What Settima Meccanica does

Settima Meccanica Srl a Socio Unico is an Italian designer and manufacturer of high-precision, no-noise hydraulic pumps, founded in 1978 and headquartered in Milan with manufacturing concentrated in Cortemaggiore (Piacenza), Italy. The company operates two principal technology platforms: a portfolio of three-screw pumps (SM, SMT, SMT8B, SMT16B, SFO, FOTP series, plus SAE/NEMA US-market variants) serving lubrication, transfer, cooling, and filtration duties at low-to-medium pressures, and the patented Continuum® helical rotor pump family — invented by Settima in 2001 and protected by 20 international patents — which delivers high-pressure (up to 275 bar continuous / 300 bar peak) hydraulic power with elimination of noise and vibration at source. A third line, Triumflex®, provides modular configurability, while SMAPI and SMAPI NC serve API 676 compliant oil and gas applications, and the EHP/EHPS/R-EHP/HePTO family packages pumps with electric motors for electrified mobile machinery.

The business sells custom-configured hardware directly from Italy and through wholly-owned subsidiaries in the United States (Settima USA Inc., Franklin Park, Illinois, since 2015) and Asia (Settima Asia, Shanghai), complemented by an authorized Triumflex Assembly Center partner network covering Austria, Germany, Italy, Poland, Turkey, and the UK. Revenue derives from one-time industrial hardware purchases across at least 15 end-use segments spanning industrial (lifts and elevators, energy and power generation, oil and gas, plastic injection, presses, machine tools, marine) and mobile hydraulics (garbage trucks, agricultural machines, forklifts, electric and hybrid vehicles, mining, trucks). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Settima holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO/TS 29001, API 676, CE, ATEX, and ISO 8217 certifications, and is part of the Green Silence S.p.a. holding platform consolidated in 2024 alongside Motive and Spin under Xenon Private Equity sponsorship.

Core offering

Settima Meccanica designs, manufactures and sells hydraulic pumps — primarily three-screw pumps and the patented Continuum® and 4Q® Continuum® no-noise helical rotor pumps — for industrial (lift/elevator, oil & gas, energy, marine, machine tools) and mobile (garbage trucks, agricultural, material handling, mining, electric/hybrid vehicles, truck hydraulics) hydraulic applications. It also offers API 676 compliant pumps for the petroleum/petrochemical sector and electro-hydraulic motor-pump groups combining its pumps with electric motors. All products are designed and manufactured in Italy.

Product overview

Settima Meccanica is a designer and manufacturer of high-performance silent hydraulic pumps, established in 1978. The company's product portfolio consists of two main technology platforms: (1) Three screw pumps (SM, SMT, SMT16B, SMT8B, SFO, FOTP series and their SAE/NEMA variants SMAT, SMAT16B, SMAT8B, SMU, SMTU) for industrial applications up to 1160 psi covering lubrication, transfer, filtration, and cooling; and (2) Continuum® and 4Q® Continuum® helical rotor pumps - the world's first no-noise pumps for high pressure applications up to 300 bar. The product range also includes API 676 compliant pumps (SMAPI, SMAPI NC) for oil and gas applications, and electro-hydraulic solutions (EHP, EHPS, R-EHP, HePTO) combining pumps with electric motors. Additionally, the Triumflex® modular three-screw pump offers configurable configurations for diverse market requirements. All products are designed and manufactured in Italy with no-noise technology as the core differentiator.
