What Sisma does

Sisma S.p.A. is a privately held Italian precision machinery manufacturer founded in 1961 in Piovene Rocchette (Vicenza), operating with 101–250 employees across a headquarters, a secondary domestic office in Arezzo, and five wholly-owned foreign subsidiaries in the USA, Spain, Mexico, Germany, and Turkey. The company designs and produces four principal product lines: (1) automated gold chain production machinery spanning SPIRAL, FIGARO, CABLE, VENETIAN, and BALL chain variants with over 150 models developed since founding; (2) laser marking systems including the LOGO 200F for small ateliers, MODO MARK as a universal modular platform, and BSP/CSP PICO ultrashort fiber laser systems used in UDI-compliant medical device marking; (3) laser welding systems such as the LM-D manual series and SWT mold-repair welders including dual-spindle configurations; and (4) Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) 3D additive manufacturing machines (MYSINT 100 and MYSINT 200). Technical differentiators include the Coaxial Vision System (camera viewpoint coincident with laser optical path eliminating parallax), the Extended Plane software function for large-format marking, and Automatic Process Parameters for material-driven setup.

Sisma sells primarily through B2B enterprise field sales with a global distribution network of wholly-owned subsidiaries and authorized resellers, targeting vertical markets including jewelry and goldsmithing (its core heritage segment), industrial manufacturing (automotive, mechatronics, mold repair), medical and dental devices, premium eyewear, and watchmaking. Revenue mechanics combine one-time hardware sales of industrial capital equipment with recurring after-sales services (spare parts, remote and on-site support) delivered by a dedicated technical assistance team of over 30 professionals; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company's share capital stands at €1,040,000 fully paid, and ownership is held privately with no parent company.

Notable customer engagements include titanium lattice structures manufactured via LPBF for Rudy Project's Performance 40 limited-edition eyewear (100 units at €950/frame), Polymesh titanium straps with 1,693 selective-laser-sintered links for MING watches, UDI-compliant black laser marking deployment at Sofab Orthopédie that doubled production capacity, and bespoke titanium bicycle frames with Hi-Light Titanium Bicycles. The firm received the Pigafetta Award for Internationalization from the Vicenza Chamber of Commerce in December 2025, and its CTO is publicly recruiting AI talent for next-generation precision systems, indicating active technology pipeline investment.
