What Sammi does
Sammi S.r.l. is an Italian B2B industrial equipment manufacturer and EPC contractor headquartered in Narni Scalo (Terni), founded in 1976. The company designs, engineers, manufactures, and commissions custom bulk material handling systems for industrial clients worldwide, including belt conveyors, bucket elevators, extractors, tripper cars, ship loaders and unloaders, stackers, stockyard systems, hoppers, and spillage chains. Its equipment is deployed across capacities ranging from 50 t/h to 2,500 t/h and is built to project-specific requirements, with ATEX 94/9/EC certification available for operation in explosive atmospheres such as sulphur, grain dust, and petroleum coke environments.
The company's go-to-market is direct B2B sales to enterprise customers in mining and quarries, cement and lime, port terminals and off-shore, steel and foundries, food and agriculture, oil and gas, tunneling, glass recycling, and power and waste treatment. Sammi operates both as an equipment supplier and as a full EPC contractor, delivering feasibility studies, preliminary and detailed engineering, procurement, project management, construction supervision, commissioning, and start-up assistance. Pricing is project-specific and custom-quoted; revenue derives from one-time equipment sales and professional services tied to each contract. The firm also distributes Future Steel Building modular steel structures exclusively in Italy as an adjacent product line.
Sammi has executed projects in more than 15 countries—including Italy, Ukraine, Poland, France, Belgium, Kuwait, Iran, Finland, Canada, the USA, Indonesia, Russia, India, Spain, and Croatia—with a notable customer base that includes ArcelorMittal, Italcementi, Ciments Calcia, Kuwait Steel, Carmeuse, Saint-Gobain PAM, LOTOS Asfalt, INA-Industrija Nafte, Berau Mining Coal, Coeclerici Logistics, Eurodocks/Gruppo Setramar, and BBT SE. Strategic subcontractor relationships with tier-1 EPC primes, notably KT Kinetics Technology (MAIRE Tecnimont Group), have positioned Sammi as a specialist supplier on major petrochemical refinery projects. The company is privately held, appears founder/family-owned, and operates with no disclosed external investors, parent company, or M&A activity.
