What ADIGE S.P.A. does

ADIGE S.P.A., operating commercially as BLM GROUP, is an Italian privately-held industrial machinery original equipment manufacturer headquartered in Levico Terme, Italy. The company designs and builds machines for the full tube-processing workflow — laser tube cutting (Lasertube family including LT12, LT5.10, LT7, LT8.20, LTX, LT6, LT14/LT24, and LT14 FIBER), 3D laser cutting cells (LT-FREE, LT360), sheet laser cutting, laser welding, tube bending (4-RUNNER, E-TURN, SMART, ELECT), sawing, tube end-forming, and wire bending. Its technical differentiator is the proprietary Active Tools technology combined with an integrated software stack (ArTube, VGPNext, ArGo, Prometheus, PartViewer, Composer) and AI-assisted bending that supports lower-experience operators.

The company sells capital equipment on a quote-based, multi-year contract basis to manufacturing customers across automotive, aerospace and defense, motorcycles, furniture, HVAC, industrial vehicles, structural/construction, fitness, household appliances, contractors, and data centers. Named enterprise customers include Mundo-Tech Inc., Heras, Kinnarps AB, Andamios Atlas, and MAP S.p.A. Distribution runs through a direct global field-sales and assistance network covering Europe, North America, and Asia, complemented by the BLMportal customer service platform, Academy training, and reconditioned-machines offering. The company is privately held under Italian P.IVA 01653120137, with no disclosed parent, investors, funding rounds, or executive team in the source data.
