Company Description
The Plastics Cluster was established in February 2006 as a non-profit association of plastics processing companies with the aim to create a communication platform for its members and to enforce their interests in the area of entrepreneurship, innovation and education.
The strong position of the plastics industry in the Zlín Region (along with the rubber industry, they are the most productive regional sectors) represented one of the main reasons for cluster establishment. Other reasons were lack of qualified labour force, missing R&D background for plastic processors, need of an appropriate position to negotiate for services and products, effective promotion of the sector and setting up of the active networks for the field of plastics processing.
The activity of the cluster is continuously financially supported by the EU thanks to the implemented projects:
- OP PP (project "1.4Z/009 Establishment and development of Plastic Cluster") OP PI (project "5.1 SPK01/015 Plastic Cluster" and "5.1 SPK02/040 Plaster 2012")

International networking:
- At the beginning of 2014, Plaster became a member of the EuPC (European Plastics Converters) organization, whose mission is to protect the interests of plastics processors at the European level. We also actively cooperate with the PlasticPortal platform, which operates an online specialized catalog of companies and manufacturers in the field of plastics, including the labor market in the given sector.
- As part of international networking, we also participated in the projects of the 7th Framework Program of the European Union (CLUSTERPLAST, CERADA), the Operational Program of Cross-border Cooperation SR-CR 2007-2013 (AUTOPLAST) and a successfully completed project within the Interreg V-A SK-CZ 2014-2020 program (REGIOPLAST 2030).
