Final destination of the plants manufactured by OMNIATEX are mechanical shops, synthetic leather production, rotogravure printing of magazines, printing of flexible packaging for foodstuffs, production of special papers, rubber belts and conveyors, adhesives films and tapes, automotive parts and distilleries for drinking spirit.

                                               The Company has an asset of 387.000,00 Euro-, and during
                                               the past years has progressed to reach a position of
                                               unquestionable leadership in Europe in the design and
                                               construction of chemical systems for the above mentioned
                                               purposes. Chairman of the Society is Mr. IVANO  LAZZARI,
                                               which is also Head of the Technical Department.

OMNIATEX during these years has developed specific research programs in the field, both on chemical and physical processes and on plant technology, on their own and in collaboration with important Italian and foreign University Institutes and with the National Research Committee (CNR) and the National Energy Agency (ENEA), too. The Company has an unique software to evaluate adsorption and regeneration of activated carbon, software developed for the Italian CNR, and still the only one in this sector that allows the evaluation of a single carbon working with one or more specific solvents.

The Technical Director has a Master in Safety and Firefighting by CFPA Europe (Confederation of Fire Protection Agencies) for explosion zones, enabling the signature of a certified rapport in 14 European Nations.

The applied processes allows the production of the following plants:

Since several years have been operating in Europe, Asia and America, small and large plants fabricated by OMNIATEX which have allowed the recovery and the reutilization of millions solvents tons. These plants are mainly in ITALY, SPAIN, GERMANY, NEDERLAND, BELGIUM, DENMARK, SWEDEN, GREAT BRITAIN, AUSTRIA, SWITZERLAND, POLAND, GREECE, LATVIA, RUSSIA, SOUTH AFRICA, MADAGASCAR, CHINA PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC, AUSTRALIA, UNITED STATES, CANADA, VENEZUELA, CHILE, JAPAN, CZECH and SLOVAKIA.
To realize their plants OMNIATEX carry out a complete Engineering activity starting from Process development, proceeding with civil works and with equipment fabrication and ending with instrumentation and the supply of all utilities necessary to the plant.

Beside this Engineering activity OMNIATEX is the only company in Europe, in its field, which owns a well equipped workshop with high technology machinery that allows the manufacturing of all kind of components for the chemical industry. Items have been manufactured to comply with German TUV, French BUREAU DES MINES, American ASME, Italian ISPESL, Swedish SA. Several welding procedures, for several materials, have been certified by the above mentioned Institutes and vessels have been manufactured, with the approval stamp, with working pressure up to 100 bar (for the American company Monsanto).

OMNIATEX IMPIANTI CHIMICI SRL has achieved, due to several plants and their state-of-the-art technology, a position of leadership in organic and inorganic vapors' abatement, solvent recovery, distillation, air flow control, heat recovery, energy saving, water cooling and/or chilling and distilleries for drinking alcohol, due to a long collaboration agreement with the oldest Italian leaders in this field.

Omniatex's relevant position within the solvent recovery field has been recognized in 1992 by the Italian Government that has granted OMNIATEX a fund of € 200.000,00 to improve the research and construction of a metal degreasing unit without any pollution in the working place and without pollution of the environment.

OMNIATEX has built in 1983 the world biggest plant for solvent recovery from flexible packaging printing (adsorption and two distillations columns) that has recovered in less than 10 years, more than 30 millions of kilograms of solvent, and in 1992 it has been supplied in France, to a big American Corporation, an activated carbon recovery plant worth 3 millions of Euro, fully certified by APAVE for what is concerning pressure, electrical part, consumption and emission; having a monthly recovery rate of 280 tons of solvent at full capacity.

During 2002 Omniatex has supplied to the biggest Italy's flexible Packaging Company the first tank farm approved in Italy for construction above ground, with full certification of the local and Regional Firefighters Departments.

OMNIATEX has distillation plants working at atmospheric pressure or under vacuum, ranging from 1 to 4 fractionating columns, in Italy, Spain, Sweden, Venezuela, CSI, China and Belgium, for such components as Ethyl Acetate, iPropanol, Methanol, Ethanol, Acetone, Phthalate, Toluene, Hexane and DMF.

OMNIATEX proven experience provides, with highest reliability, the following services:

The continuous collaboration with the most qualified customers has given OMNIATEX the opportunity to supply and offer technology and know-how for turnkey plants for the production of:
The result of these 28 years of activity is represented by more than 2,500 plants operating in four continents, with a single value ranging from some tents of million up to some billions, plants allowing a recovery, from single plant, ranging from 200 to 300,000 Kg per months of solvent.
THE COMMITMENT OF OMNIATEX SRL IS TO PRESERVE THE EARTH FOR A BETTER LIVING CONDITIONS OF THE FUTURE GENERATIONS, PROVED BY THENTS OF MILLIONS OF TONS OF RECOVERED AND RECYCLED SOLVENT EACH YEAR, REPRESENTING A SAME AMOUNT OF AIR POLLUTANTS THAT ARE NOT REJECTED IN THE PLANET ATMOSPHERE PER YEAR.
