Leading company in the field of die casting dies manufacturing for aluminum and magnesium, COMEST was founded in 1968 near Bologna by Mr. Tiziano Rossi.
The company is specialized in the design and manufacturing of small-medium and large dies up to 60 tons, for die casting machines up to 4400 tons.
The facility is extended over an area of 8.700 m2, with a fully equipped workshop as well as technical, administration and sales departments.
Born in 1939, Mr Tiziano Rossi begins his career in the early ‘60s, after terminating his studies at the famous Aldini Valeriani Technical Institute in Bologna, whose scholars created many world-leading enterprises in the region.
The journey began in a company manufacturing die casting and plastic injection moulds, where Mr Tiziano Rossi was able to follow his passion for the mechanical world, soon becoming chief production supervisor.
In 1968 Mr Rossi decides to set up his own business, creating COMEST, which stands for Costruzione Meccanica Stampi (Mechanical Die Casting Dies Manufacturing).
Together with a few expert collaborators, he works night and day to lay the basis of the new-born company.
Mr Rossi and his team, working with strong commitment and determination, will be able to build and equip a new workshop of around 4000 m2, hiring more and more workers.
New orders will rise and the number of machines grow.
In 1986 Comest moves to a new location in Sala Bolognese (in the outskirts Bologna), with a 6500 m2 workshop. Thanks to constant investments in new machinery, the company grows from 25 to 50 production units.
A Die Casting Machine 2800 ton for testing the dies is acquired and the Company specializes more and more on medium and big-size dies, providing 3D engineering, sampling, dimensional control, high speed machining through state-of-the-art technologies.
In 1993 a second facility of 2200 m2 is built, hosting new working stations. The company strategy focuses more and more on cutting-edge technologies. Constant investments enable to reach full control over all production phases guaranteeing at one time top quality manufacturing and best lead times.
In 2003 Comest becomes one of the few die casting dies manufacturer in the world capable of providing its customers with the complete realization of die casting dies in-house, from die holders machining to full die manufacturing, final sampling and dimensional control, thanks to a workshop equipped with the most advanced machinery.
Only between 2014 - 2015 the following machinery is acquired: MILLUTENSIL spotting press; customized extra-large milling and deep drilling machine with load capacity of 60.000 Kg; Vacuum Fondarex System; GOM – 3D Scanning system; ProCAST metal filling simulation software.
Long-term experience and full service at any stage of project development contribute to guarantee our customers' satisfaction and the company constant growth, with an average production rate of 50 medium-large dies per year.
The mold assembly Department is expanded and equipped with new 25 tons additional lift bridge wagon, added to the already existing 32 and 16 tons. In the manufacturing department are installed new milling machines for big bolsters and inserts machining.
Comest expands its workshop by connecting two existing buildings so as to obtain a total surface area of 11,000m2, creating an area dedicated to the assembly and maintenance program of large moulds, equipped with overhead cranes for lifting up to 60tons. The work was completed in 2021.
A quarter of our energy needs are generated by our photovoltaic system located on the company roof.
