Who we are
The ECSA group comprising Emanuele Centonze SA of Chiasso (Switzerland) and ECSA Italia S.r.l. of Milan (Italy) is actively engaged in the international trading and distribution of chemical and oil products since 1913 and acts as a privileged partner between the producer and the customer.
The group currently employs approximately 250 persons.
The ECSA group's Central Headquarters and the main warehouse facilities are located at Balerna (Switzerland). The geographical position on the principal communications route between North and South Europe represents a competitive and privileged logistics location. The building of the central warehouses was completed in 2003 and ensures compliance with all the regulations currently in force with regard to aspects of quality, safety and environment and the rapid handling of goods. Handling operations are guaranteed both by road (1 km from the Motorway junction) as well as by rail with the Companys own rail link. The warehouses have a large storage capacity; the infrastructures enable mixing and batching of solid and liquid products.
ECSA Italia S.r.l. guarantees an excellent operating centre for distribution throughout Italy with its sales organisation and infrastructures (offices, shop and warehouses in Milan).
