A thirty-year history
World Painting® originates from the Gianfardoni family, which has been deeply rooted in the naval sector for years, working for the world’s most prominent Shipowners.
The demonstrated professionalism enables World Painting to position itself as the leading Italian company in naval and industrial preparation and painting activities.
The exponential growth over the years allows the company to enhance its technological capabilities and installation capacities, achieved through constant acquisition of cutting-edge equipment, shaping its remarkable know-how and solidifying its stance as a sector leader.
