Healthcare
Healthcare is a rapidly expanding sector, driven by the aging of the population — with the resulting growing need for assistance and rehabilitative care — by the evolution of family lifestyles, and by the limited supply of services that still exists in certain areas.
Founded in 2002 by CIR, KOS now operates in the fields of nursing homes for the elderly (RSA), functional rehabilitation, psychiatry, and acute care. It manages 145 facilities and about 13,700 beds, with an integrated range of healthcare and social-health services that extends along the entire care pathway. In Italy, it is among the leading operators in the sector and, since 2019, it has also been present in Germany with an expanding network.
The growing demand for services and the evolution of care models are making this sector increasingly central in European welfare systems. In this context, KOS aims to strengthen its position through the quality of the services offered, clinical innovation, process digitalization, and the development of efficient management models.
Automotive Components
The automotive sector is undergoing a profound transformation linked to the transition toward electric mobility, the technological evolution of vehicles, and shared mobility.
Founded in 1980 by CIR, Sogefi is among the world’s leading producers of suspensions and air and cooling systems for vehicles.
With a global presence and solid capacity for innovation, Sogefi is well positioned to respond to market challenges: in 2024, with the sale of its Filtration business, it reduced its exposure to products intended exclusively for combustion engines, while in the sectors where it currently operates it has developed advanced solutions — in particular in air and cooling systems — for both traditional engines and electric vehicles.
The market remains competitive and cyclical, but the focus on efficiency, quality, and environmental sustainability represents a strategic driver for future growth.
