Cosmet Group

What Cosmet Group does

Cosmet Group S.r.l. is an Italian manufacturer of PVC, wood, wood-aluminum, and aluminum windows and doors, founded in 1986 by Nicola Rubolino in Scanzano Jonico, Basilicata, and organized as a holding with four sub-brands: Cosmet (PVC), Fideal (wood and wood-aluminum), Alwo (aluminum), and Prime (ultra-slim aluminum). The group operates three specialized production facilities in Scanzano Jonico (PVC and aluminum) and Rotondella (wood and wood-aluminum), with proprietary engineering anchored by the patented SGS (Sistema a Giunzione Semplificata) thermal-break junction system developed in-house and certifications including FSC, Qualicoat, Qualideco, and AsseCo.

The commercial model is exclusively indirect: products are sold through a nationwide Italian network of 1,560+ authorized sales agents and resellers, supported by Cosmet Academy training, regional area managers covering 16 regions, an online product configurator, and financing partnerships (Deutsche Bank interest-free installments, alignment with Italian ECOBONUS and Bonus Barriere Architettoniche tax incentives). End customers are primarily residential property owners undertaking renovation or new-construction projects; secondary segments include architects/designers specifying minimalist profiles, and B2B partners needing multi-product variety. The company markets via regional TV and radio (TeleNorba, RadioNorba network), social media, content marketing, and major industry events such as MADE EXPO and YED Vicenza.

Ownership is concentrated in the Rubolino family, with founder Nicola Rubolino serving as President, his brother Antonio Rubolino as Technical Director, and Gennaro Fosso as Direttore Generale; a generational transition is underway with Nicola's children Rossana and Vincenzo assuming administrative and business-management roles. Cosmet Group was recognized as a Campione della Crescita in 2025 and 2026 by La Repubblica Affari&Finanza and ITQF and is celebrating its 40th anniversary in 2026.
