Gemmecotti European Pumps

Based in Italy, GemmeCotti S.r.l. has operated as a designer and manufacturer of chemical pumps since its establishment in 1992. Founded by Enrico Gemme and Marino Cotti, the company manages its entire production cycle—from research and development to assembly and testing—at its headquarters in Ceriano Laghetto. The firm specializes in creating fluid handling solutions specifically engineered for corrosive, hazardous, and difficult-to-handle liquids. The company’s relevance to the maritime and offshore industries is defined by its focus on material durability and leak-prevention technology. Marine environments present unique challenges for equipment, primarily due to the constant presence of corrosive seawater and the need for chemical dosing in onboard systems. GemmeCotti addresses these sector-specific requirements by utilizing high-grade thermoplastics, such as polypropylene and PVDF, alongside metallic alloys like AISI 316 stainless steel. These materials allow their pumps to withstand the aggressive nature of salt water and chemical additives used in ballast water treatment, desalination processes, and scrubber systems. A central element of the company’s engineering approach is the utilization of magnetic drive technology. By eliminating mechanical seals, this design prevents the leakage of fluids, significantly reducing environmental risks and maintenance requirements on vessels and offshore platforms. This containment capability is particularly critical for maritime operators who must adhere to strict safety and environmental regulations regarding chemical discharge and fluid handling. Through a global network of distributors, GemmeCotti supplies these specialized pumping systems to international markets, supporting industrial operations that demand high reliability in the transfer of acids and dangerous fluids.
