Comec is a leading company in the global landscape of machinery manufacturers for the automotive sector. We specialize in the production of machine tools and equipment primarily intended for the reconditioning of braking components, clutches, and engine parts.
BUILDING MACHINE TOOLS SINCE 1961...
The company began its activity in 1961 as a mechanical workshop for third-party processing, but the creativity and passion for technology of its founder, Engineer Bruno Carniel, led it, towards the mid-1960s, to the creation of the first combined machines for the reconditioning of cylinder heads, drums, and brake discs. Given the success achieved, he then decided to dedicate himself full-time to this new activity.
An important contribution to the development of Comec came in 1970 with the entry into the company of his brother Antonio, who brought his technical skills acquired in previous work experiences. The division of company roles and organizational cohesion have contributed to achieving new and more ambitious goals.
In the mid-1990s, Andrea Carniel, Bruno's son, also joined the company, starting his work experience in the production department. Here he gained important technical expertise and acquired a wealth of knowledge that proved very useful when he began to work in the sales office. The goal is now to reach new markets by managing an increasingly widespread sales network.
In the early 2000s, Enrico Carniel, Antonio's son, also began working in the company. Enrico focuses on the production side, with a modern and evolved vision of company management and organization. His intent is to make Comec a company that is increasingly cutting-edge and keeping up with the times. For this reason, starting from 2020, Comec focuses on integrating IoT logic into its flagship machines, thus improving operational efficiency, enabling real-time monitoring, and offering customized solutions for our customers.
This transition to Industry 4.0 allows Comec to quickly respond to market needs and optimize production processes.
In 2024, the expansion process of the production plant was completed: new spaces, departments, and machinery were introduced with the aim of improving production capacity.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT FOR CONTINUOUS INNOVATION
In line with the continuous evolution of transportation means, Comec continuously invests in research and development. With the introduction of IoT logic, we open up new frontiers to optimize the performance and connectivity of our machines.
TOTAL CONTROL OF THE PRODUCTION CYCLE
Comec products are entirely manufactured in our Porcia (PN - ITALY) plant, following a highly efficient mass production system. Thanks to the introduction of new state-of-the-art CNC machines, we can accelerate the production process, ensuring faster and more precise processing of components.
The technical department, equipped with advanced design systems, interacts with the prototype department to create machines that are easy to use and reliable over time. The production cycle starts with the processing of raw parts and continues through all essential phases, including painting, assembly, electrical wiring, and final testing.
This integrated approach allows us to maintain high quality standards, flexibility in managing emergencies, and availability of any model.
Our spare parts service is another important strength, highly appreciated by customers. Our automated warehouses house components for all models currently in production, as well as discontinued ones, ensuring deliveries to any destination worldwide. This commitment to innovation and efficiency sets us apart in the market and enables us to best meet the needs of our customers.

Comec has always prioritized exports, with over 90% of our machines sold worldwide. This extensive global reach is made possible by a well-established network of distributors and Area Managers. Furthermore, we have a presence in the United States through Comec Inc., based in Ohio, which oversees the American market. Comec's widespread presence in the global market is supported by continuous participation in industry trade shows, where we showcase our solutions and interact directly with customers. In this way, we strengthen relationships and identify market needs to provide innovative responses.
We maintain ongoing communication through key social media marketing channels, ensuring that our audience stays informed about products and updates. Comec offers continuous support and training on both machinery and digital solutions: this allows customers to feel confident about their purchase, receiving assistance in selection, installation, and after-sales service, including spare parts support. This proactive approach enables us to stay in touch with customers, providing them with the necessary information to manage their work in the best way.
