What Ecomat does

Ecomat S.r.l. is an Italian private company founded in 2005 that operates under the Oltremateria brand to manufacture eco-compatible continuous surface materials for architecture, interior design, and specialty applications. Its core technology stack comprises Ecomalta ecological mortar, Oleomalta (a proprietary sunflower oil-based eco-resin), and the patented ECOPUR ionizing technology, complemented by systems such as the CALDOBENESSERE infrared heating solution and MODULA large-format panels. Products are specified by architects, designers, and contractors for high-end residential, hospitality, retail, automotive, and yacht interiors and are applied by trained craft installers rather than end-consumers.

The business model is built on a controlled B2B go-to-market: materials are sold and installed through a "Network Quality" of certified resellers and applicators, with Ecomat delivering approximately 600 hours of structured training annually to maintain execution quality. Revenue is generated via product sales plus application services tied to certified installers, supported by an extensive certifications portfolio (CE, ISO 9001:2015, Indoor Air Comfort, CAM ITALIA, AgBB, BREEAM, LEED, VOC A+, Japanese F Four Star, Biosafe) that qualifies the products for green-building and low-emission specifications. The company is privately held, led by founder and CEO Loris Casalboni, and headquartered in San Giovanni in Marignano, Italy, with international activity in France, Germany, and Japan.

Ecomat's customer base spans luxury fashion (FENDI, CHANEL, ARMANI), premium furniture (B&B Italia, RIVA-1920, PEDINI CUCINE), automotive (IVECO), hospitality (STARBUCKS, ROBINSON, CERVO), yacht interiors (NEREA YACHT), and cultural/institutional projects (Fondazione Umberto Boccioni, LIFEGATE). Strategic priorities visible in 2025-2026 include design-led international expansion (Compasso d'Oro ADI 2025 at Expo Osaka, partnership with Toshiyuki Kita, BIG SEE Product Design Award 2026 for ERAILCAFFÈ), broadening the product surface into heating and modular panels, and academic R&D partnerships with Italian universities. No funding rounds, headcount figures, or revenue figures are disclosed.

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Mapei: Italian multinational specialized in chemical products for the building industry, including resin flooring systems and surface coatings. Comparable as an Italian-origin manufacturer of chemical-based surface systems serving commercial and residential construction, though at vastly larger scale.
• Kerakoll Group: Italian manufacturer of eco-compatible building materials, adhesives, and decorative surface systems (including resin/microcement lines). Closest direct peer to Oltremateria's eco-resin continuous surfaces, with overlapping Italian heritage, certified-green positioning, and similar distribution through trained applicators.
• Sto SE & Co. KGaA: European leader in sustainable building coatings, facades, and interior wall systems with strong sustainability certifications. Comparable as a certified-eco surface/coating manufacturer targeting green-construction specs, though much larger and broader in scope.
• Luxurycrete/Style Resin (Topciment): Spanish specialist in microcement and decorative continuous coatings. Comparable product category (low-thickness decorative resin finishes), distribution model (trained applicators), and design-led premium positioning against Oltremateria's Ecomalta/Oleomalta.
• Ideal Work: Italian maker of decorative concrete, microcement, and continuous resin surfaces for floors and walls. Direct competitor in the European decorative-resin/coating niche that Oltremateria targets, with a comparable applicator-network model.

Broad incumbents

• Sika AG: Global specialty chemicals company with flooring, sealing, bonding, and surface solutions for construction. Overlaps with Oltremateria's continuous surface and resin product family, but operates as a much broader incumbent across many construction-chemical categories.
• Akzo Nobel Decorative Paints: Global paints and coatings giant whose Dulux/Sikkens brands include low-VOC interior coatings and surface finishes. Comparable as a broad incumbent in eco-certified surface coatings, though at far larger scale and with a different GTM (mass retail vs. Oltremateria's specification/applicator model).
• BASF Master Builders Solutions: BASF's construction-chemicals division covering flooring resins, coatings, and surface systems. Comparable in resin-floor technology category and global specification footprint, but a much larger portfolio incumbent.

Emerging players

• Continental Carbon (Continental Coatings): European manufacturer of decorative and protective coatings including resin-based wall and floor finishes. Niche overlap with Oltremateria's continuous-surface coatings, particularly in the architectural/specification channel.

Regional players

• SkavaGroup (Skava): Italian/UK continuous-surface and resin flooring specialist serving luxury residential and commercial projects. Comparable in microcement/resin continuous surfaces and design-led premium positioning, focused on EU/UK markets.
