WAMGROUP

What WAMGROUP does

WAMGROUP S.p.A. is a privately held, family-controlled Italian industrial equipment manufacturer headquartered in Modena, Italy, recognized as the global market leader in screw conveyors and a leading supplier of bulk solids handling and processing equipment. Founded in 1968 and governed by the Marchesini family, the company operates 20 manufacturing plants and a wholly-owned distribution network of more than 60 trading subsidiaries across over 40 countries, supported by a workforce of over 2,500 employees and a portfolio of over 300 international patents. The offering is organized across six core sub-brands: WAM (screw conveyors, dust collectors, valves and flow interception), MAP (industrial mixing technology), EXTRAC (extraction and discharge equipment for bags, big bags, hoppers, bins and silos), SAVECO (municipal and industrial wastewater treatment plus biogas solutions), TOREX (powder and granular material handling), and FLITECH (helicoid flighting and augers).

The company's technology stack is grounded in mechanical and process engineering for powders and granular materials—conveying, feeding, dosing, filtering, mixing, separating, and intercepting bulk solids—augmented by in-house testing facilities and the private WAMGROUP Technology Centre dedicated to R&D in bulk solids handling and environmental technologies. Adjacent to R&D sits the Archimedes Academy for workforce and customer training.

WAMGROUP generates revenue primarily through direct B2B sales of engineered industrial equipment, with project-based, quote-driven pricing and no public list pricing. Distribution is exclusively through the company's own subsidiary network rather than third-party resellers, providing localized engineering support and aftermarket spare-parts availability that produces recurring service revenue from the installed base. Customers span nine primary verticals: construction and building materials, food and animal nutrition, plastics and chemicals, mining/quarrying/minerals, environmental and water treatment, glass processing, metalworking, battery production, and recycling. Consolidated sales turnover stood at €380 million in 2024, off a 2023 peak of €408 million.
