ECOR was established in Schio in the mid ’80s thanks to the idea and the vision of the founder SergioLucietto.

ECOR from the very beginning stands out for successful business ideas; in the early ’80s it opens a stockof trading of raw material in stainless steel to supply small local businesses in northern Italy. In the years, theturnover increased significantly; Mr Lucietto, understanding the needs of the market, creates and develops aworkshop for the manufacturing of pipes and drawn components.

Once again the choice is winning and in the mid ’90s ECOR becomes a supplier of drawn components ofTetra Pak, a Swedish international company in the field of Liquid Food Industry.In 2008 through a series of corporate transactions ECOR divides its trade business from the manufacturing workshop.

ECOR acquires a shareholding of Euroinox Quality Srl, extends its partecipation in N.P.C. Srland buys shares in Gieminox Srl.

Four companies and 250 employees allow us to be

flexible and fast, but at the same time give us the

strength to find the resources needed to deliver

major projects.

Today ECOR Research has achieved 30 years of experience in design&developement,production and assembly of components and modules for Liquid Food, Pharmaceutical andMedical Industry. In 2008, according to its strategic market development, ECOR Researchdecided to invest in the field of Scientific Research and in the Aerospace Industry.

The core business of the company is welding and all its related special processes ontitanium alloys, stainless steels and special alloys.
