GRUPPO COLINES® HOLDING has an established sales network all over the world with agents present on all five continents. The group’s main distinctive features are an undisputed reputation in the market, a highly-qualified technical department with above-average skills and a valuable and professional group structure allowing effective research & development, a problem-solving oriented approach and a ready after-sales assistance service.
COLINES® was founded in 1973 as Colinex by Mario Zorloni and Francesco Lombardini, who came from preceding experiences in the plastic sector dating back to 1966.
Over the years the company has performed its activity in the base of Nibbia (Novara) since 1978 and, later on, since 1987 also in the second facility of Malnate (Varese).
To cope with the increasing amount of work, COLINES® has further amplified the structure of Nibbia and in 2004 moved from Malnate to the new and modern premises of Azzate (Varese), focusing there the manufacture of lines for producing air bubble film, stretch film, multilayer blown film and magnetic gaskets for refrigerators.
The historic plant of Nibbia continues designing and manufacturing lines for cast PP film, barrier film, breathable and embossed hygienic film, as well as extrusion coating lines, high-productivity tandem lines for special coextruded films and for alveolar Bubble Guard® Board sheets.
A highly-qualified technical department with specialized skills, a valuable and professional company organization, an effective activity of research & development, as well as a swift after-sales assistance service are among the main distinctive features of COLINES®.
The factory of Nibbia has been working since 1998 with a certified quality management system now in compliance with UNI EN ISO 9001:2015.
The third premises of COLINES® was activated in Marano Ticino (Novara) in 2017, due to the company's needs to get more space after having dramatically increased the yearly turnover and production. The latest manufacturing facility of the group celebrated its first "birthday" hosting at the same time eight different production lines and in less than two years since it started being operational, already over 30 lines were built and tested in the premises before being shipped to their respective buyers.
Founded by Giuseppe Lavatelli, at the beginning of his cooperation with COLINES® , ELAV® has been operating in the field of industrial automation systems since 1980. The design activity starts from defining the automation-system aims and involves the full implementation of the circuit diagrams, as well as the control software for PLCs and Supervision systems (SCADA), designed for both line control and product quantity, quality and statistic supervision.
The ELAV® philosophy is aimed at considering the equipment able to create a product by only formulating the dimensional data and to supervise the quality during the production cycle.
Over the thirty years of activity, the company has acquired such a knowledge that allows confronting even the revamping activity of machinery equipped with obsolete control systems to make them reach state-of-the art levels.
Over the years ELAV® has constantly grown, developing the activity also in other fields, especially in the sector of cables, thus achieving an interesting mix of know-how, and finally joined GRUPPO COLINES® HOLDING in 2008, while maintaining its original diversified activity. ELAV® works with a certified quality management system now in compliance with UNI ENI ISO 9001:2015.
ELAV has been fully involved in Industry 4.0 – System integration for over 5 years: the company aim is to deliver and supply the best solutions for production’s control and management, in order to improve traceability and quality control.
In 2020 ELAV widened their venue, creating a brand-new production area for over 2100 sqm, in order to satisfy the constant and continuos production increase. At the beginning of 2021 ELAV started the new Mechanical Division (eMech), dedicated to the manufacture of extrusion lines for cables production.
