The company

Built on trust. Looking ahead.

Founded in Brussels in 1935, Plastoria is a leading name in high-end corporate gifting. Design, brand expertise and exceptional service sit alongside a continuing drive to innovate, from product development to the digital solutions that support our partners.

Design at the heart

Every collection begins with the brand.

Our designers explore the identity, positioning and creative language of each brand we work with. They translate that understanding into distinctive accessories, connecting materials, colours and details across a coherent collection.

From the first sketch to development and production, creative ambition meets the expertise to bring each piece to life. We work under licence and develop bespoke collections for brands and companies.

From an idea to a collection

Creative ambition. Practical expertise.

Our teams connect the creative and technical decisions that make a collection work, from its first direction to its place in the market.
