What Comes does
Comes SpA is an Italian industrial construction and engineering services company headquartered in Taranto and founded in 1988 by Vincenzo Cesareo. It operates through four coordinated Business Units — Engineering, Electrical Instrumentation, Mechanical, and Marine — delivering design, installation, maintenance, and operations support for electrical systems, instrumentation, mechanical assemblies, and fluid-dynamic systems across power generation, renewables, oil & gas, naval/defense, petrochemical, steel, railway, and infrastructure projects. The company holds a dense set of industrial certifications (ISO 9001/14001/45001, ISO 3834-2, EN 1090-EXC4, SOA, AVEVA SCADA integrator) and executes work under AVEVA SCADA, ETAP simulation, Aveva E3D/Revit 3D modeling, PLC-based automation, and CNC precision machining platforms.
Comes generates revenue primarily through bid-based professional services contracts (multi-year) with international EPC contractors and major asset owners, supplemented by managed-services O&M contracts and hardware sales from its mechanical manufacturing operations. Its go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales targeting EPCs, energy operators, naval shipyards, and infrastructure concessionaires, with a particularly strong track record on mission-critical projects including the MOSE flood protection system in Venice, ITER nuclear fusion cabling at Cadarache, FREMM military vessels for Fincantieri, and combined-cycle power installations with Ansaldo Energia. Customers include ENI/Versalis, A2A, Ansaldo Energia, Fincantieri, Terna, RFI, Snam, Leonardo, Acciaierie d'Italia, Albioma, and ITER. The company has international offices in France, Germany, and the UK, and was selected for Borsa Italiana's Ipoready 2025 programme, signaling IPO readiness.
