Co.ge.fin.
From 1957 to the present, a constantly growing group.
We have always liked doing something new, tackling different situations to improve them, exploring new markets by taking small steps."
It is with this mindset that Co.ge.fin, the financial holding company of Felice Colombo and his brothers Angelo and Carlo, has built its industrial experience, which today sees it successfully engaged in multiple sectors: controlling and associated interests in industrial, commercial and real estate activities and significant financial holdings in Italian and international companies.
Since its inception in 1960, Co.ge.fin has moved its steps according to a precise industrial vision that sees diversification as its successful business model. From the galvanizing business, the heart of the Colombo family's entrepreneurship, Co.ge.fin entered the zinc oxide production market in the mid-1980s, of which it became Italy's leading producer and the third in Europe. As part of its expansion program, in the mid-1990s, Co.ge.fin acquired the Pontenossa plant, which is involved in the recovery and treatment of steel mill fumes for the production of Waelz oxide, now among the Group's most important activities in terms of turnover and investment.
Alongside its expansion projects in the zinc sector, Co.ge.fin remains an important reference for its plastic molding business for industry and the furniture sector, which has been joined since 2008 by the creation of its own line of design-for-food items under the Mebel brand. Since 2009, having acquired control of Ceta, Co.ge.fin has been producing scaffolding for construction and grandstands, stages and seats for sports and entertainment.
Since the late 1960s, Co.ge.fin has been operating with great success in the distribution of bathroom and plumbing fixtures. Its five stores and two Smir-branded showrooms represent one of its most established businesses. Finally, Co.ge.fin is present in the sports sector with two golf clubs, a sports center with swimming pools, fitness and wellness center. In the real estate sector, the most prestigious initiative is the architectural renovation of the Borgo di Camuzzago, managed with the collaboration of the Superintendence of Cultural Heritage.
