Thanks to the recent school reform, students attending high school can benefit from the initiative called “Work-Study Program”. This is a great opportunity offered to teenagers to spend some weeks working in various companies and learning about the working life. GemmeCotti believes that this project could really give big benefits to the young people for their future. That’s why for more than 10 years we have been in contact with local high schools and we have been hosting many students in our offices for short internships. Now, thanks to the “Work-Study Program”, GemmeCotti could made itself regularly available for welcoming these young people.
Cristina – Marketing Manager in GemmeCotti: “This kind of activity allows young people both to understand the working life in a company and to experience a different world made of responsibilities and activities they are not accustomed to. GemmeCotti team shows to these students the various aspects of the company and guides them to do easy activities by themselves.”
We interviewed two of our most recent students, Giorgia and Nicola. They’re both attending the last year but in two different kinds of school. Giorgia was interested in the account and marketing office, while Nicola in the technical office.
Cristina: “What did you do during the weeks spent in GemmeCotti?”
Giorgia: “I could join the colleagues of the sales office and closely observe how they prepared invoices, quotations, shipping documents and all kind of documentation necessary to sell the products. Concerning marketing I actively performed some tasks as for example searching for new prospects and update the data base regarding active customers.”
Nicola: “In the technical office I had the chance to see how the technicians designed new pumps and all their parts with 3D design software. Moreover, I assisted to a lot of pump tests, that are necessary to check the correct functioning of the pumps and their performances.” 
Cristina: “Did you felt at ease here in our company?”
Nicola: “Yes! Despite being busy with their everyday work, the team has always found enough time to guide me through different tasks. It has been a very satisfying experience.”
Giorgia: “Yes, the relationships with the colleagues were very good in my opinion. I felt comfortable with all my colleagues, who were very kind and helpful.”
Cristina: “What do you think about this experience in general?”
Giorgia: “I think I’ve learned a lot of things and not only concerning professional issues: for example, I’ve understood that personal commitment is always necessary in order to obtain good results.”
Nicola: “This experience allowed me to better comprehend the company core business, the possible job roles, the different working approaches and I could also learn new tasks. I’m happy I could see the real working environment first-hand because I’ll have to do with it in a few years.”
We are happy that these two young people had a satisfying experience in GemmeCotti and we hope we could host many other willing students like Georgia and Nicola in the future.
This year, GemmeCotti decided to support an initiative which is important for us and we made a special gift to children.
We contributed to a fundraiser organized by a non-profit organization called “Comocuore”. They are located in Como and since 1985 they have been promoting initiatives with the aim to reduce death rate due to heart deseases. The word “Cuore” in Italian actually means “heart”.
Thanks to the initiative called “Missione Cuore” (“Heart Mission”) we bought walnuts to contribute to the donation of 50 defibrillators to many schools in our territory. It’s very important for us to know that these defibrillators could save children’s lives, making our schools a safer place for them.

“On the occasion of the GemmeCotti’s 25th anniversary, I would like to express my gratitude to those who have contributed, during these years, to the growth of the company.
It’s very touching for me to think back to more than 25 years ago, when Marino Cotti and I started dreaming about founding a company together. At that time, we were hoping to reach the top, to be able to build a profitable and long-lasting business, but the reality went beyond our best expectations. If I think about all the efforts we made to reach the current position, and about the fact that we started with only a few resources, what I can see today looks even better.
Remembering the past, I went through our old catalogues and I realized even more how much time has passed and how much GemmeCotti grew and developed during these years. From the first pumps we sold as simple distributors to the first series entirely designed and produced by us. The company has changed deeply and so our products. We started with only few models and today we are able to provide about twenty different series with more than 400 pumps variations.
We were born as a small company which supplied pumps only for the Italian market but today, after 25 years, our products are sold in 87 countries around the world. From then we have really improved our business. Thinking about our pumps being used and appreciated by customers located on the other side of the world makes me very proud.
It has been mainly a team-job. I couldn’t have reached such a great result alone, without the indispensable collaboration of the ones who day-by-day are committed to working with us and for us.
Firstly, my heartfelt thanks goes to all of GemmeCotti’s collaborators’. All the employees and personnel have achieved this important success with passionate dedication and enthusiasm for the work and the company. Your attachment to GemmeCotti and your spirit of collaboration are inestimable.
I dedicate a special thanks to all of our partners and suppliers. If we achieved this great result, is also thank to your precious contribution and your tight cooperation. You always do your best in order to satisfy our production needs and you always work close to us sharing your know-how, resources and ideas.
I also wanted to thank all of our customers for choosing and trusting us. We often find good friends and valuable partners in our customers. With your support, you allowed us to celebrate this 25th anniversary and I’m sure that you’ll still rely on us for your business necessities.
Last but not least, I would like to thank anybody who, in some way, decided to support us in these 25 years. Thanks to all of you for your contribution, big or small.
I firmly believe that with our commitment and your collaboration we can meet and celebrate many others “birthdays” together.
Thanks!”
Enrico Gemme
Managing Director GemmeCotti srl
This year GemmeCotti celebrates its 25th anniversary! It’s an important milestone for our company, that since 1992 has been supplying high quality chemical pumps for acids and dangerous liquids to the customers, which operate in many different industries.
Today we boast a leading position in the market of chemical pumps thanks to our wide range of products in addition to the professionalism and reliability of pumps and services.
This goal has been achieved thanks to the constant dedication that our team put day after day in the work, which allowed GemmeCotti to celebrate this important anniversary.
