What MT Marchetti does

M.T. S.r.l. (MT Marchetti) is an Italian manufacturer founded in 1972 and headquartered in San Giovanni in Marignano (RN), specializing in the design and production of static and driven toolholders for CNC turning centers. The company operates from a single 9,000 sqm production facility and offers more than 13,000 catalogued toolholder models covering all major CNC lathe brands — Mazak, DMG-MORI, Okuma, Citizen, Nakamura Tome, Tornos, Tsugami, DN Solutions, Biglia, and others — across VDI, BMT, and OEM-specific turret interfaces. The portfolio spans static toolholders, multiple-output driven toolholders, and a family of advanced modules including adjustable-angle, broaching, gear hobbing, power skiving, slotting, steady rests, and electrospindles, supplemented by mechanical machining services for third parties and a multi-brand repair and overhauling service. The company releases more than 500 new products per year and ships standard orders within five working days worldwide.

The technological centerpiece is the MT-DCM (Digitally Connected Machining) platform, which integrates mechanics, electronics, and sensors into CNC lathe tooling. Its sub-modules include MT-SmartForce (onboard sensor monitoring of tool presence, breakage, and wear with CNC-integrated anomaly detection and machine-stop logic), MT-SmartLife (NB-IoT predictive maintenance with direct cloud telemetry and a remote dashboard), MT-TPS (touch probe protection for in-process measurement), MT-DCY (Bluetooth-connected add-on Y-axis), MT-DCB (automatic adjustable-angle B-axis), and the X11 electrospindle (up to 60,000 rpm with onboard power generation). Several of these are subject to patent protection, alongside proprietary processes such as ceramic coating on output shafts and the MTSK quick-change system.

The business model is project-based B2B manufacturing with non-public, quote-driven pricing. MT sells directly from its Italian headquarters and through wholly-owned subsidiaries in Japan (M.T. S.r.l. JAPAN, Osaka, 2019) and Russia (M.T. Ltd, St. Petersburg, 2012), plus exclusive national dealers in the Netherlands, UK, Austria, Sweden, Germany, USA, Belgium, and China. Customer verticals include aerospace (AS9100D/EN9100:2018 certified precision parts), capital equipment OEMs in packaging, ceramics, processing and plastics, automotive, planetary gearbox manufacturers, food & beverage equipment (MOCA-compliant), and CNC machine shops. The company is controlled by holding company MTH S.r.l. and has been led since 2016 by Managing Director Gianluca Marchetti, son of founder Terenzio Marchetti.
