What Macotec does
Macotec srl is an Italian industrial machinery manufacturer founded in 1997 and headquartered in Rogolo, Sondrio, specializing in automatic cutting systems for flat glass. The company designs, builds, and installs machines for processing both monolithic float glass and laminated glass sheets, with a product portfolio spanning standalone cutting tables (Master Shape, Star Cut, Strato Active), combined cutting lines that integrate monolithic and laminated processing modules, and automated loading and storage systems (Dynamic Loader, Dynamic Crane, Dynamic Shuttle, Dynamic Drawer). Technical differentiation rests on proprietary in-house developed features including the Intraweb software platform for real-time machine monitoring and service management, sequential Z-cut technology for complex laminated glass patterns, and PC-based control systems combining PC flexibility with PLC robustness.
The company operates from a single 10,000 m² facility in northern Italy that houses complete in-house design, engineering, assembly, and testing capabilities across mechanical, electrical, and IT disciplines. All product development and manufacturing is retained internally rather than outsourced, supporting customization and quality control for customer-specific configurations. Proprietary processing features address specialized requirements including Low-E coated glass handling (TPF and Easy-Pro systems), automatic tool changing (Click & Cut), and automatic labeling.
Macotec generates revenue through three streams: industrial machinery sales (cutting tables, complete lines, loading and storage systems), technical support and service including remote diagnostics, and after-market spare parts supply. Pricing is quote-based and varies by equipment configuration, with typical contract cycles spanning multiple years. The company distributes exclusively through a network of authorized distributors and agents covering over 30 countries across Europe, the Americas, Asia, Africa, and Oceania, with direct sales and coordination handled from its Italian headquarters. The end-customer base consists of flat glass processing manufacturers serving construction, automotive, and industrial applications.
