The beginning

How we started and where we are today

Kab-lem history starts in 1980 when Vincenzo Sammaruca, founds the company with two other partners starting with the production of wiring harnesses for automotive components.

The company grows operating with Fiat allied companies to produce wiring harnesses for air conditioning modules and lighting systems.

At the end of ‘80s the three sons of Vincenzo entered the company supporting its growth.

In 1990 the company moves from the little old Lab of San Mauro to Cambiano Plant with Manufacturing, Technological and Sales activities.

Starting from 2000, Kab-lem begins to create some partnerships with foreign companies. Thanks to the business growth and the progressive relationship consolidation, Kab-lem decided to completely acquire Moldova and Romania Plants and to establish a solid partnership with Tunisia suppliers.
