Colorificio A. & B. Casati Spa

What Colorificio A. & B. Casati Spa does

Colorificio A. & B. Casati S.p.A. is an Italian paints and coatings manufacturer headquartered in Verona, Italy (registered office at Via Valpantena 59/B, Poiano, with a commercial and logistics site at Via Fenil Novo, San Martino Buon Albergo). Founded in 1935 and operating with approximately 43 employees, the company has accumulated more than 80 years of experience in architectural and specialty coatings and is privately held under Italian S.p.A. structure, with no public listing or disclosed institutional ownership. The firm describes itself as an important protagonist in the history of color in Italy and internationally.

The company manufactures a comprehensive range of architectural coatings organized into roughly a dozen product families: insulating wall primers and fixatives, wood primers and rust-proofing, interior and exterior wall paints (idropitture) including breathable, washable, and sanitizing variants, wall enamels (smalti), a restoration line (Linea Risanante), exterior coating systems based on siloxane, acrylic, mineral (silicate), and elastomeric chemistry, protective hydrophobizing treatments, diluents and auxiliaries, special paints (pool coatings, concrete floor paints, road-marking paints, smoke-stain blockers), a wood-treatment line (Linea Legno), sealants and skim coats, and tintometric colorants. The most differentiated technical asset is the CASATI COLOR tintometric system, in development since 1990 and maintained with over 1,700,000 color formulations, which permits on-demand shade creation across the range. Multiple products carry EPD (Eurofins) and CAM certifications, qualifying them for Italian public-sector green procurement.

Casati operates a hybrid B2B/B2C go-to-market model with no publicly disclosed pricing and quote-based contracting for bulk and project business. Channels include a direct e-commerce storefront at casati.it, branded physical retail points of sale (Punti Vendita Casati) across Italy, and distribution through the UCIC national catalog network. End customers span three primary segments: professional painters and building contractors (the principal segment), retail DIY consumers undertaking home renovation, and restoration professionals working on historic Italian buildings, with the siloxane, silicate, and lime-based systems explicitly targeted at the restoration segment.
