What Power Tech does

Power Tech srl is a Bologna-based contract manufacturer and operating division of the Cerkio group, providing third-party assembly services across mechanical, electromechanical, and electronic disciplines. From a 3,000 sqm production facility in Zola Predosa (Bologna), the company delivers four core service lines: electrical panel assembly and wiring, electromechanical assemblies for electromedical, medical, cosmetics, automotive, and window-handling sectors, mechanical parts assembly across packaging, automotive, electromedical, cosmetics, and home/professional appliances, and electronic board production using SMD, PTH, MINIMELF, and FBGA mounting technologies with AOI testing and custom test benches. A separate Innovation and R&D line covers hardware, firmware, and software design, wireless connectivity (UNB, BLE, ZigBee, GSM, GPS), battery and motor control systems, embedded boards, sensors, and measurement systems, including two patent-pending proprietary products: an LED smart lamp for jewelry stores and a radiofrequency handpiece for cosmetic machines.

The company's customer base is enterprise-led and spans automotive (Bosch Germany/Italy/France, Landirenzo), industrial controls (Ghibson, GIESSE, Promel), lighting (Celmi, Nekos), building automation (Corradi, SchlegelGiesse/Tyman Group), energy (HG Energy, Eos), engineering services (Altran), and cosmetics/electromedical (Dermal Institute, Sicam, XBW). Power Tech monetizes through quote-based professional services contracts with pricing not publicly disclosed, using a sales-led B2B direct enterprise go-to-market supported by its corporate website and limited earned media exposure (a Sky Business24 interview with owner Pierangelo Paolini). The business is privately held under the Cerkio group umbrella, is UNI EN ISO 9001:2015 certified on a Lean Production-based workflow method, and in 2022 expanded via the acquisition of Catellani srl, a 40-year-old Reggio Emilia firm in lighting, industrial control, consumer electronics, and medical instruments. Operational scale is described as approximately 875,000 managed product codes and 12,750 processed orders, while revenue and headcount are not publicly disclosed.
