Engineering as a Force of Change: Plast Hen at the Forefront of Thermoplastic Innovation
Since its founding in 1993 by Mr. Nissim Amar, Plast Hen has been at the forefront of developing advanced thermoplastic solutions for a wide range of industries. The company specializes in the design, engineering, and production of tanks, piping systems, and ventilation ducts from high-performance materials such as:
- Polypropylene (PP)
- High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE)
- Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF)
- Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC)
- Ethylene Chlorotrifluoroethylene (ECTFE)
- Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (GRP)
Through constant innovation, Plast Hen has become a trusted partner for the chemical, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, and food industries both in Israel and worldwide.
Environmental Responsibility and Clean Technologies
One of the company’s strongest fields in recent years has been environmental projects. Following the Clean Air Law enacted in Israel in 2008, Plast Hen developed cutting-edge scrubber systems to capture and neutralize chemical vapors.
“Almost every industrial process involves emissions. Our multi-stage scrubbers transform contaminated vapors into clean air and water, preventing harmful substances from being released into the atmosphere,” explains Yossi Pitosi, Chief Engineer.
These projects highlight Plast Hen’s commitment to sustainability and compliance with global environmental standards such as ISO 14001.
Innovative Solutions for Wastewater Treatment
Plast Hen also supports the agricultural and livestock industries. In partnership with Tavat Water Technologies, the company developed special tanks for treating effluents from dairies. These systems allow wastewater to be purified on-site before being discharged to municipal treatment plants, ensuring environmental protection and regulatory compliance.
Aquaculture and Marine Agriculture
In the field of aquaculture, Plast Hen has delivered advanced solutions internationally.
- In Russia, the company designed and manufactured tanks that filter and biologically break down nitrates from fish farming water, returning clean water back to the ponds.
- In Africa, the company built fish farming pools equipped with oxygenation systems. “The more oxygen a fish receives, the faster and larger it grows. Our systems inject oxygen into the water, providing conditions that nature alone cannot supply,” says Pitosi.
Industrial Innovation and Advanced Processes
Plast Hen’s expertise extends to unique chemical industry projects. For Israel Chemicals Ltd. (ICL), the company engineered facilities that separate acids of different specific gravities. This innovative technology helps save clients hundreds of millions of dollars by optimizing processes and reducing waste.
Collaboration with Academia
The company also invests in knowledge sharing. In cooperation with the Technological College of Be’er Sheva, Plast Hen introduced a seminar day for mechanical and chemical engineering students.
This program, which became part of the academic syllabus, combines theoretical learning with hands-on practice using thermoplastic materials. “We see these students as the engineers of tomorrow,” says Pitosi, “and giving them practical experience will create better professionals for the future.”
People Behind the Vision
“Our goal is to set new standards in service, innovation, and quality while delivering creative engineering solutions for our partners,” emphasizes Idan Amar, Deputy CEO.
“The success of Plast Hen is first and foremost thanks to our dedicated teams, who design, build, and deliver exceptional results for our clients. We have a responsibility not only to our customers but also to our employees and the environment,” adds Nissim Amar, CEO and Founder.
Conclusion: Israeli Engineering Leading the Way
Plast Hen represents the power of Israeli engineering to influence industries worldwide. By combining advanced materials, innovative design, and environmental responsibility, the company continues to lead in providing long-lasting, sustainable, and cost-effective solutions.
