply chain”, says Dott. Carraturo.

Working with Up2You helps us manage our environmental data better. We are looking closely at our entire supply chain to reduce our carbon footprint. Our goal is to create high-quality products that are good for the planet and provide long-term value for our customers.

Dear Valued Customer,

As anticipated in our communication dated March 11th, in response to the impact of the recent situation impacting the Middle East Region and affecting the global chemical, plastics and tapes value chain, the whole Alimac Group Team is relentlessly and proactively working to streamline procurement and production planning to secure reliable supply continuity and avoid/minimize disruptions to all our Customers and Business Partners, across every geography and segment.

According to the information collected by our main partners and thanks to the emergency initiatives actioned by our supply chain Team, we do confirm our confidence, at least in the medium term, in guaranteeing production continuity despite the extreme market volatility.

At the same time, we need to highlight our concerns about the impact of raw material prices, utilities and transportation costs that our Company is already facing effective the current month of March.

For this reason, to guarantee the sustainability of our supply chain, we regret to inform that, as anticipated, some price adjustments are becoming necessary to strictly reflect the immediate changes in the value chain costs while, at the same time, price validity can be guaranteed just for a limited period of time and subject to further adjustment by forcing us in keeping an open price list for the months of May and June.

As a further action, to smooth and optimize material utilization, we will manage the material availability by an allocation according to the historical utilization, while any extra demand request will be evaluated case by case. We do hope this can be appreciated as a further tangible sign of the Alimac Group commitment in maintaining long-term and sustainable partnerships with all our customers.

As part of the process, your assigned Area Manager, Business Development Manager and/or Customer Service Rep will remain in close contact with you to review existing orders and discuss any necessary adjustments based on the evolving market conditions, as well as to collect in advance demand information to secure supply continuity.

We sincerely appreciate your understanding, cooperation, and continued trust in Alimac Group during this period of global market uncertainty.

Please feel free to reach out to our team for any clarification or assistance.

On March 17, 2026, Il Giorno will publish an article about StraFICO – Autismo al Lavoro, a project that supports job inclusion for young people with autism.

Alimac is proud to support this initiative and to contribute to positive social impact in the local community.

We believe that companies can play an active role in building a more inclusive society.

Dear Valued Customer,

As immediate impact of the recent geopolitical situation in the Middle East Region, Alimac Group is going to face an increasing uncertainty across the global chemical and plastics value chain affected by potential supply shortages, raw material price volatility, and rising transportation costs.

While the current situation is challenging for the entire industry, the whole Alimac Group Team is actively working with our suppliers and partners to streamline procurement and production planning to secure reliable supply continuity and avoid/minimize disruptions.

Thanks to the long-standing partnerships established with leading global chemical companies we can rely on strong foundations to secure raw material deliveries and support continuity of production during periods of extreme market volatility.

However, due to the significant increases in raw material and transportation costs constraints currently and immediately affecting the market, we regret to inform that some price adjustments are becoming necessary to strictly reflect the immediate changes in the value chain costs.

By confirming our firm commitment in maintaining a long-term and sustainable partnerships with our customers, your assigned Area Manager, Business Development Manager and/or Customer Service Rep will remain in close contact with you to review existing orders and discuss any necessary adjustments based on the evolving market conditions, as well as to collect in advance demand information to secure supply continuity.

We sincerely appreciate your understanding, cooperation, and continued trust in Alimac Group during this period of global market uncertainty.

Please feel free to reach out to our team for any clarification or assistance.
