he origins of the multinational Epta Refrigeration Group are endowed with the inspirational and entrepreneurial skills of its founder, Luigi Nocivelli. Following an apprenticeship in his father’s workshop, he established the leading electrical appliances company ‘Ocean’, and in the 1970s became the CEO of Ercole Marelli. It was not until the new millennium that he founded Epta. With Luigi Nocivello at the helm, Epta became a truly global player specialising in commercial refrigeration, and thanks to the strategic acquisitions of leading Italian and overseas brands Epta is able to offer a breadth of experience and product diversity that is unparalelled in the industry. Today the management of the global refrigeration group is in the capable hands of Marco Nocivelli, a second generation family member who continues with the well-established ethical values of the company. These include: Order, Humility, Delegation, Resilience and the Ability to let others lead. Today the Epta Group is in a strong position to build on its rich history of innovation, quality and customer care.
Innovation and diversity driving sales The Epta Group continues to expand its global business through a combination of strategic acquisitions and the development of many innovative technologies. Its core business is the manufacture of complete commercial refrigeration systems for multinational retailers. Epta offers an infinite range of solutions for the preservation and display of fresh and frozen food products. These advanced eco-friendly solutions are specifically designed to meet the needs of retailers who prefer to rely on a single multinational partner for their specialised, turnkey refrigeration systems. The company’s product portfolio is extensive and ranges from traditional refrigeration cabinets, positive temperature vertical and horizontal counters and plug-in cases, as well as medium and high-capacity systems and cold rooms. ‘Eptology’ is a term which has been adopted by the company to sum up its dedication to the promotion of sustainable development, which in turn is used to leverage the four pillars of its business: Experience, Efficiency, Excellence and Evolution. Today the Epta Group employs over 5000 people worldwide and in 2017 recorded sales of more than €850 million.
