2006
The year 2006 when Walcom® presented its first version of GENESI, the finishing spray gun that would offer the bodywork world with a modern, reliable, efficient, quality and ecological way of working.
Five years later GENESI’S features allowed the Walcom® brand to further assert itself on the increasingly more difficult international bodywork market, that rewarded it as one of the worlds best spray guns in the professional range.
2002
Release of GEO the highest performance and most efficient HVLP spray gun system on the market. The patented GEO nozzle, thanks to its particular goblet shape, meets the stringent HVLP California ecology regulation nr. 1151 SCAQMD (South Coast Air Quality Management District) and guarantees a peerless level of paint atomization, exploiting the double atomization principle: the first in the 6-hole nozzle goblet, the second outside the air cap. Thus it is an HVLP spray gun that can achieve excellent finish levels with all types of new generation bodywork paints and thus recommended for water (and solvent) bases and all types of transparent.
1996

Lucia di Piave (TV) and Calcio (BG) facilities, thus offering the market a strictly MADE IN ITALY range of products.
