High Performance Polymers by Leonardi
GAIA is our brand of modified ABS (Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene), PC (Polycarbonates), PA (Polyamides), POM (Polyoxymethylene), PP ((Polypropylene) engineering plastics. Born as a trading company, since 2010 it has become a compound brand and includes a range of high-performance polymers that are used with an excellent performance in countless applications and fields, from the automotive sector to electronics, from CIG to the industrial world.
The strength of the brand is Leonardi's know-how: the experience that for over sixty years has guided us in the distribution of the best raw materials, combined with the ability to imagine and predict new scenarios and their possible applications.
To guarantee a high-performance product, we have studied vacuum-packed aluminium packaging, which protects the polymers and allows them to preserve their quality over time.
Gaia represents our vision of a world where quality, sustainability and high performance meet and bond.

The historical Japanese company, with its main European headquarters in Hamburg since 1957, develops its business in the production of fibres and fabrics for clothing, carbon fibre composite materials and all the main types of plastics and resins. We deal in particular with:
ABS Resin TOYOLAC™, a highly versatile thermoplastic composed of acrylonitrile, butadiene and styrene with a unique set of properties that combines "strength", "lightness" and "aesthetics".
TORELINA™ PPS Resin, a thermoplastic resin with very high heat resistance performances.
PBT Resin TORAYCON™ (polybutyleneterephthalate), a polyester-based thermoplastic resin with excellent electrical properties and chemical resistance.
The Plastics Division of Formosa Chemicals & Fiber Corporation produces ABS (Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene), PS (Polystyrene), PP (Polypropylene), PC (Polycarbonates) and ASA (Acrylonitrile styrene acrylate) plastic materials and compounding. The main sectors of application are automotive and transport, furniture and household appliances, office equipment, toys and sports equipment.
Mixcycling is an innovative startup that develops sustainable materials by exploiting vegetable fibers, derived from production waste and blending them with polymer properties obtained from renewable, recycled or virgin organic resources. The goal is to reduce the environmental impact due to the excessive traditional plastic from fossil sources.
