Company & Ownership
Official materials identify Comac S.p.A. as the company behind the Comac professional-cleaning portfolio. Comac's privacy policy refers to a group controlled by Comac S.p.A., and Fimap's official privacy policy says Fimap belongs to that controlled group. The reviewed sources do not name a parent above Comac or disclose the exact direct shareholding chain, so Comac and Fimap remain separate legal entities even though the control relationship is disclosed.
Leadership
| Person | Role | Evidence note |
|---|---|---|
| Giancarlo Ruffo | Co-founder | Comac's official history says Giancarlo Ruffo and Domenico Accadia created Costruzione Macchine, shortened to Comac, in 1974. |

Product Portfolio
| Category | Positioning | Buyer relevance |
|---|---|---|
| Scrubber dryers | Walk-behind and ride-on floor scrubbers cover commercial and industrial cleaning duties across multiple machine sizes. | Match cleaning path, tank volume, floor type, brush system, battery, gradient and realistic productivity to the site. |
| Sweepers and street sweepers | Indoor and outdoor sweepers extend the range from compact facilities to heavier industrial and urban applications. | Verify debris type, filtration, unloading, traction, emissions or road approval and operator requirements for the exact configuration. |
| SELF.Y autonomous scrubber | SELF.Y is presented as a cobot floor scrubber for airports, supermarkets, offices, healthcare and other large spaces. | Require a live site trial covering mapping, obstacle behavior, edge cleaning, recovery, data access, charging and manual fallback. |
| Vacuum cleaners and single-disc machines | Supporting floorcare machines broaden the range beyond mechanized scrubbing and sweeping. | Confirm filtration, accessories, chemicals, electrical standard, consumables and local parts availability. |
Manufacturing & Channels
Manufacturing & Supply Chain
| Evidence | Scope | Buyer check |
|---|---|---|
| Comac's official history traces the business to Italian production of floor scrubbers beginning in 1974 and documents early production lines in the Verona area. | Company history and early Comac production, not every current model or component | Request the exact machine's manufacturer plate, production site, serial number, country of origin and conformity declaration. |
| The official SELF.Y page publishes model-level applications and technical material for the autonomous scrubber. | SELF.Y product family and the configuration offered in the destination market | Freeze hardware, software, safety options, battery, accessories and destination-market certification in the quotation. |
| Comac's product navigation separates scrubbers, sweepers, autonomous machines, vacuums and single-disc machines into distinct families. | Official portfolio taxonomy rather than a claim of one manufacturing route | Do not generalize one product family's origin or supplier arrangement to the rest of the portfolio. |
Markets & Channels
| Evidence | Scope | Buyer check |
|---|---|---|
| Comac publishes a worldwide contact route and invites companies to apply to become distributors. | Company-published international channel framework | Confirm the authorized distributor, importing entity, contracting seller and service territory for the destination market. |
| The SELF.Y page positions the machine for airports, supermarkets, offices and healthcare facilities. | Reference applications for SELF.Y, not guaranteed suitability | Conduct a supervised trial on the buyer's actual floors, traffic conditions and cleaning schedule before award. |
| Comac provides product-specific pages and downloadable documentation through its official website. | Published information available for named models | Archive the exact-market manual, parts list, warranty, software terms and compliance documents that govern the purchased machine. |
Competitive Position
World Clean Biz assessment: Comac competes as a broad Italian professional-cleaning equipment supplier spanning conventional and autonomous floorcare. Buyers should compare delivered configuration, local service capacity and lifecycle cost rather than relying on portfolio breadth alone.
