OUR HISTORY

Comac’s history is full of events. There have been glorious moments and other more difficult ones, but people have always been at the center of his journey. The challenges of the cleaning market are ever greater, yet Comac has always had the ability to innovate and renew itself. This ability to innovate has made it a leading brand in the professional floor cleaning sector.

Comac takes its first steps in a free market full of potential

1970

In the early 1970s a young Giancarlo Ruffo, then a brilliant salesman of motor hoes, managed to convince the company he works for to sell sweepers also in the Italian market, which was then considered not very advanced for a product of this type. The results exceeded expectations, and soon Giancarlo realized that the market needed a machine that could also wash, a scrubbing machine.

1971

Foreign manufacturers of scrubbing machines do not believe in the Italian market, so Giancarlo Ruffo illustrates his idea of producing them in Italy to his friend Domenico Accadia, mechanic and owner of a small workshop.
The first ten machines are produced, all sold in a short time.

1974

The first handcrafted models see the light in the small headquarters in San Giovanni Lupatoto.

In these years, the first historic Comac scrubbing machines were launched, the Lavait 400 and Lavait 500.

1975

The market requires more models than Comac could produce, but above all it requires higher quality.
Thus was born the first L32 that Comac has a cleaning company tested with disappointing results. But it is from mistakes that we learn and the criticisms received become the stimulus to improve and improve. From this experience Comac understands that it is necessary to produce quality machines, of value but above all at the right price in order to retain customers.

1976

The L16 model is born, which imposes itself on the Italian and foreign market.

1977
