About

Since 1990

Our History

More than 30 years of expertise in the automated kegs, cans and glass bottling plants field.

1990

Co.Mac, today a leading company in the sector of automated bottling kegs and cans filling systems, was founded in 1990 in Bonate Sotto, a small town near Bergamo. Since then, year after year, project after project, Co.Mac has succeeded, by installing its plants, in becoming one of the most important players in the international beverage market.

2000

The Research and Development department was set up in 2000, which immediately produced new machines and parts, including a new bottling electronic filling valve and new washing and filling heads for kegging.

2005

Further research and technological improvements put Co.Mac in 2005 to produce high-speed filling plants with a production capacity of over 1,000 kegs/hour. It is the company’s breakthrough: thanks to this achievement, Co.Mac becomes the world leader in the keg filling field. Our brand is linked to the most important worldwide brewers and brands, such as Heineken, AB-InBev, CocaCola, Carlsberg, SABMiller, GrupoModelo, Cuauhtémoc Moctezuma, EFES Group, Mahou San Miguel, Bavaria, Baltika and MillerCoors — as well as microbreweries and craft breweries, for whom we develop customized solutions. In 2018, thanks to the know-how gained, Co.Mac became part of CFT Group, making itself a reliable partner.

2021

Since March 2021, we are part of the Canadian-based ATS Corporation group — an addition to our international commitment. Today, Co.Mac systems are installed in more than 90 countries around the world. Step by step, we work to make Co.Mac more and more reliable, global and perfect for you.

Governance

Ethical Approach

The process of adopting and implementing the Organization, Management and Control Model (Legislative Decree 231/2001) began in 2017 and has been applied since the beginning of 2018. The Model helps Co.Mac. benefit from the exemptions envisaged by the Decree, while also improving its management procedures and ensuring business operations are conducted correctly and transparently. Co.Mac. has assigned a supervisory board to oversee the Model, check its real effectiveness, and appraise the need for updates. In 2018 the company developed an Ethics and Financial Integrity policy defining relationships with all stakeholders, internal and external.
