ABOUT
We are an Italian leading manufacturer of Soap Packaging Machines, Saponification Plants, Drying Plants and Soap Finishing Lines.
We are on the market since 1934 when we first designed and manufactured soap stamping machines; our name “SAS” is the acronym of Soap Automatic Stampers. Starting from the 80s, our business expanded to Soap Finishing Lines, Soap Plants and Soap Packaging Machines.
In the last decade we completed our presence in the Soap Packaging Equipment industry with the acquisition of the technology of Guerze for Stretch and Pleat Soap Wrappers, the realization of the high-speed Paper/500 Soap Wrapper and the Savonpack family of Soap Bundlers.
Thanks to the expertise in the soap production we could recently design and manufacture finishing lines for “toilet Rim-Blocks", saponification plants and finishing lines for 100% coconut soap, equipment for production of Syndet products including the Shampoo Bars which is a fast growing niche market.
