About us
Our company
We are the go-to company
in the world of industrial gaskets
Our deep roots give stability to our open and ambitious entrepreneurial outlook!
It all began in 1977 when Francesco and Mario Polini founded the company, inspired by their typically Bergamasco entrepreneurial intuition.
Today, with the second generation of the family at the helm, we are the no.1 reference point for industrialgaskets around the world, both for first-time use and replacement parts.
This has been made possible thanks to the people in World Gasket Ellegi‘s large family, who, with their professionalism, are key to the company’s success.
Growth and strategic development
Our goal is to best meet our customers’ needs by providing comprehensive and reliable service. For this reason, we have separated the management of our products over two locations.
The operational headquarters, in Grumello del Monte, houses the administrative offices, the production department and the research and development laboratory. Here we make a wide range of rubber and thermoplastic products for various industries.
The logistics headquarters, located in Castelli Calepio, houses the laboratories and a warehouse of more than 20 thousand square meters, where we store our products. Thanks to this facility, we are able to guarantee high product availability and quick delivery service to customers all over the world.

Ellegi is founded and, since its debut on the market, has offered a full range of products made with all kinds of elastomers and thermoplastic materials. We start our business in Italy, before entering important new markets such as the Middle East, America and Africa.
We created the WORLD GASKET brand which identifies the new range of alternative items to OEMs dedicated to the earth moving machinery industry.
Innovation and continuous technological research into production processes enable us to achieve quality certification from Dekra and thus to apply the ISO 9001 Quality System to all our production cycle.
We renew our visual identity to consolidate the idea of efficiency and professionalism acquired over time and to face the markets and challenges of the future with new momentum.
We consolidate the value of our brand through a unique, strong and distinctive brand identity.
We reach approximately 11.000 square metres of warehouse space: a key asset to ensure fast and timely supply of the entire product range.
We continue to invest in our future by integrating a new facility for the manufacture of liquid silicone parts.
