Zilmet is a story of family, passion and commitment. It all began in Padua in 1955, when Ugo Benettolo and his brother founded “Officine F.lli Benettolo”, a company dedicated to the processing of ferrous metals for various industrial sectors.
Ugo Benettolo was a visionary man, who had the intuition to transform his workshop into a leading company in the production of expansion tanks and heat exchangers.
In 1965, the company already had 160 employees and had decided to move to Limena, near Padua. The new headquarters was more spacious and allowed for the expansion of production.
The second generation of the Benettolo family, led by their son Paolo, has brought the company to a new level of success. The commercial network has been expanded in Italy and abroad, reaching Europe, Asia and North America.
Another key success factor was technological innovation, which made it possible to increase production and quality efficiency. The company has also created a customer-focused technical department capable of providing customized solutions.
Today, Zilmet is an international company with over 500 employees and an annual production of 8 million pieces. The company has branches in Italy, France, Germany, Great Britain, the United States and China, and a total production area of 150,000 m2.
Zilmet is a company proud of its history and values. The company is committed to providing its customers with high-quality products and services, and contributing to the sustainable growth of the economy.
The company grows under the leadership of Paolo Benettolo, son of the founder Ugo, who inherits his father’s entrepreneurial and innovative spirit. Paolo understands that to compete on the market it is necessary to diversify the offer and adapt to customer needs. For this reason, it develops new product lines, such as hydropneumatic tanks, solar collectors and boilers.

Paolo doesn’t stop there: he has the ambition of taking Zilmet beyond national borders and making it an international point of reference in its sector. Thanks to its ability to create lasting relationships with reliable business partners, Zilmet expands in Italy, Europe, Asia and North America.
