Ecomacchine

What Ecomacchine does

Ecomacchine S.R.L. is an Italian privately-held designer and manufacturer of industrial water and wastewater treatment equipment, headquartered in Grugliasco (Turin) and operating since 1976. Its product range covers the full mechanical treatment chain — screening, grit and grease removal, circular and rectangular clarifiers, lamella plate clarifiers, API oil-water separators, dissolved air flotation (DAF) and dissolved gas flotation (DGF) units, clariflocculators, predewatering units, belt filter presses (including the Type 400 biological sludge series), and polymer/coagulant dosing skids. The portfolio is engineered for municipal wastewater, industrial process water (steel, textile, dairy, food and beverage, paper, cement, ceramics) and oil & gas applications, including demanding high-chloride production-water re-injection systems deployed for ENI in Italy and ENERECO in Iraq.

The business model is engineered-to-order project-based equipment supply, with custom design and pre-assembly at the Italian facility, followed by on-site commissioning worldwide. Ecomacchine sells directly to enterprise and government customers with no distributor network, supported by a dedicated spare-parts and after-sales service function. Marketing is driven by a multilingual website (Italian, English, Russian) and selective participation in international trade exhibitions (e.g., WATEX Iran 2015). Revenue is generated from one-time equipment sales, engineering/commissioning services, and a smaller recurring spare-parts stream.

The company employs 11–50 people, holds €1.248M of share capital, and has no disclosed external institutional investors. Its competitive positioning rests on nearly five decades of domain specialization in challenging water chemistries (high-chloride, hydrocarbons, dissolved gases) and a track record of executing projects in Italy, Iraq, Mexico, Iran, Algeria, Tunisia, Russia, Turkey, the Netherlands, Egypt and Saudi Arabia.
