The company

SIMP S.p.A was founded in 1952 by Pietro Triboldi with the purpose of importing and distributing chemical and petrochemical products on the national market.

Thanks to his cleverness and business ability, Mr. Triboldi was the first Italian businessman to establish solid relationships with Russian and Chinese producers of paraffins, in years when those markets were still considered inaccessible to foreign entrepreneurs.

Constant supplies of products and profitable economic conditions deriving from privileged relations with its foreign producers soon made SIMP one of the leaders of the sector.

In the sixties and the seventies, the company continued growing, enlarging its portfolio to other products such as the petrochemicals.

In the mid sixties, SIMP took a considerable advantage from the creation of Decal S.p.A., also founded by Pietro Triboldi, a company operating in tanks installation of petrochemicals at Porto Marghera Terminal. Still nowadays the synergy with Decal is one of the competitive advantages of SIMP.

In the eighties and the nineties the company saw a constant growth in terms of imports of new products, creation of new distribution channels in foreign countries and new commercial agreements with some of the major international oil and petrochemical companies.

In the nineties the changed geopolitical and economic situation of Eastern European and Middle East countries allowed SIMP to search for strategic alliances in those areas, creating joint ventures and acquiring participations of companies, both in Italy and abroad, in order to better penetrate specific market segments.

Today SIMP, in order to enlarge its range of products, is also working on distribution of chemical products employed in the automotive sector.

SIMP’s quality and accuracy of the services provided to its customers have obtained and are still obtaining the confidence of wider market shares. This is one of the reasons of the satisfaction of the actual management who is trying to cope with the new challenges, constantly learning from the considerable experience of the past and profiting by the new modern operative standards. On this purpose it has to be reminded that SIMP operates with ISO 9001 certification standard.

Since its foundation, SIMP has been showing distinguishing features such as a constant engagement to develop its presence in new market segments and a remarkable dynamism in the distribution of its products. This is also the mission the company is willing to hand down to the future generations.
