Gepi

What Gepi does

Gepi S.r.l. is an Italian private limited company (legal name GEPI S.R.L., VAT P.IVA 02436390161) founded in 1992 by Roberto Ghilardi and Ubaldo Pacati, headquartered in Torre Boldone (Bergamo) with a 3,600+ sqm operational site and a 4,500 sqm manufacturing facility dedicated to insulation prefabrication and material logistics. The company provides specialized thermo-acoustic insulation, passive fire compartmentalization, and industrial scaffolding services to civil, industrial, hospital, and pharmaceutical sector clients across at least nine European countries. Core technical capabilities include in-house prefabrication using numerical-control machinery, certified materials (rock wool, glass wool, elastomeric rubber, cryogenic insulators, and microporous/nanotechnology materials), and proprietary mobile workshops that enable on-site fabrication quality for international projects. Key certifications — ISO 9001:2015 from Bureau Veritas, VCA for Northern European petrochemical work, and SOA attestation for Italian public tenders — function as regulatory moats for accessing high-value enterprise and public-sector engagements.

Gepi generates revenue through project-based B2B professional services, with five integrated service lines: thermal insulation for civil and industrial plants, acoustic insulation (noise barriers, soundproof cabins, custom systems), EI-certified passive fire compartmentalization, complete scaffolding assembly/disassembly/rental via affiliated Kempont, and bespoke specialized solutions (insulating cushions, thermal shields, ventilated boxes). Pricing is fully quote-driven with no public list. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales through phone (035 344656), email ([email protected]), and website inquiries, complemented by participation in SOA-qualifying Italian public tenders and referrals through industrial professional networks. The customer base is enterprise-grade and diversified across energy (Acea, A2A, Enertime, Energie Germania/Olanda), retail (Esselunga, Iper), real estate (City Life Milano, Arexpo), infrastructure (Aeroporto Linate), and industrial manufacturing (Ceramiche Sassuolo). Ownership remains founder-family controlled, with second-generation leaders Simone Ghilardi and Rudy Pacati formally taking over leadership in 2025.
