On September 21st, the De Rigo Refrigeration Family Day took place—a special day to celebrate with all employees and their families the 60th anniversary of our company. This anniversary represents not only the celebration of a long entrepreneurial journey but also an opportunity to renew our commitment driven by passion, innovation, and a deep connection to the local area.
Founded in 1965 thanks to the intuition and entrepreneurial spirit of brothers Ennio and Walter De Rigo, the company has built a solid business, becoming one of the main reference points in the commercial refrigeration sector. That initial vision has grown into a significant industrial reality, still firmly led today by the De Rigo family, who follow it with dedication and foresight.
In his speech, President Ennio De Rigo recalled the early days:
“With my brother Walter, in 1965, we started this adventure with great confidence and passion. Seeing today how De Rigo Refrigeration has become a solid and well-known reality both in Italy and abroad is a great source of pride for me.
Behind every company, behind every success, there are always people. The strength is the family, and De Rigo is a big family, of which you all are a part!
These 60 years are not a finishing line but a new beginning. We will continue to grow, innovate, and look to the future with the same enthusiasm as when we started. And we will do it together, with the same tenacity and passion that have always guided us.”
Managing Director Paolo Zenatto stated in his address:
“Efficiency means staying competitive, quality means customer loyalty, and responsibility generates trust and enhances the company’s image. The combination of these three factors becomes a real competitive advantage.
De Rigo aims for sustainable growth: that is why we have started a path of investments in both innovation and corporate reorganization, to be increasingly perceived as a key player in our sector. We aspire to open new markets with quality and innovative products that we will present at EuroShop 2026.”
