About us
Cromo N.B. was founded on 10th january 1927 by Nino Basevi; later it was Basevi’s Son-in-law, Gianfranco Comincini, who continued the activity of the company, while today Cromo N.B. is led by the founder’s nephew, Federico Comincini.
In 1988 the seat of Cromo was transferred from the historical headquarters situated in the centre of Milan, to Bareggio, in a more modern and more functional establishment.
