Papaiz Group – Over 60 years of commitment with quality and security
Papaiz Group’s main rationale has always been the investment of its own resources to update and develop its industrial facilities.

With the new millennium, Papaiz has entered the standardized frame segment, through the introduction of new products, with a view to provide the market with more sophisticated products, able to meet the consumers’ most complex needs.
