History of the company since 1885

In 1885, a young technician from the steam boiler company Ercole Comerio and his wife Teresa Marcora founded the Comerio Ercole company in Busto Arsizio. Given the fact that there were many textile factories in the city, the established company specialized in the maintenance of textile equipment. Since its inception, a small private company has developed rapidly and in 1922 was transformed into a joint stock company.

Here are the main stages of the development of Comerio Ercole:

The first drum mixer was manufactured in 1894, the first indoor mixer in 1900, and the first rubber press was built in 1919.

• The specialization of the company until 1936 is equipment for the textile, rubber and pulp and paper industry.
• Areas of specialization until 1990 included: special equipment for the textile industry, for natural and synthetic rubber, for plastics, industrial equipment for finishing textiles and embroidery on fabric. In 1946, the first installation for pressing plastic was designed and manufactured, and in 1973, the first high-performance press for thermal bonding of non-woven fabric.
• Areas of specialization from 1990 to the present include mainly equipment and lines for processing rubber and plastics, in addition - equipment and lines for the production of non-woven fabrics and special applications.
• In 1999, the company Comerc Engineering Srl was established, it is engaged in all design services that are developed with a group of qualified designers and equipment technicians. In 2008, an industrial partnership agreement was concluded with Comerc International Srl.
• In 2007, CKA GmbH was established, a joint venture with a European partner in the plastics sector, a company that is wholly controlled by Comerio Ercole.
• In 2015, the innovative startup Com-UP was formed. Com-UP is the result of the R&D project of Comerio Ercole, it focuses primarily on the processing of consumer waste.
• In 2016, a new high-tech department was created to develop new products related to the INDUSTRY 4.0 concept. This was the formal establishment of the unit, which for some time existed as part of Comerio Ercole.

Clients of the last ten years include the most efficient and large-scale industries in the world in the above sectors, more than 90% of the production volume is exported.
