Established in 1971, the Zincometal company was one of the first enterprises to adopt acid-bath technology for zinc plating instead of the traditional alkaline cyanide bath process. It was one of the first firms to provide fully automatic equipment. Today it is one of the biggest galvanic treatment facilities in Lombardy for frame and basket zinc plating.
In 1994, the the Zincometal company acquired Mario Cotta S.p.A., a leading company since 1925 in the production of industrial knives and slitting systems for the papermaking industry, plastic film and textile branches.
Thanks to this added synergy, the Zincometal company has achieved a high optimization of all available resources and extends its activity both at home and abroad.
In 1996, the Zincometal company established Mario Cotta America, Inc. in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA. This was the first step toward a stronger internationalization which the company encourages and supports. Today more than half of the company's earnings are generated from sales abroad.
In order to enlarge its activity in the converting field, in year 2003, Saval srl. joined the Zincometal Group, adding its thirty years of experience in manufacturing sheeters, rewinders and board core cutting machines.
