What Italfil does

Italfil snc di Guerra D. & C. is an Italian family-owned B2B manufacturer, founded in 1981 by Roberto Guerra and headquartered in Travagliato (Brescia), specializing in roll containers, wire mesh containers, wire displays, nestable trolleys, and a patented plastic roll container. The company operates a single ~3,000 m2 production facility and a dedicated French sales representative, with products used in logistics, retail/gdo, wine/oenology, motorsport, healthcare, industrial laundry, agriculture, and DIY/cash-and-carry sectors. Technical differentiation rests on tubular galvanized-steel construction, an independently anchored wall system, foldable/stackable designs that collapse to 250 mm and stack to six levels, and — most notably — a patented rust-free, RFID-ready plastic roll container launched in May 2025 that carries up to 500 kg.

The business model is hardware sales of customized industrial material-handling equipment priced via direct contact rather than published SKUs. Italfil sells through its multilingual website (English, Italian, French, Spanish, German), email/phone outreach, a France-based channel rep, and recurring presence at flagship trade fairs (SIMEI, Vinitaly, All4Pack, Prod&Pack, Global Pack Greece). Commercial anchors include four ISO certifications (9001, 14001, 45001, SA8000) and a renewable-energy buildout reaching 100% photovoltaic coverage from January 2026, both positioning the firm for European B2B procurement mandates. The entity is privately held, entirely founder/family-owned (no external investment, parent, or subsidiaries disclosed), and operates as a partnership under Italian law.
