Laboratorio Italiano Gomma Cerisie S.R.L.

What Laboratorio Italiano Gomma Cerisie S.R.L. does

Laboratorio Italiano Gomma Cerisie S.R.L. (CERISIE) is an Italian rubber and polymer testing laboratory founded circa 1972 and based in Monza, Italy. The company operates as a privately held limited liability entity, structured as an asset of Assogomma, the Italian Rubber Manufacturers Association, which gives it an unusual institutional ownership profile relative to typical independent commercial labs. With approximately 9 employees, CERISIE offers physical-mechanical, chemical, and technological testing of rubber and polymeric materials, providing more than 353 distinct tests under ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation (registration L0042). The lab also operates a Special Projects & Consulting line covering adjacent digital topics including RFID, IoT, machine vision, and AI.

CERISIE's business model is fee-for-service B2B laboratory testing, augmented by consulting, R&D support, and academic collaboration. The customer base spans multiple industries — food and water contact applications, automotive, railway, and general rubber/polymer manufacturing — and the company maintains formal recognitions or relationships with bodies including Ferrovie dello Stato, WDK, F.I.D.A.L., UCICIS, AIRP, and CIK-FIA. A 2020 Renault-conducted ranking placed CERISIE first for breadth of accredited tests among surveyed laboratories. Distribution channels include the company website (available in at least six languages), the Assogomma Academy training partnership, university collaborations, and trade fair participation including PLAST 2026. A recent move to a new Monza address at Via Velleia 4, 20900 Monza (MB) signals a physical footprint change, though pricing, contract values, and revenue mix are not publicly disclosed.
