Our history

1971

Success comes from responding to market demands.

This concept has been Veco’s philosophy since the very beginning, when Franco Formenti studied an innovative refrigeration system for a sailor friend, standardizing this solution for mass production with the company ‘3F of F.Formenti’.

1978

The brand Frigoboat was born, and shortly after, it became the company’s name. Carlo, Franco’s son and current CEO, joins the company.

1984

Frigoboat product range evolves in a wide selection of sophisticated products. Together with Carlo, the Climma brand starts its journey, and the company begins to produce marine air conditioning systems.

1999

The company becomes Veco S.p.A.

2020

Nowadays, at the third generation, celebrating our 50th birthday, the company remains a family ran business, with the same values, but with a new concept of growing  and evolving, creating innovative products and state of the art solutions.
