Our roots, leading us into the future
Our History is the story of the De Cardenas Family of entrepreneurs.
It all began in the 1920s with engineer Gianluca de Cardenas: a man with his eye on the future, the only representative in Italy of industrial fans from a famous American factory.
From that first intuition an entrepreneurial dream was born that took concrete form and led in 1975 to the birth of the first Decsa factory in Voghera. The mission? To design and build efficient and reliable cooling and heat exchange solutions.
In 2004, Nicola de Cardenas took up his father's legacy, guiding the company into a new phase of development, with a focus on sustainability, training young people and valuing people.
2022 marks another milestone: Decsa becomes part of the Cofinair Group, a major international company specializing in air treatment and cooling solutions. A synergy that allows us to bring our Italian expertise worldwide, strengthening our capacity for innovation and expanding our presence in the global market with increasingly sustainable, efficient and cutting-edge technologies.
With solid family values, a technological soul and a global vision, Decsa continues to grow in the industry, offering cooling solutions worldwide.
