About us
IVI
A little bit of our history
ILMED GROUP has a history of 90 years and has developed into the current scale by the effort of four generations entrepreneurs.
Being part of ILMED GROUP, ILMED VENTILAZIONE INDUSTRIALE (IVI) Srl is situated in the North-West of Italy and is an Italian company that developed its activity starting 1996. We started as the main supplier of fans aimed for the cooling towers, and, during these years, we developed our own market becoming a well-known brand world wide for the entire industrial ventilation field.
At the beginning of 2000, the strong growth of the Asian market encouraged the top management to explore the opportunity to create, on the asian territory, a sister company; Ningbo Ivi Fans Co. Ltd was born. By using the italian engineering and convenient costs, the Ningbo Ivi Fans Co. Ltd has become an appreciated supplier for various companies in the Far East.

A new chapter in Cooling Excellence
Cofimco Expands Globally with the Acquisition of IVI
We’re excited to announce that Ilmed Ventilazione Industriale Srl (IVI) and its subsidiaries have officially joined the Cofimco family.
IVI is a well-established Italian manufacturer of axial fan systems, with production facilities in both Italy and China. With the support of our shareholders at PX3 Partners, this strategic acquisition significantly enhances Cofimco’s capabilities and reach in mission-critical cooling applications around the world —particularly in high-growth sectors such as:
- Data center Cooling;
- Marine;
- Power Generation;
“Integrating IVI into Cofimco enhances our ability to deliver innovative solutions and strengthens our position in key global markets,” said Andreas Coumnas, CEO of Cofimco. “IVI’s manufacturing footprint — with facilities in Italy and Ningbo, China — is a strategic complement to our existing operations in Italy and our expanding presence in North America.”
With nearly 40 years of experience and a strong presence in Asia, IVI brings valuable capabilities that align with our growth strategy. Together, we’re not just expanding — we’re elevating our ability to deliver high-performance, tailored solutions to customers worldwide.
This marks a major milestone toward our vision: to be the global partner of choice for every critical cooling application.
