What Gruppo Marazzato does

Gruppo Marazzato is an Italian family-owned environmental services company founded in 1952 in Valle d'Aosta and now headquartered in Borgo Vercelli. The company provides a full-service offering across the special waste value chain, including collection, transport, treatment, and disposal/recovery of hazardous and non-hazardous solid and liquid waste, alongside environmental remediation (soil decontamination, harbor dredging, contaminated site cleanup), civil and industrial drainage via a 50-vehicle suction truck fleet, 24/7 environmental emergency response, industrial cleaning, tank and cistern services, asbestos removal, suction excavation, and video inspection. Core technical infrastructure centers on the wholly-owned Azzurra Srl multi-functional treatment platform in Villastellone (Turin), which performs chemical-physical-biological treatment and hosts the group's R&D center for circular economy and PFAS abatement projects. Group-level certifications (SOA Class VII for public works up to €15.5M, Albo Gestori Ambientali Category 9A up to €9M, ISO 45001, SA8000, UNI/PdR 125:2022, Rating di Legalità two stars) enable participation in large public tenders, and the group operates 8 operational offices, 7 commercial offices, and a fleet of more than 250 vehicles nationally.

The business model is service-based and project-based, with quote-driven pricing for customized waste management and remediation engagements, supplemented by participation in public tenders and a 24/7 emergency response hotline. Customers are horizontally segmented across industrial companies, public administrations (municipalities and national government), construction firms, and private individuals, with named municipal clients including the Comune di Milano (Porta Romana remediation for the 2026 Winter Olympics Village) and the Comone di Rapallo (Gulf of Rapallo harbor rehabilitation). The company is structured as a benefit corporation (società benefit) since 2023, and complementary assets include the Wastudy data observatory (Italian special waste market intelligence covering 600+ operators, now in 6th edition with AGICI and Cerved Group), the Fondazione Marazzato non-profit for CSR and the 280+ vehicle historic collection, and the newly launched Marazzato Academy internal training program. The group is led by General Manager Alberto Marazzato as part of the third-generation family leadership, supported by a renewed Board of Directors appointed in 2025 to professionalize governance.
