Kimia

Kimia was founded in Umbria in 1979 with the dream of combining the conservation of the building heritage with the need to find effective solutions to guarantee the safety of people and living spaces. In a territorial context characterized by a high seismic risk, we began to develop, since the early 1980s, innovative products to protect buildings and infrastructures and solutions based on the construction tradition to restore the historical heritage.

The choice, in contrast to the trend for the time, turns out to be far-sighted: we anticipate by decades the current needs for sustainability and reduction of land consumption, acquiring a without equal knowledge in the field.

In 1984 it became the first Italian company to introduce composites for structural consolidation and among the very first in the world to develop waterproofing resins and highly compatible mortars for monumental restoration. In the structural field, the most significant work is the consolidation of the Sanctuary of Rivotorto, in Assisi. In the same years we also participated in the reconstruction of the Basilica of San Francesco d'Assisi. 20 years later, our contribution was fundamental for securing the entire historic center of Norcia, destroyed by the 2016 earthquake.

Today Kimia is a point of reference in the sector, demonstrated by its participation in interventions on world-famous assets.
