What Gauss Magneti does
Gauss Magneti S.r.l. is an Italian industrial equipment manufacturer headquartered in Brescia that designs, produces, and sells magnetic separation and lifting systems for industrial clients. The separation portfolio includes eddy current separators (standard ECS NV and the high-frequency ECSE HF variant), overbelt and plate separators, magnetic drums, filters, pulleys, ducts, and intensive-field magnetic rollers; the lifting portfolio encompasses electromagnetic lifters for scrap, billets, slabs, coils, bundles, plates, beams, and profiles, supplemented by permanent-magnetic and vacuum-based lifters and electronic control units. The underlying technology spans permanent magnets, electromagnets, and eddy current separation, including rare-earth magnetic technologies and integrated hydraulic generators enabling equipment to operate on mobile platforms without dedicated electrical wiring.
The company addresses four primary vertical use cases: recycling and waste management (separation of ferrous and non-ferrous contaminants in WEEE, automotive shredder residue, incinerator bottom ash, and plastics/rubber streams), steel and metal processing (lifting scrap, billets, slabs, coils, and structural profiles in mills and service centers), plastics and rubber industry separation, and construction and demolition material handling on excavators and mobile cranes. Revenue is generated through direct project-based hardware sales, with commercial engagement conducted largely at international industry trade shows (IFAT, Ecomondo, BIR, K Show, AISTech, WasteExpo, SaMoTer) and supplemented by authorized regional representatives in markets such as Spain; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed.
Gauss Magneti claims more than 50 years of operating history (consistent with a circa-1972 founding), a cumulative installed base of over 50,000 machines, and a fully paid share capital of €400,000. The firm maintains a lean headcount of 11–50 employees and operates as a privately held S.r.l. with no disclosed funding rounds, parent company, or external ownership. Marketing and lead generation rely on a multilingual website, trade show presence, LinkedIn activity, and published application case studies such as the Hubert Etter / Gruyère Energie biomass district-heating project in Switzerland.
