 | 1970In 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. |
 | 1971Foreign 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. |
 | 1974The 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. |
 | 1975The market requires more models than Comac could produce, but above all it requires higher quality. |
 | 1976The L16 model is born, which imposes itself on the Italian and foreign market. |
 | 1977The Comatic 21 production line. |
 | 1978A first restyling of the Comac logo: the red color begins to distinguish the washer-dryers of the Veronese company. |
 | 1978Milan Trade Fair. |
 | 1979The L21 scrubbing machine is at the Fiera in Rome. |
“We cannot stop, we must always look beyond the present”. Giancarlo Ruffo
 | 1980Thanks to the L16 machine, Comac imposes its leadership. In the years to come, Comac completes the “L” series by introducing models with a working width ranging from 40 to 110 cm. |
 | 1981Comac participates for the first time in the most important international trade fair for the sector: Issa Interclean in Amsterdam. |
 | 1982L32 is launched on the market to further expand the range of this historic family of scrubbing machines. |
 | 1983Given the success of the previous edition, Comac decides to participate for the second time at the Issa Interclean fair in Amsterdam. |
 | 1984Comac develops rapidly and acquires its first headquarters in Via Ca ‘Nova Zampieri, also in San Giovanni Lupatoto, where it designs, manufactures and markets the entire range of products. |
 | 1985Comac becomes a joint stock company. New machines are designed, continuing to improve the previous ones, built in stainless steel, of various sizes, powered by cable and battery, thus creating a complete line distinguished by the initials “L”. The company is now at the top in the national and European market and is constantly developing thanks to the wise and prudent management of investments. “At the base always remained the simplicity, modesty and humility from which the first washer-dryer was born, but Comac grew and so did the worries. Every day was a challenge: we had to face new situations, we were tested at every moment. The certainty was only in the quality of our machines. In order to sell, we had to keep improving the quality of our products” – Giancarlo Ruffo |
 | 1985Comac becomes a constant presence at the Issa Interclean Fair in Amsterdam the surface of the stand becomes bigger and bigger in order to show the wide range of products. |
 | 1987At the end of the 80s the innovative scrubbers with operator on board arrived, such as the historic C125. |
 | 1988The C100 is also making a name for itself in the large-area cleaning market. |
 | 1989L42 is born, the latest model of a line that has made the history of the Comac brand |
 | 1990It’s the 90s; a period of economic explosion, a period of wealth and Comac understands that to face them it is necessary to give a different cut to the company. It is not enough to be a small local business that has to “experiment”, empirical management based on one’s own experience is no longer enough, but it is necessary to take a leap, become more professional in every aspect of daily work trying to maintain the balance that has been created . |
 | 1990The first C85 is launched, a scrubbing machine that becomes a reference for the professional cleaning market. |
 | 1991Presentation of the walk behind scrubbing machines of the “C” series in the Comac school |
 | 1992C40B and C50B are introduced in the “C” series. |
 | 19921992 is also the year the CB40 is launched. |
 | 1992The first incentive trip with Comac customers held in Rio de Janeiro. Not only a moment of training but also an opportunity for people to meet to create relationships that last over time. |
 | 1993C83 / C104 are the evolution of the “C” series man down |
 | 1994Comac introduces the polyethylene rotational molding technique for scrubber-dryers tanks. |
 | 19941994 is also the year in which the C130 was launched, a scrubbing machine that is unique in its kind as it is equipped with 4 counter-rotating brushes for washing and a cylindrical brush to collect dirt, thus carrying out a double cleaning action. |
 | 1995The C35 comes out, a cable model that represents one of the first examples of small washer-dryers, but with professional performance and expressly designed to operate in small environments. |
 | 1996Another fundamental step for company development is the achievement of the first ISO quality certificate thanks to the design and construction of electromagnetically compatible machines in respect of man and the environment and to the standardization of the machines with respect to current regulations in terms of quality. |
 | 1997Comac continues to innovate and in 1997 is the first company to launch a compact ride-on machine, opening a new market segment: Tripla 75, the progenitor of a series of extraordinary success that has characterized cleaning for many years. |
 | 1998Following the success of the version with a 75 cm base, Tripla 85 also enters the range. |
 | 1998The moments of meeting with your customers are fundamental for the growth of the company, they are an opportunity to strengthen relationships and find inspiration for future projects. |
 | 1999On 25 September 1999 Comac celebrates its first 25 years of activity in the professional cleaning market. |
New Millennium means rapid and constant evolution; The Internet spreads to all sectors, revolutionizing people’s communications and habits, and the world of cleaning does not remain immune to this revolution.
