ICEL S.r.l., specialized in the design, manufacturing and marketing of plastic film capacitors since 1960.
ICEL S.r.l. has been part of the Widap group since June 2024.
ICEL srl is located in Castellanza, in the province of Varese, at about 25km from Milan Malpensa airport. The company’s facilities spread over an area of over 8000 sqm.
Founded in 1960, Icel s.r.l. is known worldwide as a manufacturer of high-quality plastic film capacitors. The company started as a small manufacturer, with no automation at all. Following the evolution of the market, Icel s.r.l. has now become a fully-automated business, able to manufacture high volumes of electronic components, yet maintaining top-class quality level.
The company grew in the consumer market, focusing on the supply of components for electronic appliances.
ICEL expanded into the telecommunications market, including low tolerance capacitors in its range of products.
Production mainly focused on power applications, expanding series and types of executions. With the construction of a new factory facility and the consequent introduction of new machinery, processes, information systems and technology, the automation level grew enormously.
The production area kept growing, integrating new testing areas and research laboratories. The company could then benefit from a complete and innovative data acquisition system, comprehensive monitoring, and detailed production and testing data. The ongoing improvement and innovation of the automated production lines and related innovative processes went on.
The majority of the shares of ICEL S.r.l. have been transferred to Widel Holding AG (Widap group), owned by Mr. Paolo Lo Nigro, effective June 21, 2024.
This transition marks a significant milestone for ICEL, as it will leverage Widap group's expertise and resources to accelerate its growth and achieve new milestones.
