Imel has been able to make use of the experience of its founders, placing the customer at the center of its business, with the objective of creating coatings capable of satisfying both the needs of the client as well as those of the specialist technician.

A company looking to the future can only have modern and comfortable headquarters. This is what IMEL, which is currently completing the last finishing touches in the new structure in Codroipo, pursued when designing the spaces for customers, partners, collaborators and especially for employees. For IMEL, in fact, the value of human resources is fundamental for the success of the company. Motivated and satisfied (as well as prepared) people can make the difference in a highly competitive market such as that of surface coating. Outside as well as inside, in the offices and in the corridors, the new headquarters is a mix of innovation and tradition, of design lines and reassuring shapes, where, next to glass and steel, wood makes a fine show.

The environment: the future is close to our hearts – The adjective “eco-compatible” refers to processes or products that have the ability to integrate with the environment in which human beings live and, in general, with the surrounding ecosystem. IMEL goes further, designing plants in which the concept of environment extends to the “system of structural interrelations between a subject and its space of relevance”. Not only. In every IMEL project “development is sustainable if it satisfies the needs of present generations without compromising those of future generations”. From this point of view, every project is eco-compatible, because in addition to meeting the complex needs of the user, it promotes sustainable development in relation to the three main areas of reference: economic, environmental, social. In this way it guarantees conditions of well-being with a reduced consumption of environmental resources and a low level of pollution.

Growth – Over the past 50 years, IMEL has achieved a level of growth that places it among the most important Italian companies in the industrial coating sector. The company has undergone significant investment and evolution, combined with a targeted marketing strategy. These actions have enabled the company to lay the foundations for its subsequent commercial performance. Today, IMEL looks to the future with optimism and confidence, aware of its role and the strength of its expertise. The company does not want to stop and for the next few years intends to develop an extensive service network in emerging countries, opening branch offices available to customers.

Among IMEL’s distinctive features is its great ductility and its ability to tailor its products to the most diverse fields of application. Indeed, the Friuli-based company’s marked propensity for innovation has enabled it to specialize in the coating and construction of coating systems in four main areas: automotive, agricultural machinery and large-scale equipment, industry and household appliances. These are all areas in which IMEL is able to provide a service of excellence, offering its clients a turnkey product that ranges from design through to after-sales service.
