Our History

Our story began in the 1950s, inspired by our father's deep passion for mechanics, which played a significant role in shaping the education and careers of his sons. In 1960, the Mariotti brothers established a small mechanical workshop, which laid the foundation for what would become COMEC. In 1968, the company moved to its current headquarters in Caronno Pertusella, just outside Milan.

Over the years, we expanded our capabilities, designing and manufacturing specialized machines and equipment for a range of industries, including glass, food processing, jewelry, and more. By the late 1980s, technological innovation and growing global competition encouraged COMEC to broaden its expertise, embracing electronics and cutting-edge manufacturing solutions.

Today, the third generation of the Mariotti family continues this legacy. Operating out of a 2,000 square meter facility, surrounded by 3,000 square meters of parkland, our team of skilled professionals combines passion with the latest technologies to deliver exceptional quality and service.
