Helios Automazioni

What Helios Automazioni does

Helios Automazioni s.r.l. is an Italian privately held manufacturer founded in 2001 and headquartered in San Salvo (Chieti province, Abruzzo) with a registered office in Mugnano di Napoli. The company designs, produces, and sells CNC machinery and proprietary CAD/CAM software for processing marble, granite, glass, metal, porcelain, and synthetic stone, targeting stone fabricators, memorial/funerary art shops, and architects/designers. Its portfolio spans 40+ machine models organized around bridge saws (Cut 500, H-series, Dea, Five, BravoCut, Seven), 3- and 5-axis machining centers (Futura, ZT, Zeus, Star, Evolution, Evo, Sink Master), polishing machines (Lux, Edge Lux), waterjet systems (HeliosJet, ZT Jet, Pro Cut XJ5), laser etching (Photograb LS family), sandblasting (Power), and the Integrated Linear System 4.0, complemented by in-house software (Galaxy Stone CAD/CAM, Run-Touch, Galaxy Pro, Galaxy Edge) and vision systems (Stone Vision with Vein Matching, PhotoScan). Defensible technology includes the internationally patented Robo-Move automated slab handling system, the proprietary Dynamic Pressure Control System, and Industry 4.0 certification across most lines.

Helios generates revenue primarily through direct hardware sales of industrial CNC machinery, configured to customer specifications and sold via quote-based pricing with multi-year support contracts and a 2-year full warranty. A secondary software stream comes from bundled proprietary CAD/CAM packages (Galaxy Stone, Run-Touch, Galaxy Pro, Galaxy Edge) developed in-house and licensed as part of machine sales. Go-to-market combines enterprise field sales from the San Salvo HQ, an international distribution network covering 80+ countries (with named regional partners such as Kermadi NV for Benelux), and sustained presence at flagship industry trade shows (TISE Las Vegas, Marmomac Verona, Coverings, Stone Poznan, SFA Tour).
