Punto Gas

What Punto Gas does

Punto Gas is a privately held Italian Srl founded in 1990 by Spartaco Lombardelli and headquartered in Albano Laziale, Rome. The company sells, installs, and services LPG (GPL) and methane fuel-conversion systems for passenger and commercial vehicles. It operates as the exclusive Italian concessionario for BRC Gas Equipment and offers a parallel portfolio that includes REC-GAS LPG recovery stations, Newtron hybrid retrofit kits, Equip Assist (a workshop-equipment mobile app), the Agip Novecento vintage-car lubricant sub-brand, MotorSistem additives, towing hitches and trailers under Brink/Ellebi, and TEXA truck diagnostics. Commercial revenue is generated from hardware sales (kits, equipment, lubricants), professional training (BRC GPL and FGAS certification courses), vehicle inspection (MCTC/collaudi), and direct installation services at company facilities and through affiliated workshops. Distribution is primarily indirect: roughly 102 BRC Gas Service workshops, 19 Agip Novecento, 11 Eni Lubrificanti, and 7 Green Star authorized partners serve customers across Lazio, the province of L'Aquila, and the province of Terni. Go-to-market combines this regional workshop network with direct B2B portals, an e-commerce storefront (agipnovecento.puntogas.it), event participation (Moto Days 2026), and a social/newsletter presence. The business is small-scale, founder-controlled, with €110,000 share capital and no institutional investment, M&A, or external funding activity on record.
