What Dinema does

Dinema S.p.A. is an Italian industrial electronics company founded in 1971 and headquartered in Brescia, operating three business units: Dinema Electronics (OEM/EMS design and production of electronic boards via SMT/THT assembly, parametric and functional testing, and after-sales support), Dinema Lighting (industrial LED fixtures and intelligent lighting management systems with D-Morse evo and the new D-Farm agricultural solution), and Dinema Textile (accessories and software for circular knitting machines, including the PLUS yarn feeder, iSpy and GRYF sensors, NAUTILUS data collection, FDU4 program transfer, and DSC EVO size measurement). Its proprietary software stack — Arcadia (2021) and Unlimitex (2025) — applies AI techniques for predictive and preventive maintenance, real-time efficiency monitoring, energy-consumption optimization, and AI-assisted 2D/3D garment design. The company sells to B2B industrial customers across textile machinery (notably integrated with Lonati and Santoni circular knitting machines), industrial and commercial facilities requiring LED lighting, and specialized sectors including electro-medical, railway, security, UPS, and renewable energy.

The business model combines one-time hardware sales (LED fixtures, yarn feeders, sensors, electronic boards, OEM projects), EMS professional-services revenue (assembly, testing, logistics for already-designed products), and a subscription/recurring software layer through Arcadia and Unlimitex. Pricing is opaque and quote-based rather than publicly disclosed. Dinema reaches customers through three business-unit websites, direct sales, and a global agent network spanning all continents, supplemented by participation in ITMA Asia, HostMilano, and FAZI trade fairs and an active business-partner recruitment program. The company holds ISO 9001 and IQNet certifications, employs 101-250 people, maintains €5,200,000 in paid-up share capital, and is privately held with no disclosed parent but a visible affiliated relationship to the Lonati Group (co-partner on the PNRR-funded New Digital Platform project and shared whistleblowing portal). Recent strategic activity centers on AI-enabled textile software (Unlimitex, Arcadia), agricultural lighting (D-Farm), the DSC EVO measurement device with embedded imaging, and the 2022-2025 PNRR-funded predictive-AI research collaboration with Lonati.
