Foundation
Com-Ital SpA was established in Montemurlo (Prato) for the distribution of LDPE Film on the domestic market.
HISTORY
Growth based on values: customer, quality, continuity
Com-Ital S.p.A. was established in 1971 as a plastics distribution company, thanks to the insight of two brothers, Roberto and Pio Nutini, who understood the importance of the rapidly growing demand for polymers in a variety of industrial sectors.
Since then the insight started to become organisation. The first commercial approaches with BASF in 1977, thanks to the visionary and passionate entrepreneurial spirit of Pio Nutini, represent a fundamental step towards what the company organization is today.
Today Com-Ital distributes a wide range of commodities and engineering polymers on the Italian market, with increasing attention to green products in the circular economy.
The cornerstones of Com-Ital’s operating philosophy are historically represented by absolute customer orientation, high quality products and Supply chain continuity care.
Sales staff Know-how, Customer service problem solving attitude together with application development technical support represent the main assets, allowing Com-Ital to be recognized as one of the leading companies in major market segments such as Packaging, Caps & Closures, Automotive and Medical.
The values pursued by Com-Ital are excellence, passion, integrity and responsibility, values applied on a daily basis in the choice of its partners: customers, suppliers, associates.
Today and tomorrow!
