What Ormamacchine does

Ormamacchine S.p.A. is an Italian industrial machinery manufacturer specializing in hydraulic presses (oleodinamiche) and complete pressing plants, founded in 1975 and headquartered in Torre Boldone in the province of Bergamo. The company operates five Italian production units with approximately 130 employees and an annual production capacity of around 900 plants. Its core technology spans hydraulic cold and hot presses, vacuum membrane presses, high-pressure composite presses (working pressures up to 200 kg/cm²), continuous-cycle pressing lines for sandwich panels, polyurethane panel pressing lines, and Solid Surface thermoforming equipment.

The product portfolio serves multiple industrial verticals. Woodworking is the legacy primary segment, offering cold presses, hot presses, membrane presses, through-feed pressing lines, bending presses, frame presses, edge and face gluing presses, embossing presses, and glue spreaders. The company has expanded into leather processing for automotive interiors and luxury goods (CVM, CVM ECO, and the patent-pending CVM-IR with infrared heating), composite materials and carbon fiber (PSA, CVM, NPC, PFH column-guided presses), polyurethane sandwich panels (PXE series with 1+1 and 2+2 motorized platen configurations), and Solid Surface thermoforming (DUPLEX, FVM presses plus FRA heating kiln). Named customers include Ferrari, Lamborghini, Louis Vuitton, Poltrona Frau, Lear Corporation, Dierre, Lamiflex, Novotech, and Politecnico di Milano.

Revenue is generated primarily through direct hardware sales of custom industrial press systems, priced via quote-based, multi-year contracts. Distribution combines direct enterprise sales from headquarters, a global trade-show-driven demand generation motion (JEC World, LIGNA, Xylexpo, SIMAC Tanning Tech, Automotive Interiors Expo, Aeromart Toulouse), and regional reseller partnerships such as Woodexpert in Romania, supported by institutional partnerships with the ICE Italian Trade Agency for aerospace. The company holds ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 3834-2:2021 certifications and maintains a multi-language digital presence across Italian, English, French, and Spanish.
