About Formoplast
Formoplast SA is a Swiss plastics processor based in Yverdon-les-Bains that manufactures components from polyethylene (PE/PE-HD), polypropylene (PP, PP-H, PanelTim), rigid PVC, Plexiglas (PMMA), polycarbonate as well as engineering plastics such as POM, PEEK and PVDF. Its range of services includes the construction of tanks, containment trays, ventilation ducts and piping systems, CNC and conventional machining of plastics, custom-made products, and design and decorative work in transparent materials such as museum display bells, presentation cases, machine guards and transport boxes. In addition, the company offers on-site assembly services, including piping in PP, PE, PVDF and PVC as well as the installation of tanks, filters and distribution cabinets. Supplementary services include digital technical drawings, Plexiglas laser cutting and engraving, and 3D printing. Customers come from the watch industry, the medical sector, construction, electroplating, laboratories, agriculture, and museums. The company is certified according to ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015 and ISO 45001:2018.