This 25th “birthday” encourage us both to recall our past successes and winning choices and to set new ambitious and challenging goals for the future to come.
Last but not least, we take this opportunity to thank all our suppliers and partners for their valuable collaboration and contribution during these years and our customers for always choosing GemmeCotti.
A good sales service for a chemical pump company does not depend only on how the sales office or the customer service interact with the client but many more factors plays an important role on the satisfaction of the customer. We can say that all the pump factory management has an impact on the sales process but one of the factors which has a direct impact on the customer is the warehouse management of pumps and spare parts.
Having an organized and well managed warehouse is the first step for a good service to the customer from the first quotation to the supply of spare parts for the pump maintenance. As a matter of fact, if the stock situation is clear it is possible to indicate in all the quotations precise delivery dates so that the customer can correctly schedule the pump installation. After plac
ing order, the customer can be informed step by step about the status of the pumps, if the pumps are ready on stock or if the delivery can take some days. Moreover, it is essential to have the main spare parts always on stock in case of urgent orders of pumps or spare parts for maintenance and repair, in this way the customer can receive the products quickly and avoid useless long plant shutdowns.
GemmeCotti pays great attention to the aspect of the warehouse management but many companies ignore this part because it is considered a waste of time. This choice can seem true on a short period of time, but in the long run there will be many problems with consequent bigger waste of time to solve issues caused by a poor management. If a company wants to develop, the warehouse management is really important because, in addition to the positive aspects for the customer, it avoids excessive capital being tied up, optimization of the available space and on the long run a cost reduction.
First of all it is necessary to codify all the parts and keep tracks of the quantities. Then the parts should be rationally organized to make the management more rapid and effective, in addition to the obvious space optimization and cleanliness.
Once the warehouse is well organized it is also very important to keep the everything in order. To do so, a software can help the management of the stock but it is important to choose the right software in accordance with the real needs of the company in order to get more benefits.
The warehouse management in GemmeCotti has recently being checked and improved for an even better service to the customer and a bigger pumps availability on stock. If the customer is in urgent need for a chemical pump, we are ready to satisfy him in no time.
“Quality” is a key word for GemmeCotti, this is why we are an ISO 9001 certified company since 2007. Recently our Quality Management System has been updated to the new ISO 9001:2015, making us one of the first companies in Italy to be certified to the new quality standards. This is a clear proof of our dedication to constant improvement and desire to offer high quality service and products.
GemmeCotti is constantly becoming more and more efficient and the customer satisfaction is always our strong focus. With the main desire to meet customers’ expectations and offer them the best support and top-level products, we aim to continuously improve every business process: from the technical and production department, to the marketing and sales office.
Every aspect is developed and organized so that the company can be competitive and flexible on the pump market and can maintain the position of leading supplier of chemical pumps.

For more than 20 years we have been pursuing one main goal: design and produce magnetic pumps which meet the customers’ needs. That’s what drives us and makes us world-leader in the field of chemical pumps. So what are the characteristics of GemmeCotti pumps which make them unique and so appreciated by customers the world over?
1- Wide range of pumps among which the customer can choose. We have more than 400 pump variations so that we can always offer to the customer the right solution for his application. Each pump is customized according to many variables:
2- High quality pump materials. It’s important for us to offer the highest quality possible that’s why we choose only the best materials (Polypropylene, PVDF and AISI316) which can resist corrosion and which are suitable to pump almost every existing chemical. You can check out our chemical compatibility chart for more information and to select the right pump material for your application.
3- Best pump design for pumping chemicals. Magnetic drive pumps have a simple sealless design which is the ideal solution when handling chemicals and acids. The hydraulic part of the pump is hermetically closed so there is absolutely no leakage and emission of fluid. This is an essential characteristic because mag drive pumps guarantee safety for both workmen and the environment. Moreover the absence of any seal makes the pump highly reliable eliminating the maintenance and repair costs.
Typical pump design: The external magnet of the pump is placed on the motor shaft and when rotating it transmits the motion to the internal magnet thanks to the magnetic attraction of the two joints. The internal magnet is connected to the impeller which spins and moves the fluid through the pump. The external magnet and inner magnet are separated by a rear casing that creates a hermetic containment of the liquid that has no access to the outside.
4- Chemical pumps completely Made in Italy. We are an Italian manufacturer and we are proud to offer high quality pumps designed, assembled and tested directly in our workshop. The pump parts are made and machined by our Italian suppliers all located near our factory. So, for us, suppliers play an important role in the resulting quality of the pumps. That’s why we choose and qualify them through a strict qualification process and we keep a close relationship with everyone in order to assure the highest quality of each pump part and consequently of the complete chemical pump assembly.
5- Every pump is checked and tested before delivery. What is the best way to assure the pump quality than try it personally? We perform rigorous tests during the whole assembly process according to ISO9001 based quality control standards. That is not all. We want to achieve zero defect rate, which is why we test every single pump at our test bench before delivery to our customer to check both the performances and the correct functioning.
6- Chemical pumps suitable for many applications. GemmeCotti industrial pumps can be used in various applications where chemicals, acids, dangerous liquids are involved, such as: chemical industries, waste water treatments, galvanic industries, surface treatments (zinc-plating, silver-plating, coppering galvanic treatments, chemical nickel plating) in machines and equipment for the printing industry, in machines for tanning industries, for printed circuit boards production, in scrubbers, air treatment plants, petrochemical and oil & gas industry, for biofuel handling, in textile industry, food industry and in bottling machines. Moreover GemmeCotti mag drive pumps can be used also for pumping salty water and water containing detergents.
