Mozzanica’s 2025: a year of growth rooted in nearly forty years of history

Since 1987, we have successfully combined the flexibility of a family-run business with the operational strength of a multinational.

When the Mozzanica brothers founded our company in 1987 as a small, hands-on business specializing in the sale and maintenance of fire extinguishers, they could hardly have imagined that almost forty years later we would close out the year with over 20,000 hours of work on board cruise ships, 6,000 more maintenance reports than the previous year and an established presence across two continents.

And yet, the results achieved in 2025 show that the original vision to stand out in a high-risk sector through expertise and professionalism has not only been preserved, but strengthened over time.

 

Our early years: from a small, hands-on operation to steady growth

Our story is one of continuous, measured evolution.

Thanks to the constant commitment and professionalism of our founders, those first years were marked by rapid growth, driven by fruitful partnerships with both small companies in the sector and multinational players such as Wormald Italiana, Incom Brandschutz and CEA Estintori.

These collaborations allowed us to quickly strengthen our position in the market. A hands-on approach combined with the adoption of rigorous quality standards and a structured way of managing operations became our hallmark, enabling us to handle some of the most innovative fire protection systems of the time and earn the trust of a highly demanding client base.

 

Consolidation: UMAN and industry recognition

In the years that followed, our entry into UMAN, the Confindustria association representing manufacturers of fire protection equipment, was a natural consequence of our growth. The CEO Natale Mozzanica’s appointment as president for two consecutive terms, followed by a third as past president, represented industry recognition of a career dedicated to fire protection.

 

Expansion: from land-based systems to marine and Oil & Gas

Mozzanica’s active role in industry associations and its engagement with senior leadership of the Italian Fire Brigade and the relevant fire safety ministries has been made possible by the development of a strong management team that works alongside the ownership in strategic decision-making. This same team has enabled us to achieve our current industrial scale in land-based fire protection and to expand rapidly into the marine and Oil & Gas fire protection markets.

 

Where we are today

Today we operate from two main locations in Italy: our headquarters, covering more than 3,200 square meters, and a second site near Milan in Abbiategrasso, alongside our operational hub in Porto Sant’Elpidio in the Marche region.

In the United States, two locations have been established and are continuing to grow: a commercial office and a technical/operational hub in West Palm Beach, Florida, supported by a global network of strategic partners in Los Angeles, Dubai, Singapore and Sydney.

This allows us to guarantee 24/7 coverage. Yet behind this international structure, we have retained the same family-led way of working that has defined us from the start: fast decision-making, streamlined processes and personal relationships with every client.

 

The marine sector: excellent results in 2025

2025 closed with figures that confirm our solidity across all areas of the business. In the marine sector, where over the years we have obtained the RINA, ABS, DNV-GL and Lloyd’s Register certifications required to operate internationally, we delivered excellent results, completing 135 service interventions and logging more than 20,000 hours of work on board.

These figures position us as a reliable partner for major cruise companies and confirm our ability to operate effectively in complex, highly regulated environments.

 

Service activity: 6,000 additional maintenance reports

In our service activities for fire protection systems, we processed 6,000 more maintenance reports than in 2024, while our field technicians generated 11,000 requests for quotations.

 

New clients in strategic sectors

A 20% increase in service orders compared to 2024 confirms that our relationships with existing customers continue to grow stronger. We delivered new fire protection systems for some of the major companies in the logistics and chemical-pharmaceutical sectors, confirming our ability to attract high-profile clients in demanding markets.

 

Efficiency: 3% lower costs, same level of quality

One of the most significant results of 2025 relates to the optimization of our internal processes. We managed to reduce costs by 3% compared to 2024 while maintaining the same service offering, thanks to a reorganization of our warehouse that led to a 20% improvement in operational efficiency. This balance between cost control and quality reflects the methodical approach that has always guided our work.

 

Certified quality: ISO 9001 confirmed

We renewed our ISO 9001 certification with no non-conformities identified during the audits, while 95% of our suppliers were rated as good or satisfactory in terms of quality. These figures point to a well-established quality system and long-standing relationships across our supply chain, a distinctive feature rooted in our belief in long-term partnerships.

 

Our commitment to sustainability: 100 kW of photovoltaic power

The activation of a 100 kW photovoltaic system represents a further step in our journey towards environmental sustainability, consistent with the attention we have always paid to environmental issues. From our use of clean extinguishing agents such as Inergen, an environmentally friendly gas with a very low CO₂ concentration, to the responsible management of maintenance activities involving ozone-depleting F-gas systems, sustainability is an integral part of how we operate.

 

The team: 14 new hires and training

In 2025, our team grew with the addition of 14 new members, while we also implemented improvements to our human resources management software. The most significant investment, however, has been the collaboration we launched with leading secondary schools in northern Italy, a project that bridges education and the world of work and allows us to develop specific fire prevention skills early in students’ training.

 

The generational transition

Under the experienced leadership of Natale Mozzanica, now joined by his children Jordan and Stacey as part of an ongoing generational transition, we have continued to uphold our founding values of technical excellence, innovation, transparency and loyalty to our stakeholders, while adapting them to the challenges of an ever-changing market. As our company philosophy states, “The deep sense of belonging shared by our people and the contribution of each individual fuel the company’s ability to meet the demands of increasingly complex markets, while enhancing the Italian values of excellence, creativity and innovation.”

 

Digital presence: nearly 3,000 followers on LinkedIn

Over the course of 2025, our LinkedIn company page gained nearly 3,000 new followers, contributing directly to the acquisition of new customers. Our marketing activities generated tangible orders, demonstrating how even a B2B company operating in complex technical sectors can benefit from effective digital communication.

 

Financial consolidation at Mozzanica

On the international front, Mozzanica consolidated its relationships with leading international banks, optimizing budgets to support our strategic objectives and helping to close significant commercial agreements.

 

Mozzanica’s competitive advantage: a family-led multinational

What sets us apart? Our ability to combine the operational structure and expertise of a large organization with the decision-making agility typical of a family-run business. When a client in the marine sector needs urgent intervention on a vessel in a shipyard, there is no need to navigate lengthy bureaucratic processes: they can speak directly with the people making the decisions. When a complex system requires a customized technical solution, our design team can work directly with production and service. This agility in decision-making, combined with consolidated multidisciplinary expertise, allows us to compete with much bigger organizations while maintaining the close relationships with clients that large structures often struggle to guarantee. It is a delicate balance, one that requires a strong, shared company culture – the same culture that the Mozzanica brothers built over the years and is now being passed on to the second generation.

 

A look ahead to 2026

With new maintenance service contracts already signed for 2026, thanks to the trust built with our existing customers, we look ahead with the same determination that has guided us since 1987. International expansion, the digitalization of system management through patented solutions, and the development of cutting-edge fire protection technologies represent the key areas in which we continue to invest significant resources.

As our company philosophy puts it: “Those who live their present fully and draw value from their past will be able to chart the right course for their future.”

The results achieved in 2025 confirm that we are on the right path, combining the solidity of nearly forty years of experience with the enthusiasm of a company that still has much to build.
