Italchimica closes 2024 with growing revenues and solid margins
(Padua, Italy) – Italchimica strengthens its position as one of the most dynamic industrial players in Italy’s cleaning, cosmetics, and disinfection sectors, closing the 2024 financial year with positive results that confirm the robustness of its business model and its ability to adapt to an evolving market.
Turnover reached €83.5 million, up by +5.41% compared to €79.2 million in 2023. EBITDA remained at excellent levels, standing at €17.5 million, with a margin of 20.95% on revenues. Net financial position remained positive at €21.3 million, slightly down from €23.2 million in 2023 due to strategic investments in capital goods.
“2024 marked the full recovery of margins, following the challenges faced two years ago due to sharp increases in raw material and energy costs,” reads the report approved by the shareholders’ meeting. “This result was made possible by a combination of increased volumes, cost normalisation, and effective operational management by the leadership team.”
“The 2024 results confirm Italchimica’s ability to combine financial solidity, growth, and a long-term industrial vision,” commented Alessandro Fioretto, CEO of the company.
Industrial Plan: New Production Hub and Doubling Capacity
In 2025, the company completed construction of a twin facility in the Padua industrial area (Via Maestri del Lavoro): 5,000 m² of highly automated space, scheduled to become operational in June 2026. This will increase Italchimica’s total industrial footprint to 30,000 m². Two new fully automated lines will be added to the ten already in operation, effectively doubling production capacity and improving the management of a portfolio comprising over 1,600 SKUs, spanning both professional and large-scale retail channels.
The new site will also house one of the largest storage facilities in Northern Italy, with 29 silos of 55 m³ for raw materials and 4 for semi-finished products.
ISO 14064 Environmental Certification: Measuring to Improve
As part of its ESG strategy, Italchimica obtained ISO 14064-1:2018 certification, attesting to the measurement of greenhouse gas emissions according to UN standards. The first GHG inventory, referring to 2023, reported 52,863 tonnes of CO₂ equivalent, 97% of which stemmed from indirect emissions (energy, transport, raw materials). This data now serves as the foundation for future impact-reduction strategies.
Automation, Organisational Efficiency, and Employee Welfare
Alongside technological development, Italchimica continues to invest in its people and workplace wellbeing. Ten new hires are underway in production and quality control departments. Internal logistics will be enhanced with the introduction of four robotic shuttles, while a rooftop terrace with green areas and a bar will offer employees a space dedicated to social interaction and wellbeing.
