Our La Spezia headquarters
1999 - Guarco and Euroguar merge into Euroguarco SpA. The new asset leads quickly the company into new operations, such as project engineering and technical assistance to pipeline, refinery and petrochemical projects. Today Euroguarco counts a number of important partnerships and agencies over the world. Euroguarco's product expertise and solid partnerships with leading manufacturers around the globe place the company in a unique position as a trusted single source for its customers in the oil & gas, power and water industries.
1995 - While extending its market leadership role in Italy, Guarco also expands its business to include complementary products such as valves, pipes, flanges and pipe fittings, and enters in partnerships with renowned manufacturers. The success of these efforts result in establishing a sister company, Euroguar SpA, to focus on international markets.
In 1975 - As the company grows, its name changes to Guarco SpA (acronym for the Italian words for gaskets and insulations). In the 1980’s, it acquires control of large manufacturing plants, becoming one of the first companies in Europe to offer a complete range of asbestos-free gaskets and insulating materials in addition to custom-designed metal products for the oil & gas industry.
1958 - A young engineer - Luciano Ghirlanda - establishes Commissionaria Industriale as a supplier of the local marine industry.
