“Who Are We?”
Established on the shores of Lake Orta (Italy) in 1951 water has always been at the heart of our business.
Our products give life to water, in order to provide useful services and well-being to people. For this reason, our motto is: “WATER E-MOTION”. At home, in the office, at work and wherever water flows, is heated or is cooled - there is a Giacomini product.
In the future, buildings will be less of a "roof over our heads" and more places that are central to our health, well-being, personal and professional relationships, and the planet.
As such, they will become more than just buildings - they will increasingly become environments in which light, temperature and water will be used with greater intelligence and an increased sense of responsibility.
In such a scenario, our mission is to become the leading manufacturer of components and systems that use water to heat & cool the building, manage the consumption of drinking water and heat energy by individuals and extinguish fire. We want to achieve this with minimal impact to the environment.
Giacomini UK Ltd are an evolving business and we are promoting & delivering to market our range of innovative, market leading, best in class & energy saving dynamic balancing family product range along with our comprehensive valve product range.
We Are Giacomini and we would like you to be part of our story.
