Ceever

What Ceever does

Ceever Srl is an Italian privately held (Srl) industrial equipment manufacturer, headquartered in Settala (Milan), that designs and builds custom systems for chemical-physical surface treatment of metal components. Founded in 1959 and operating with 11-50 employees, the company has accumulated over 50 years of specialization in industrial washing and surface finishing technologies, with an active ISO 9001:2015 quality certification (TÜV). Its product portfolio spans six engineering families — SPRAYMASTER spray washing cabins, TUNNEL in-line conveyor washing systems, TANK multi-tank immersion units, HIDRO hydrokinetic systems, SANDBLAST blasting machines, and HP high-pressure robotic washing/deburring cells — complemented by a broad set of surface treatment processes including phosphating, burnishing, pickling, passivation, oiling, phospho-degreasing, alodine, dewatering, and vacuum impregnation.

The company's value proposition is engineer-to-order: each system is custom-designed in 3D based on the customer's component geometry, throughput, and required surface outcome, then built, tested, and commissioned on-site. Equipment is programmable and supports integration with customer MES production management systems. Ceever serves eight industry verticals — automotive, aerospace, railway, oil & gas, medical, weapons, tools and small parts, and mechanical machining — applying differentiated chemistries and process sequences (e.g., stainless steel passivation for medical devices, PVD-compatible cleaning for aerospace, anti-corrosion treatments for oil & gas).

The business model is direct enterprise B2B sales with quote-based, non-public pricing. Go-to-market is consultative, supported by a bilingual (Italian/English) corporate website, request-for-information forms, and dedicated sales and customer-support phone/email channels. Revenue is generated primarily through one-off capital equipment sales plus design, integration, and commissioning services. The company is privately held with no disclosed external investors, no parent company, no M&A activity, and no public revenue figures, making the ownership structure and financial scale not externally verifiable.
