What Sperotto does

Sperotto S.p.A. is a privately held Italian manufacturing firm founded in 1963 and headquartered in Sandrigo, Vicenza. The company operates two divisions: a poultry and livestock division designing, producing, and installing prefabricated steel buildings and integrated equipment (feeding systems ASTRA, FEEDY, TAKKY, and FLAT CHAIN; drinking systems JOLLY bell drinkers and NIPPLE lines; automated nests NYDO DUO and NYDO DOUBLE; and climate control systems), and an industrial steel-structures division supplying prefabricated hangars, warehouses, and steel structures to construction, energy, and oil & gas clients. Core technology centers on hot-dip galvanized IPE/ILS frames with ~500 g/m² zinc coatings, polyurethane/mineral-wool sandwich panel insulation, and a patented ASTRA F.L.D. (Feed Level Device) system enabling simultaneous central-winch feed regulation across pans.

The business model is project-based one-time equipment and building sales (covering floor rearing, cage rearing, free-range/organic systems, hatcheries, slaughterhouses, and livestock shelters for cattle, pigs, sheep, and horses), supplemented by after-sales service and spare parts. Go-to-market combines a direct regional sales-representative network across five Italian territories (Veneto, Friuli, Lombardia/Piemonte, Emilia Romagna, Toscana) with international distribution — most notably a wholly-owned Brazilian sister company (Tecnoesse) for South America — plus participation in industry trade shows (Eurotier Hannover 2024). Customers include Fileni Group (poultry), Saipem, Petromar, BONATTI (oil & gas), Strabag, Celio (construction), Alstom Grid, and Siemens EDF (energy). The company holds UNI EN ISO 9001, EN 1090-1, UNI EN ISO 3834-2, TUV, and UKRSEPRO certifications and ships products from a 13,000 m² covered Sandrigo factory to more than 40 countries across Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and the Americas.
