ILCO began as an oil and lubricating grease manufacturer in 1945, founded by Francesco Cagliani, and later assisted by his brother Emilio. At the present time, most of the business is still owned by the Cagliani family and management is entrusted to the General Manager, Mario Cagliani.

The factory is nearly 5,000 square meters with a total area of nearly 14,000 square meters with storage tank capacity of nearly 1,000 tons. The output of our company in 2014 was nearly 15 million Euros. IlCO has a highly trained staff of twenty-seven employees.

As a manufacturer, ILCO specializes in the production of lubricating greases as a third-party provider for many oil companies and can list among its customers nearly all the biggest international oil companies.

ILCO’s current production includes nearly 500 different kinds of lubricating greases, managed and studied in it’s laboratory, with the most updated technologies available including: New generation viscometers, rheometers, IR, ASTM tests and a pilotplant which exactly reproduces the production’s reactors and which allows us to study new kinds of products and to control the raw materials.

Currently, ILCO has a modern grease production department, always up-to-date with its own innovative technologies with a production capacity of nearly 12,000 tons per year. This guarantees speediness and a capability to satisfy the needs and requirements of our customers for the approximate 6,000 tons per year produced and sold.

ILCO gives its customers complete service for lubricating greases, starting from formulation to final packaging. ILCO is able to manufacture 50-gram tubes, to a whole tanker both of oils and bulk greases.

We have modern facilities for production, filling, screenprinting, and for molding of our new grease cartridge model, with its own registered mark “Speedy Grease”.

To round out our business, ILCO also owns another company for the production of professional equipment for the use in greases, in particular pumping; also this equipment is studied and personalized according to our customer’s needs. The customization of the equipment is possible because we work with a graphic agency that analyzes and carries out the dedicated customization.

The synergy of internal grease production, packaging, printing, equipment and graphic capability makes ILCO a unique leader in this field. (All work is naturally managed according to ISO 9001:2008 procedures.)