 | 2001Enter the Abila range, a scrubber dryer that, thanks to its performance, reliability and excellent quality / price ratio, will achieve great success worldwide, bringing the advantages of mechanized cleaning also in emerging markets. |
 | 20032003 saw the official birth of the team made up of all the companies and commercial brands that belong to the Ruffo family: Comac, Fimap, Tmb, Ruffo and Cofirent. |
 | 2004Under the banner of quality and safety, the new Test Center is presented, with the anechoic chamber to test the machines produced by Comac and by the other companies of the Group. |
 | 2005It was in 2005 that Comac decided to expand the range of its products by becoming a global supplier, adding to the already extensive range of scrubbing machines also the sale of sweepers, professional commercial vacuum cleaners, industrial vacuums and single disc machines. |
 | 20062006 marks yet another milestone for the company. In fact, an extremely innovative product was born for the market of the time: the smallest Vispa walk behind scrubbing machine. Vispa represents a worldwide successful innovation and becomes the most imitated model ever. It is considered by the market to be a revolutionary scrubbing machine since it has allowed Comac to enter the segment of cleaning small spaces and, in some cases, to supplant manual cleaning operations. This opens up a new market! |
 | 2006The sweepers division is created for the development of new products. This is where the first plans for the construction of the CS140, Comac’s first road sweeper, were born. |
 | 2007Comac’s innovative scrubbing machine wins the innovation award at the Pulire fair. |
 | 2007The impulse to change and the desire to further affirm its presence in foreign markets led to the creation of Comac Shanghai. |
 | 20072007 is also the year in which the Flexy and Ultra lines arrive on the market: new generation large ride-on scrubbers that replace some of the historical models such as the C85, innovating materials and concepts of use. |
 | 2007The CS100-120 sweepers with Bifuel, Diesel and Battery motorization are born and consequently the CS80 / 90 models are born. Comac is also able to innovate in this field. In fact, they are the first sweepers ever, placed on the market, with the same hydraulic system in both the motorized and battery-powered versions. This has made it possible to optimize consumption as much as possible by significantly increasing the autonomy especially for the latter version. |
 | 2008/2009This two-year period is very important for Comac as the entire range of walk behind scrubbing machines is completely revised. The new design, the optimization of volumes, silence and ease of use have become must-haves for the development of Comac products. In a market that is increasingly demanding, the company decides to invest in new projects in order to renew the entire line of scrubbing machines aimed at reducing costs and consumption while respecting man and the environment. |
 | 2009In a period in which environmental issues are taken into consideration by only a few companies, especially in the professional cleaning sector, Comac begins to develop a project for the recycling of the water used by scrubbing machines which will subsequently take the name of Non Stop Cleaning. |
The digital revolution not only changes people’s daily lives, but also the way we interact with the things around us, the use of the internet evolves and objects acquire intelligence thanks to the fact that they can communicate data.
With the Internet of Things, a new digital era is heralding, so technology and the world of cleaning begin to travel hand in hand.
 | 2010Constant growth has made it necessary to expand the company structure: Comac thus moves its headquarters to a new, ultra-modern and technological plant built on a plot of 23,000 square meters, once again in the province of Verona. Particular attention has been paid to the details of the spaces designed to give maximum comfort to the people who live there and to ensure a good quality of work. The entire structure conveys those concepts of reliability, innovation, quality and style that represent a precious added value of the products sold with great success by the Ruffo Group, in Italy and in the world. |
 | 2011Comac presents a model of a ride-on scrubber-dryer that can clean where traditional ride-ons do not normally reach: Innova 55. The innovation also lies in the extremely compact dimensions, like those of a walk-behind scrubber-dryer, with the advantage of being more comfortable to use and faster to clean. |
 | 2014Comac turns 40 but still feels young. The company becomes aware of the achievements, through which it has built its vision of professional cleaning, but continues to try to improve itself to bring the quality of the Comac brand higher and higher. |
 | 2015The Comac France branch was established in order to effectively control the French market. |
 | 2015The innovative CFC system – Comac Fleet Care – is born, which allows you to remotely manage your fleet of cleaning machines, collecting data that will turn into valuable information to optimize processes and make cleaning activities efficient. |
 | 2015Comac is never tired of renewing itself and launches two new models of walk behind scrubbing machines on the market: Antea and Versa. Born with the aim of combining high performance, simplicity and flexibility of use, they are the result of a new project and for this reason they also follow completely new lines in design. |
 | 2015The renewed version of a historic model is launched, which since its launch continues to be among the most requested: the C130. The new design, in addition to making the machine more current, has made it possible to simplify as much as possible all the areas of interest for the operator, increasing comfort and ease of use. |
 | 2016The company’s worldwide expansion continues with the birth of Comac India. |
 | 2018The C85 and C100 are back on the market, worthy heirs of a great tradition of mechanized cleaning that have made Comac international success. Thanks to the robust design and the “intelligent” soul, these scrubbers are able to revolutionize the traditional idea of cleaning. The implementation of the most innovative technologies has made the user experience better by giving the operator the opportunity to interact with the machine to make the most of its functions with a view to optimizing intervention times and reducing costs. |
 | 2019Comac has always been sensitive to the environmental issue and for this reason it wanted to respond to the problem of water protection with solutions that preserve it. The recycling of water used during cleaning operations is the solution in which the company believes and from which it started to develop the # comac4water concept, the natural evolution of the Non Stop Cleaning project that started ten years earlier. |
But it is not just a phase of uncertainty, there are also great hopes and actions to be taken, in fact the World Health Organization outlines the 13 Challenges for this decade. At the top of the list is the fight against climate change, but also the development of a system to be prepared and prevent epidemics in order to protect the health of the world population.
 | 20202020 was a challenging year for Comac which, like everyone else, found itself facing the global pandemic. Aware of the importance of cleaning for safeguarding people’s health, it has deployed all its know-how and has developed a complete range of machines for sanitizing floors and surfaces. |
 | 2020To strengthen its presence in Europe, the Comac Iberia branch was created. |
