2014
Manifattura Guarnizioni COLOMBO & C. spa manufac-
tures a wide variety of gaskets and sealing systems for
machines and industrial plants.
Known as “COLOMBO” by industry insiders the compa-
ny has always been regarded as a highly qualified refer-
ence point for technicians, engineers, and skilled main-
tenance workers.
A reliable partner capable of providing customers with a
specific and superior know-how for all applications, the
company is currently one of the major Italian manufac-
turers of gaskets and sealing systems.
Customers who rely on solutions offered by COLOMBO
are able to experience concrete benefits such as cost

critically, the support of competent advice and proven
expertise.
PRESTIGIOUS MANUFACTURING WITH THE STRENGTH OF “MADE IN ITALY”
COLOMBO is able to offer the best support to the global market in the design and implementation of efficient sealing solutions.
The considerable resources invested in new technologies to modernize and update machinery and production facilities, and in the training of technical and commercial personnel on personal safety systems and environmental protection issues are the strong points through which the company can provide reliable and timely responses. In fact, we firmly believe that only through a continuing development and research program in every aspect of the business are we able to meet the most complex requirements.
Thanks to this corporate policy, COLOMBO has been able to employ a complex and diverse chain of production processes, most of which must be performed by hand, in order to obtain products that embody the essence and pride of “Made in Italy”.
AN INTERNATIONAL PLAYER OPEN TO NEW OPPORTUNITIES
Profile
Manifattura Guarnizioni COLOMBO & C. SPA was founded in Mi-lan in 1911 by Mr. Rinaldo Colombo, although actually, the activity began in 1906 in the Italian branch of the famous Burgmann Com-pany, still regarded today as a global leading brand in the production of mechanical seals.
In the same year of its foundation, COLOMBO participated in the first Italian industrial fair, which took place in Turin on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the proclamation of the unification of Italy. The enthusiasm and passion for entrepreneurial activity in the field of mechanical engineering led to the creation of a successful com-pany, which, in the wake of its founder’s imprint, established itself as an excellent representation of “Made in Italy”.
Even today, as generations succeeded at the helm of the company, the entrepreneurial spirit remains intact, and with it the commit-ment to research, innovation and experimentation, and to continue on the path of development of a company that has always shown great respect for the environment and the community.
In 1994 Manifattura Guarnizioni COLOMBO E C. SPA was taken over by a group of managers already involved in the field of indus-trial gaskets, who were able to give new momentum and a revived energy to the historical team.

Our history ourfuture
Throughout its history, COLOMBO has faced different situations and economic conditions through which it learned to shape its activity and employ substantial changes while exploring new opportunities with great interest.
The continuous expansion of the sales area and the consolidation of our presence in international markets cannot be separated from the wealth of knowledge, not only technological, resulted from an extensive work experience, the awareness of our abilities and the quality of human resources operating within COLOMBO.
The combination of these fundamental attributes, the awareness of belonging to a land rich in resourcefulness, passion and creativity are the focal point for providing the best customer service, ready for new challenges and new goals to be reached.

All efforts and measures taken to improve the business processes are designed to offer our customers a quality product at an excellent level. Our goal, supported by the commitment and investments made in recent years, is to exceed our customers’ expec-tations by creating a relationship of trust.
To maintain and improve quality standards, COLOMBO constantly strives to promote a new culture of quality at all levels of the organization by strengthening the profes-sional skills and improving all business processes.

PRODUCTION
SALES AND CUSTOMER SERVICE
Our attention to quality is not limited to the design and manufacture of products, but also involves all business
protocols, from management of suppliers to technical support of customers.
Our technical department has a qualified team that spe-cializes in the design of new products in strict adherence to the company Quality Management System, where
each processing step of the project (from the review to the validation up until the customer approval) is docu-mented at all stages.
To obtain a quality product requires an accurate choice of raw materials and semi-finished products, and this is also possible thanks to the selection of capable and reliable suppliers. A vendor always at the forefront in proposing new materials is a key factor in obtaining final products that meet the needs of our customers.
COLOMBO has built a team of suppliers with whom we engage constantly to define raw materials with specifica-tions repeatable over time and unchangeable in their composition, to allow us to obtain consistently high qual-ity standard products.
Excellence in the production departments is systemati-cally sought through constant updating and improve-ment, involving individually the staff of each plant. Each
production area is thoroughly checked to allow the employees to better perform their tasks from the point of view of safety while following efficient procedures.
COLOMBO is committed to promoting the technical training of the internal staff and, where necessary, of its own customers also, by facilitating a complete profes-
sional path to improve the knowledge of the products and their applications
The export of our products to areas that extends from Asia to South America exposed us to different markets in the context of requirements and technical standards. The opening of new markets has led us to interact with many new requests and to accept new challenges, tests
that COLOMBO has always been ready to face and over-come, not only by expanding the area of activity, but also its own know-how.

RESPONSIBLE GROWTH
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
COLOMBO has always been responsive to customers ‘ requests for the production of new products. Research and development have indeed become an integral part of everyday life and undeniably represent the path to the future. Anticipating new needs is for COLOMBO a staple in the progress of the company. This is obtained by making the customers ‘ needs our own, studying in depth
the application fields, and analyzing the demands of the market. To achieve this goal it is essential to implement training plans for all personnel to enable us to provide our cus-tomers with an appropriate response.
The continuous motivation of the staff, the passion for our work and the ability to produce a quality product: these are the basic elements of the image and reputation that COLOMBO has gained in the global market. The company promotes a policy of complete transparen-cy so that the staff can relate directly with customers in a climate of fairness and integrity, by facilitating interper-
sonal communications on the one hand to strengthen the sense of belonging to a ‘group’ on the other, to keep the image of trust and honesty that the company has gained since its inception.
