The management and all the employees of the POLIFIN companies – GEWISS, CHORUS LIFE, COSTIM, CHORUSTYLE DESIGN – mourn him, moved by the pain of his family members, in the memory of this unforgettable and visionary entrepreneur.

His entrepreneurial vision, his innovative spirit and his vocation for excellence will forever represent an example for all of us and will guide us in the pursuit of future GEWISS successes with equal passion, determination and conviction.

Born in Alzano Lombardo (BG) on 3 December 1933, Domenico Bosatelli founded Gewiss in 1970 on the revolutionary intuition of using technopolymer in electrical systems. Thanks to an entrepreneurial vision focused on development as a constant in management and innovation, he led the company to international success, with over 1,600 employees and a presence in more than 100 countries around the world.

He also created CHORUS LIFE, a city model for the third millennium to revitalise the suburbs, placing the quality of life and well-being of the person at the centre. These values and themes are also a reference for the new business project CHORUSTYLE DESIGN.

In 2003, he received an Honoris Causa Degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Bergamo.

In December 2021, he received a Civic Merit from the Municipality of Bergamo.

During his entrepreneurial career, he also held national and international positions, actively contributing to the growth and development of the electrotechnical sector.
