What Copura does

Copura is an Italian cooperative (Società Cooperativa) headquartered in Fornace Zarattini, Ravenna, that provides integrated facility management services to public sector and healthcare clients across Italy. Founded in 1975 by 25 women as Cooperativa Pulizie Ravenna and rebranded to Copura in 2019, the company has grown to approximately 1,200 cooperative members (soci) and operates nationally across at least 8 Italian regions including Emilia-Romagna, Lombardy, Veneto, Lazio, Marche, Umbria, and Trentino-Alto Adige.

The company delivers 10 core service lines: professional cleaning, hospital sanitization, healthcare logistics, catering support, educational facility services, environmental services, energy and maintenance, logistics and porterage, warehouse management, and concierge/security services. Its technology infrastructure centers on the Mosaico web portal (an integrated information system for service planning, coordination, verification, invoicing, and economic control), the M-Audit software module (managing quality standards including UNI EN 13549, UNI EN ISO 2859, and UNI ISO 45001 compliance), a Call Center, and GPS/temperature tracking for vaccine logistics. The company has built an extensive certification portfolio covering ISO 9001, ISO 14067 Carbon Footprint, ISO 27001/27017/27018, ISO 37001 anti-corruption, SA8000 social accountability, UNI EN 13549, PdR 125:2022 gender equality, Ecolabel, and BEST4Plus.

Copura generates revenue through multi-year managed service contracts won primarily through Italian public procurement tenders, including Consip FM Grandi Immobili framework agreements and RTI (Temporary Association of Companies) consortium structures with partners such as Kineo, Multiservice Scrl, and Consorzio ARCO Lavori. Named anchor customers include the Quirinale Palace (Italian Presidency), the Pirellone (Lombardy Regional Council), AUSL della Romagna healthcare facilities, Regione Marche, and Provincia di Perugia. The cooperative governance model means member-workers are also owners, with profits distributed partly as ristorni. The company was recognized with the SuperIndex 2020 award (for companies with €30-100M turnover) and the Premio QuadroFedele 2025 for Best Financial Statement, and is currently celebrating its 50th anniversary.
