What Tecnomatic does

Tecnomatic SRL is an Italian industrial machinery manufacturer founded in 1977 and headquartered in Azzano San Paolo, in the Bergamo (Lombardy) industrial cluster. The company designs and produces complete extrusion lines for plastic pipes, with a product portfolio organized into named families of extruders (Zephyr, Zeus, Vega, Atlas, Mizar, Ares), die-heads (Venus, Athena, Juno, Hera), and downstream equipment including calibration tanks, haul-offs, cutting units, and belling machines. The offering spans the full line from material loading through finished pipe stacking, delivered as integrated turnkey systems to industrial pipe manufacturers serving water/gas distribution, telecommunications ducting, agriculture, and mining end markets.

The technology stack is fundamentally mechanical and process-engineering driven: proprietary die-head geometry, extruder screw design, and integrated line control combine with PIPE 4.0, an Industry 4.0 software layer for line monitoring and process supervision. Recent product activity extends the line into higher-value multilayer pipe applications and into fiber-optic microduct production, while a 2022 workshop expansion and a 2022 partnership with BIAX PIPEPROJECT support scaling of manufacturing and commercial reach.

The business model is direct enterprise sales of high-ticket capital equipment under turnkey project terms, with no public pricing and no disclosed customer logos. Customers are industrial pipe producers globally, with stated reach across 97 countries. The company is family-run (CEO Diego Lupi) and is a member of AMAPLAST and CONFINDUSTRIA BERGAMO, reinforcing its anchor in the Italian plastics machinery ecosystem. Revenue is project-driven, with aftermarket and software (PIPE 4.0) representing an emerging layer on top of the hardware base.

Core offering

Tecnomatic designs, manufactures, and globally installs plastic pipe extrusion machinery including single-screw extruders (gearless and standard series), extrusion die-heads for monolayer and multilayer pipes, vacuum and cooling calibration tanks, and complete turnkey pipe extrusion lines for PE, PP, PVC, PE-X, PE-RT, PB, PA, ABS, RTP, corrugated, and microduct pipes up to 3000mm in diameter. Each project is supported by a specialized project management unit that delivers feasibility study, machinery planning, installation, start-up, training, spare parts, and after-sales service.

Product overview

Tecnomatic is an Italian industrial machinery manufacturer (founded 1977) offering a comprehensive portfolio of pipe extrusion equipment organized into four main product categories: Extruders (Zephyr, Zeus, Vega, Atlas, Mizar, Ares), Extrusion Die-Heads (Venus Monolayer, Venus Multilayer, Athena, Juno, Hera), Tanks & Calibration (Vacuum/Cooling Tanks, Calibrators), and complete Extrusion Lines. The extruders range from gearless high-performance models (Zephyr/Zeus) to specialized PVC processors (Mizar), while die-heads span monolayer helical spiral designs (Venus) to radial modular systems (Athena) and PVC-specific solutions (Hera). The company provides both standard production lines and custom turnkey projects for polyethylene, polypropylene, and technical polymer pipes up to 3000mm diameter, serving water/gas, heating/plumbing, telecommunications, mining, and drainage applications. Tecnomatic has also introduced PIPE 4.0 software as part of its Industry 4.0 digital transformation strategy.
