About Us

At the forefront since 1997

1997

Foundation

Garbo Servizi S.r.l. is founded, immediately pioneering the recovery of silicon carbide and polyethylene glycol—substances used in abrasive slurries for cutting silicon wafers for the photovoltaic and semiconductor industries.

1999

First pilot plant

In 1999, Garbo Servizi S.r.l. installs the first pilot plant for abrasive slurry recovery at a major silicon wafer manufacturer in Novara, Italy.

2000

SiC Processing is founded

A joint venture with a German partner leads to the creation of SiC Processing GmbH to scale the recovery technology to industrial level. The process proves successful and is adopted internationally.

2003

International expansion

SiC Processing expands operations across Europe, the United States, and China.

2006

Reorganization and birth of Garbo S.r.l.

After the joint venture ends, the company reorganizes: SiC Processing continues to handle abrasive recovery, while the new Garbo S.r.l. focuses on developing innovative technologies to regenerate other materials, such as glycols and PET.

2020

Growth and diversification

Garbo acquires PPT S.r.l., specialized in the commercialization of synthetic diamond powders, and boosts glycol processing capacity with a new distillation unit.

2023

Efficiency and commercial development

A new plant for abrasive slurry treatment becomes fully operational, designed to maximize efficiency and optimize consumption. Meanwhile, expansion continues in the commercialization of chemicals and plastics.

TODAY

Joint venture with Saipem
