B-Fluid

What B-Fluid does

B-Fluid S.r.l. is an Italian private limited company founded in 1984 and headquartered in Moncalieri (Turin), operating in the industrial equipment sector with a 11-50 employee footprint. The company designs, builds, and installs turnkey fluid dosing, dispensing, mixing, filtration, and treatment systems for industrial manufacturers, with specialization in handling viscous fluids including greases, oils, silicones, resins, adhesives, methacrylates, bicomponents, anaerobic fluids, and primers. Its core product portfolio spans viscous fluid supply systems (follower plate pumps up to 1,000,000 cps, pressure tanks), volumetric dosing systems (screw pumps with under 1% repeatability deviation), time/pressure dosing, bicomponent proportioning (fixed ratio 1:1 to 10:1 and variable ratio configurations), UV curing, plasma surface treatment, and integrated 3D laser/Coherix vision quality control. The company is recognized as among the first European manufacturers of CIPG (Cure In Place Gasket) dosing lines, achieving 60-80 pieces/hour with ±0.3 mm cord tolerance.

The company's primary revenue model is project-based, generating income from custom turnkey system sales (design, equipment supply, installation, commissioning), dosing equipment and component sales (volumetric pumps, proportioners, valves, controllers), and aftermarket services (training, maintenance, technical support). Pricing is fully quote-based and not publicly disclosed. B-Fluid reaches customers through a hybrid direct-sales and channel-partner model, drawing on partnerships with Graco, DropsA, Piab, Agme (exclusive agent for Italy), SMC, Henkel, LDP, Soma, Kobold, Saejong, and Coherix. The company serves six primary customer segments: industrial manufacturing (primary), E-Mobility/automotive battery (primary), electronics (potting/encapsulation), cosmetics (volumetric filling), food & beverage (volumetric filling with CIP/SIP), and thermal interface material applications. The E-Mobility vertical, into which B-Fluid installed 4 bicomponent battery systems in 2021, is positioned as a strategic growth pillar, supported by ISO 9001:2015 certification and participation in automotive industry events including ABS 2026.
