Since 1968, Cortem S.p.A. has been designing and manufacturing explosion-proof and weather-proof electrical equipment addressed to hazardous areas. Thanks to a continuous effort in technical innovation and improvement, it’s today a leader in this field, able to provide a whole range of products, meeting on-shore and off-shore applications.

Our wide range of lighting products is made up of lighting fixtures and floodlights suitable for all applications, such as lighting fixtures for tanks inspection, safety warnings and escape routes and hand‐held lamps. Our solutions offer a wide selection of lamps, materials and explosion‐proof methods of protection.

The peculiarity of the Technology Group Cortem, formed by Cortem, Elfit and Fondisonzo companies, is the experience gained in the Ex field which results not only in the furniture of simple Ex-products, but also in engineered and customized solutions. All our products are designed and manufactured internally according to different methods of protection such as ‘Ex d’ flameproof, ‘Ex e’ increased safety, ‘Ex de’ mixed and ‘Ex n’ no sparkling, using primary aluminum alloys, stainless steels and plastic materials that assure resistance and duration. The aluminum alloy used by Cortem has passed all tests required by EN 60068-2-30 Standard (hot/humid cycles) and EN 60068-2-11 Standard (salt spray test). All our products in aluminum alloy are protected by an epoxy coating RAL 7035. This treatment, only provided by Cortem Group, guarantees a durable protection.

90% of our production are located in the Oil & Gas sector both off-shore and onshore, but also in chemical, pharmaceutical plants and in all those manufacturing areas where the presence of explosive atmospheres may occur such as grain silos, woodworks and paper mills. We invest every year some of our resources to develop innovative products that meet the market needs and, for this reason, our R&D department studies the best solution valuating normative and market price issues, plant and security aspects.

With more than 30 agencies, 90 distributors, 7 partners and 3 production centers displaced, Cortem provides a local and qualified presence around the world. For Cortem “displacing” does not means transferring facilities, resources and know-how in low cost Countries, but replicating a successful model of industrial organization in which environment safety, product quality, compliance with standards, technical and after-sales services are the fundamentals of our corporate mission.
