How is it possible to relate almost a century of Made in Italy innovation? With technology for the future: electric and sustainable for the environment and for the people. CIFA will be at Samoter 2023 (area F stands 21-24) while celebrating its 95th anniversary.

Since its foundation, CIFA has grown alongside the changes all around the world, becoming more and more international while maintaining a distinctive Italian identity, no doubt due to its Made in Italy production (in the Senago - Milan and Castiglione delle Stiviere - Mantua plants) and also to the ingenuity that has always hallmarked Italian style. With the knowledge of having a remarkable past, CIFA never ceases to build the future, applying the expertise gained in almost a century of history with a focus on technological  innovation that today cannot ignore the concept of sustainability, towards the environment and towards the  people. Hence, it will take the models that best represent this philosophy to Samoter.

Davide Cipolla, CEO of CIFA: “From 1928 to the present day, it is impossible to list the countless  transformations and evolutions that our products and company have gone through. In this regard,  we have redefined our identity through an analytical path that has led us to create a new meaning  for the name CIFA, which has changed from Compagnia Italiana Forme Acciaio and now stands  for Curiosity, Ingenuity, Flexibility, Attention, to mark a new era, aimed at responding to the everincreasing demands for sustainability, without forgetting the principles that have helped us thrive  in almost a hundred years.”
