Cremona Inoxidable

What Cremona Inoxidable does

Cremona Inoxidable S.A. is an Argentine industrial manufacturer, founded in 1905 and headquartered in Buenos Aires, that designs, engineers, fabricates, and commissions custom stainless steel (AISI 304L) equipment and integrated systems for the food processing industry — with a primary focus on meat, cooked sausage, and molded-product plants. The company operates under the Creminox trade name in international markets and exports to distributors across Europe, North America, Central America, South America, and Africa. Its installed base includes multi-mold tower systems, water-based automatic cooking and cooling lines with PLC automation, and demolding solutions ranging from manual suction-cup devices to robotic systems integrated with KUKA industrial robots.

The core product architecture is the Línea de Cocidos (Cooked Products Line), built around proprietary multi-mold towers with spring-loaded compression mechanisms, M-folded reinforced molds to prevent deformation, and adjustable pressure springs designed for uniform cooking and cooling across high-volume production runs. Cooking and cooling are delivered through water-recirculation thermal systems with internal heat exchangers, direct steam injection, 80 mm polyurethane-insulated walls, and inline filters, all managed by PLC controls with touchscreen HMIs, recipe storage, operator codes, and HACCP batch data logging. Complementary offerings include automated deboning lines (DC100) for pork, beef, and poultry; tilting and lifting machines (EV 300, VM 300, V 500, VU 1400, EVU 1800); conveyor transport; an Automation & Robotics category that extends into palletizing and end-of-line packaging; and an Equipo Complementario line of carts, platforms, hygiene stations, drainage, and custom stainless steel furniture. Manufacturing is carried out in-house using programmable waterjet cutting, robotic welding, and stainless steel shot polishing.

Revenue is generated through one-time capital equipment sales of custom-manufactured industrial machinery plus professional services for installation, commissioning, operator training, and post-sale technical support. Distribution follows an enterprise field-sales model: direct sales and field service within Argentina — where complementary equipment is restricted — and a global distributor channel for the core cooked-products and integrated lines in international markets. Marketing leverages industry exhibitions (AMI, IFFA, TecnoFidta and regional fairs), a YouTube demonstration channel, and the corporate website. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, consistent with custom-engineered industrial equipment sold under bilateral specification contracts.
