CPS

What CPS does

CPS Company s.r.l. is an Italian industrial packaging machinery manufacturer headquartered in Casalecchio di Reno, Bologna, and operating as the flagship entity of the Cassoli Group. Founded in 2002 and continuing a family heritage in packaging machinery dating to 1964, the company designs and builds primary and secondary packaging equipment — wrappers, bundlers, case packers, and palletizers — primarily for the tissue/paper products and personal care/hygiene industries. Its product portfolio is organized into five series (MOSAIC Technology with variants Nadir/Quantum/Chimera/Zenit, Wrappers Series 200, Bundlers Series 400, Case Packers Series 600, and Palletizers) underpinned by patented proprietary technologies including Active Pull, Full Servo, Revolving, Easy-Open, Reseal, PUSH-WRAP, and Case Technology, with selected bundlers integrating third-party ABB six-axis robotics for product handling.

CPS's technical platform is built around a modular architecture (MOSAIC) that enables progressive performance upgrades without full machine replacement, full-servo motion control for precision and rapid format changeover, and Industry 4.0 remote monitoring delivered at no additional cost. The company competes on high throughput (e.g., up to 25 cycles/min on the B452 bundler), short format-changeover times, and energy efficiency, with sustainability credentials supported by on-site photovoltaic generation covering 70% of facility energy needs and 90% industrial waste recovery.

The business model is direct enterprise B2B sale of customized, quote-driven capital equipment, typically contracted on multi-year terms and including installation and after-sales support. Go-to-market relies on a field sales force with dedicated regional Business Development Managers (notably for the Americas), supplemented by international trade-show presence at INDEX, MIAC, and EMPACK, and distribution synergies through Cassoli Group siblings Ecocap's and Nema Automazione. The company is privately held by the Cassoli family with no disclosed institutional investors; revenue and order-book figures are not publicly reported.
