What Cometto does

Cometto S.p.A. a Socio Unico is an Italian manufacturer of self-propelled modular transporters (SPMT) and heavy load modules, headquartered in Borgo San Dalmazzo, Italy, and founded in 1954. The company specializes in engineering modular hydraulic transport vehicles capable of moving payloads up to 25,000 tonnes and beyond, with a product portfolio that also includes specialized shipyard transporters, steelworks transporters, and industrial conveying equipment. All production is conducted in-house, supported by more than 70 years of accumulated engineering experience in the SPMT category.

The company serves enterprise customers across six primary end markets: heavy industry, shipbuilding, oil & gas and offshore, wind energy, project logistics, and steelworks. Named enterprise customers include Mammoet (project logistics, notably the Kiruna church relocation in Sweden), Vestas and Augizeau (wind energy, including the first V163 rotor blade transport in France), Hagedorn, Eisele, and Wasel (European heavy logistics), and Transdata (heavy-duty precision transport in Brazil). Distribution is handled through a global authorized dealer and sales consultant network complemented by direct enterprise sales, with new and used vehicle stock available for purchase.

Cometto operates as a wholly-owned specialist subsidiary within the Faymonville Group following its 2017 acquisition, alongside sister brands MaxTrailer, Faymonville, and Morello. Faymonville Group's 2024/2025 acquisition of Morello extends the group's portfolio into battery-driven electric vehicles for lighter payloads from 5 tonnes, complementing Cometto's heavy-load focus. Revenue is generated primarily through direct hardware sales of high-value, custom-configured industrial equipment rather than subscription or recurring contracts.
