What Prima Power does

Prima Power is a Turin-headquartered manufacturer of sheet metal working machinery operating as the primary brand of Prima Industrie S.p.A., a privately held Italian group since its March 2023 delisting under ownership of Femto Technologies S.p.A. The company designs and builds 2D and 3D laser cutting machines, CNC punching machines, combined punch-laser and punch-shear systems, panel benders, press brakes, robotic bending cells, flexible manufacturing systems, and LASERDYNE-branded specialized laser processing equipment for welding, drilling, and cutting. A proprietary software ecosystem spanning NC Express CAM, TULUS OFFICE production management, and the MyPrima customer portal wraps the hardware with programming, monitoring, and lifecycle service tools.

The company operates six manufacturing plants and R&D centers in Italy, Finland, the United States, China, and India, supported by approximately 1,700 employees globally and a base of more than 15,000 installed machines. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time capital equipment sales of custom-configured machines via direct enterprise sales offices across Europe, North America, Asia, and South America, complemented by distributors in Africa, Oceania, and additional Asian markets. Recurring revenue streams include service agreements, warranty extensions, spare parts, software subscriptions, and training through the Prima Power Academy.

Customer demand spans thirteen vertical segments including automotive and electric vehicles, aerospace, HVAC, electric cabinets, healthcare, food service equipment, energy, elevators, building equipment, yellow goods, white goods, mechanics and machinery, and steel furniture. Marquee customers include Epta Gruppo, Zhixin, Lojer Oy, Resteghini, Prática, Worksport, Proslat, Dringenberg, and WOOJIN PLAIMM. Reported group revenue reached approximately $640 million in 2024, with manufacturing expansion in Italy, Finland, and Pune, India announced in early 2026 to serve data center and automation demand.

Core offering

Prima Power manufactures and sells sheet metal working machinery, including 2D and 3D laser cutting machines, punching machines, combined punch-laser and punch-shear machines, panel benders, press brakes, and robotic bending cells. It also delivers automated manufacturing lines with material handling and storage solutions, supported by a proprietary software ecosystem (NC Express CAM, TULUS OFFICE) and the LASERDYNE specialized laser processing brand for welding, drilling, and cutting.

Product overview

Prima Power offers a comprehensive portfolio of sheet metal working machines and integrated solutions under a modular, platform-based architecture. The core product range spans laser cutting (2D and 3D), punching, combined punching/laser and punching/shearing, and bending technologies (panel benders, press brakes, robotic bending cells). These are unified under the Flexible Manufacturing Systems platform, which connects machines into automated production lines with storage solutions (Night Train) and material handling. The Software Ecosystem, centered on NC Express CAM and the MyPrima customer portal, provides programming and operational management across all machines. The LASERDYNE brand extends capabilities into specialized precision laser processing for welding, drilling, and 3D cutting in demanding sectors like aerospace. The overall architecture enables customers to start with individual machines and scale up to fully automated, unmanned production cells.
