About Comefri
Comefri S.p.A. was founded in 1972 in Friuli-Venezia Giulia and specialises in the design, manufacture and worldwide distribution of centrifugal fans. The product range includes double-inlet and single-inlet fans, plug/plenum fans and axial fans in sizes 160 to 2000, including spark-resistant versions, explosion-proof motors and high-temperature designs for ATEX applications. Manufacturing comprises machining, welding, painting and assembly; materials include the stainless steels SS316L and SS304 as well as polyamide for impellers of the THLZ FF series. Custom fans are tested in the company's own AMCA-accredited laboratory before delivery. In addition to its headquarters in Magnano in Riviera, Comefri manufactures in Artegna and, with Comefri GmbH, operates a German production site in Altheim near Landshut, as well as further companies in the USA, UK, France, China and Turkey.
