In our people’s words

``Cefla was founded in Imola in 1932. From its beginnings with just a few people, the company now has some 1,800 employees.

These values have guided us since 1932... and remain our inspiration for the future.``

``How did we get here?

In the value of doing things together. Because, in Cefla, sharing multiplies results.``

``Cefla has overcome nine decades of challenges to become what it is today because it has constantly evolved and remained faithful to its mission of creating value.

In closeness to the local community. Because the ties with our origins give us the strength to make stunning achievements.``

``Cefla has never lost sight of its dreams… or its idea of progress.

Thanks to these guiding principles, we’ve handled the complexity, uncertainties and difficulties of doing business, without ever veering off course.``

``The passion for our work, Because whatever the mind invents, it only becomes truly great with heart.

We’ve never forgotten where we come from, our identity. We’ve always believed in our values.``
