Mahlo at PLAST 2026

From June 9 to 12, 2026, Mahlo GmbH + Co. KG will present its innovative quality measurement and control systems at PLAST 2026 in Milan, one of Europe’s leading trade fairs for the plastics and rubber industry. Visitors can meet the Mahlo team at booth B126 in hall 11, including Omar Galbusera, CEO of Mahlo Italia, and Christian Matthias, Head of the Application Department.

As manufacturers across the plastics industry continue to face increasing cost pressure, volatile raw material prices, and rising quality demands, efficient production processes have become more important than ever. Mahlo’s systems help companies optimize their production lines through precise inline measurement and control, reducing raw material waste, minimizing rejects, and ensuring consistently high product quality.

“Our customers are looking for ways to increase profitability without compromising on quality,” says Omar Galbusera, CEO of Mahlo Italia. “This is exactly where Mahlo solutions create value. With precise measurement data directly from the running process, manufacturers can react immediately, avoid unnecessary material consumption, and significantly reduce production losses.”

Mahlo offers a broad portfolio of sensor technologies and quality control systems for a wide range of plastics applications. Depending on the production process, the systems can monitor and control parameters such as basis weight, thickness, coating weight, moisture, density, and more – all in real time. This enables manufacturers to maintain tighter tolerances, improve process stability, and use resources more efficiently.

Especially in Italy, where the plastics industry remains an important pillar of manufacturing, efficiency and technological innovation play a crucial role. The country is home to numerous producers specializing in films, packaging, technical textiles, and high-performance materials, all operating in an increasingly competitive international market. Advanced automation and quality assurance systems are therefore becoming key investment areas for maintaining competitiveness and sustainable production.

“At Mahlo, we see ourselves not only as a machine supplier, but as a partner for process optimization,” adds Christian Matthias, Head of the Application Department. “Every percentage of saved material and every avoided rejection contributes directly to the customer’s bottom line. Our goal is to make production more transparent, more controllable, and ultimately more profitable.”

Visitors to PLAST 2026 will have the opportunity to learn more about Mahlo’s customized solutions for plastics production and discuss individual application requirements directly with the experts on site.
