Dolfi S.R.L. is a third-generation company with a long history. Founded in the post-war period by Michele’s grandfather, it initially specialized in producing wooden heels before transitioning to plastic ones. In the 1980s, under the management of Franco, Michele’s father, it converted to producing plastic pots for the nursery sector.
The Dolfi company is located in Montagnana Pistoiese, on the outskirts of Pistoia. In this Tuscan city, nursery gardening is the main economic activity. This sector is one of the most important centers in Italy, with about 10% of the province’s territory dedicated to it. Today, Franco S.R.L. is an established player in the plastic injection press field in Pistoia. The company covers a total area of 2,800 square metres, occupied by three communicating warehouses. The company’s production department comprises 22 injection press machines with a tonnage ranging from 135 to 1150. All are automated, from feeding the raw material to removing the press product. The company supports the customer throughout the entire press design and construction phase.
In 2012, Franco’s son, Michele, joined the company as an employee partner, contributing to its further growth. Michele’s father, on the other hand, is the managing director, while his mother handles administration and customer management.
Dolfi works with regenerated plastic from separate waste collection unlike many other companies. Michele points out that using regenerated plastic has always been the case since the company operates in a poor market with intense competition. This approach allows Dolfi to remain competitive.”
