Anaip celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2007. It was created in 1957 as a grouping national autonomous of industrial plastics, sheltered by the then national trade union of chemical industries.

With the advent of democracy, and the subsequent disappearance of the Union, companies which previously formed part of Anaip constituted, in June 1977, the Spanish Association of industrial of plastics, while maintaining the same acronym of Anaip, already by then well known. Over the past 50 years the work of Anaip, supporting the development of the plastics industry, has been fundamental.

Anaip has worked hard in the momentum of the quality, as evidenced by the fact that a PVC pipe, was the first product certified in Spain with quality brand. It was in 1971, and still missing 15 years, until 1986, the creation of Aenor, the Spanish Association for standardisation and certification, in whose creation also participated very actively, and boost the creation of the technical committees of standardization and certification of plasticsmanaging, since then, their secretariats by Aenor delegation.

In 1974 Anaip begins the development of the statistical data of the sector, which soon becomes a reference to the evolution of the same.

A mission of businessmen of Anaip visited China in 1983, being one of the first Western delegations that visited that country after it opened, and its work in support of the internationalization of companies in the sector has continued to the present day.

One of the national associations of plastics was promoter of the European Association of processors of plastics EuPC, and of the CIPAD Council International Plastics Association Directors, which is an active member.

Always concerned about the environment, in 1972 he published the book "plastics and society", and in 1991 created the Spanish Foundation of the plastic for the defence of the environment, now disbanded. Later, in November 1996 society was formed, also in her womb, Cicloplast to implement the requirements of the directive on packaging and waste.

All this and more, will gather in the "memory of 50 years" which is being prepared Anaip. This is one of the many activities planned to celebrate its fiftieth anniversary, and that will inform you in upcoming press releases. A commemorative logo for the anniversary, will remember this ephemeris throughout 2007.
