MAGALDI

What MAGALDI does

Magaldi Power S.p.A. is an Italian industrial machinery manufacturer founded in 1929 in Buccino (Salerno), specializing in steel belt conveyor systems and bulk material handling equipment for extreme operating conditions. Its core technology platform is the proprietary Superbelt® steel belt conveyor, a patented multi-link overlapping design that enables continuous heavy-duty operation under high temperatures, abrasive loads, and corrosive environments. The portfolio extends from this core into specialized systems: the MAC® Magaldi Ash Cooler for dry bottom ash handling in power plants (recognized as Best Available Technology by EU regulators), the MADAM dry ash management system for waste-to-energy plants, and the MGTES fluidized sand-bed thermal energy storage system and STEM®-CST concentrated solar thermal technology targeting industrial decarbonization at 150°C-600°C.

The company generates revenue through three streams: (1) custom-engineered capital equipment sales (Superbelt conveyors, ash coolers, crushers, mixers, weigh feeders) sold via quote-based multi-year contracts; (2) aftermarket services and spare parts supplied through warehouses in the USA, Europe, and India, including multi-year O&M agreements; and (3) thermal energy storage system sales for industrial decarbonization. The go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales supported by wholly-owned regional subsidiaries in the USA (Alpharetta), Mexico, India, Germany, Australia, and UAE (Dubai), plus a network of 50 agents and representatives across 40+ countries. 85% of turnover is generated abroad, and the cumulative install base exceeds 2,000 projects. Customers include Novelis, Feralpi, Waupaca, and Millmerran Power Station, spanning aluminum recycling, steelmaking, foundry, and power generation verticals. The company invests 3% of annual turnover in R&D and holds approximately 400 patent applications worldwide.
