What Zincol Lombarda S.r.l. does

Zincol Lombarda S.r.l. is an Italian industrial service provider specializing in hot-dip galvanizing of steel and iron components, founded in 1960 and headquartered in Bellusco (Monza e Brianza province), Lombardy. The company operates one of Europe's largest galvanizing baths, measuring 13 meters in length, 1.6 meters in width, and 2.6 meters in depth, enabling treatment of both light and heavy structural steel components. Its core process involves a multi-stage workflow — degreasing, pickling (HCl 120–130 g/l), washing, fluxing (ZnCl2-NH4Cl), drying (70–80°C), and immersion in molten zinc at approximately 450°C compliant with UNI EN 1179 (99.5% Zn purity) — followed by optional chrome-free passivation using an organic-based solution to prevent white rust. The company holds triple ISO certification (9001, 14001, 45001) and complies with UNI EN ISO 1461 coating thickness standards.

The company operates as a B2B industrial service provider targeting metalworking carpenters (carpenterie metalliche), construction and engineering firms, industrial manufacturing companies, and public works contractors across Northern Italy, with focused service in the Milan, Lecco, Bergamo, and Como provinces. Pricing is quote-based and calculated per kilogram or per square meter of treated surface, with each project evaluated on material type, thickness, volume, geometry, and pre-treatment requirements. Zincol Lombarda is a privately held subsidiary of Co.Ge.Fin. Group (Cogefin S.p.A.), an Italian industrial holding founded in 1957 by the Colombo family, which operates 13 production sites with reported annual revenue exceeding €150 million. The company offers integrated turnkey service including in-house transport via two company-owned trucks, packing list preparation, and technical consulting from quotation through delivery.

Functional benefit

Products and services

• Hot-Dip Galvanizing (Zincatura a Caldo) Surface coating process that protects steel and iron from corrosion by immersing metal components in molten zinc at approximately 450°C. The full in-house process includes degreasing (surfactant immersion), pickling (HCl 120-130 g/l), washing, fluxing (zinc ammonium chloride), drying (70-80°C oven), and galvanizing in molten zinc compliant with UNI EN 1179 (99.5% Zn standard). Provides both barrier and cathodic protection, with coating durability of 20-50+ years depending on environment.
• Metal Passivation (Passivazione Metalli) Post-galvanizing treatment using a chrome-free passivation solution made from a blend of organic substances. Extends the brightness of galvanized surfaces and delays zinc oxidation, preventing white rust formation during storage. REACH-compliant and environmentally conscious.
• Transport Service Dedicated transport service for galvanized materials across Lombardy and Northern Italy, using two company-owned trucks for reliable, on-time delivery. Special transport (semi-trailers, low loaders, articulated trucks) available upon request for oversized loads.
• Packing List and Packaging Comprehensive packaging service for galvanized products including detailed packing lists tailored to customer specifications, with options for custom packaging, protective film wraps, and pre-weighed bundles.
• Technical Consulting (Consulenza Tecnica) Professional technical consulting for galvanizing projects, including on-site inspections, tailor-made quotes, and dedicated advisors throughout the entire process to maximize corrosion resistance and meet specific project requirements.
