LA MASTER ITALIANA
Masterbatch manufacturers since 1964
For three generations we have been developing high-quality masterbatches,
paying close attention to every technical and aesthetic detail.
Since 1964

- Short lead times. We work fast, and quality never pays the price.
- A portfolio of high-performance special effects.
- Formulations designed for specific polymers.
- We work across every manufacturing process, from injection moulding to blow moulding.
- A tailored service for every project.
- Expert technical support from our in-house laboratory.
- Micro-production runs dedicated to your project.
- Small compound batches for the most widely used polymers.
- Eco-friendly solutions that reduce environmental impact.
BUILT ON SOLID GROUND
Choosing La Master Italiana means relying on a tradition built over decades. Our masterbatches deliver excellent colour results, and compared with pre-coloured compound they make real economic sense:
less warehouse space;
smaller inventories, especially for companies that work with a wide range of colours;
less risk of stock going unused, and therefore less waste.
We are the ideal partner for high-end, exclusive production, where experience is what turns a good colour into an exceptional one.
Masterbatch
Our production technology lets us offer specialised masterbatches alongside the most common ones (PE, PP, PS, SAN, PC, PA, POM etc.). These are built on dedicated carriers that adapt to any thermoplastic polymer.
We serve every type of plastics processing:
Injection moulding
Rotational moulding
Extrusion
Blow moulding
Our masterbatches come in several physical forms, each one developed around what our customers actually needed. The result fits its end use remarkably well.
Compound
Each compound is developed on the polymer base the customer specifies, in the colour they choose.
We also supply sustainable compounds made with Italian wood flour and by-products from food processing, along with dedicated masterbatches to colour them.
MISSION
Technology, from its beginnings to today's innovations
Over the years, one thing hasn't changed. We have held on to the craftsmanship that has always defined the way we work, and it shows in every refined, one-of-a-kind result.
We take that word in its noblest sense. To us, craftsmanship means complete commitment to what we do, in the technical work, in research and in our relationships with customers.
Today, just as in the past, our aim is to follow the plastics raw materials market as closely as we can. It's a world we know well. And we always strive to deliver impeccable service, the kind our demanding, high-profile customers expect.
Reliability and attention to detail,
Italian style for three generations
Founded in Varese in 1964, La Master Italiana S.R.L. has been manufacturing masterbatches for colouring plastics and rubber ever since.
We supply high-quality products to Italian and international brands and to thermoplastics manufacturers.
Committed to sustainability
Protecting the environment matters to us. That's why we actively research and promote new eco-friendly products.
We have developed masterbatches (such as Special Black Carbon Free and Fresh Black) and compounds that give food industry by-products a second life.
And 40% of our production is powered by a solar photovoltaic system.
MASTERBATCH FORMULATIONS FOR BRANDS AND ART
Our materials are designed for every sector. Large-scale production, the most refined creations, even colours for works of art.
A brand's image lives in every detail. That's why we follow a rigorous quality control process, ensuring precision and consistency from one production run to the next.
We create high-value products: masterbatches and compounds for packaging and for the components of a wide range of goods.
Every job is built around the requirements of its sector, whether that's cosmetics, food, textiles, footwear, toys, construction or something else entirely.
For more than 60 years we have been a trusted partner to prestigious brands and plastics manufacturers.
On every project we bring expert advice and a real knack for problem solving.
