Eighty years of craft, today’s machinery

epico.ch SA was founded in 2019 on the acquisition of Selleria Rezzonico in Locarno, a second-generation workshop with deep local roots. After a handover period with Mr Rezzonico we moved production to Riazzino: more space, better logistics and room for the machinery the work demanded.

Today the team is made up of qualified upholsterers and apprentices. We stitch on five Pfaff and Adler long-arm industrial machines, weld PVC by high frequency on a four-metre travelling bed, bend and roll stainless steel for bimini frames, and embroider on ten needles up to 30 × 27 cm. Nothing is subcontracted: what we design, we make.

We come to your boat

We work in every harbour on Lake Maggiore and our staff hold boating licences, so we can take delivery of your boat even on its mooring buoy. Our trailers carry boats up to around 11 metres and sports or classic cars up to 2,580 kg, on fully insured trade plates.

For aviation, our coordinated Ferry service lets us collect your aircraft anywhere in Europe.

Frequently asked questions

What does a made-to-measure boat cover cost?
It depends on the fabric (Stamoid, Planofil or Sunbrella), the area and the fixing system. Send the quote form and you will have a written price within one working day. A visit to take measurements on the boat is always required before we confirm.
Do you work outside Ticino?
Yes. We serve the whole of Switzerland and collect boats and vehicles on our own trailers. In aviation we operate across Europe through the Ferry service.
How long does a new bimini take?
Normally three to five weeks from measurement, depending on the season. Spring is busy — the sensible time to book is winter, while the boat is already in storage.
Do you repair covers made by someone else?
Yes: repairs, replacement of zips, LOXX and Tenax fasteners and reinforcement, whoever made the cover, as long as the fabric is still sound.
