Pedrotti

What Pedrotti does

Pedrotti is a privately held Italian precision manufacturer of mold bases and mold components, founded in 1965 by Giuseppe Pedrotti and headquartered in Gavardo (Brescia) with a second production facility in Prevalle. The company operates through two principal entities — Pedrotti Normalizzati Italia Spa (components and accessories) and Pedrotti Meccanica Spa (standard and special mold bases) — across 25,000 square meters of combined production space with approximately 150 employees. Its core products span five lines: standard and custom mold elements (guiding pillars, bushings, ejector pins, cooling elements, date stamps), machined mold plates in 16 mounting configurations and 27 sizes, premium special steels (exclusive Italian distributor of Daido DHA-WORLD/DH31-EX and SSAB Toolox 33/44), the EJCR adjustable jet cooler system, and SBR/EPDM safety slabs. Manufacturing is built on CNC machining supported by CAD/CAM software, in-house stress-relieving heat treatment of 1.1730 steel, and tight dimensional tolerances enabling long-term interchangeability of plates and components.

The company serves four primary industrial verticals: automotive, plastic injection molding, die casting, and sheet metal stamping. Its revenue model is one-time sale of physical components and custom-machined parts, priced via quote through a direct sales office and an online configurator (shop.pedrotti.it) that also offers approximately 25,000 downloadable 3D/2D CAD models for engineering integration. Go-to-market combines a direct sales office, six regional Italian sales agents (Bergamo, Tuscany, Piedmont, Veneto, Friuli Venezia Giulia, Trentino-Alto Adige), and a 100+ global distribution partner network. Exclusive distribution rights for Daido Steel and SSAB Toolox products in Italy are a structurally important revenue stream and channel differentiator. The customer base is B2B industrial with no named logos publicly disclosed, suggesting a diversified mid-market buyer set concentrated in cyclical manufacturing sectors. Both production sites hold ISO 9001 quality management certification.
