Edilteco Group

What Edilteco Group does

Edilteco Group, founded in 1981 in San Felice sul Panaro (Modena, Italy), is a privately held Italian manufacturer of specialty building materials organized into seven operating divisions — THERMAL (insulation and chemicals), GREEN (re-granulated EPS), DBRED (noise reduction), DBRED-V (vibration isolation), PROTHERM Light (passive fire protection), E&MP (mixing and pumping equipment), GECO (dehumidification) and ESB (lightweight masonry blocks). Its technology platform rests on the proprietary E.I.A. additive for expanded polystyrene (EPS) beads, which enables homogeneous mixing with hydraulic binders and underpins a vertically integrated portfolio spanning lightweight screeds (ISOLCAP, LA CHAPE XXs), thermal plasters (ISOLTECO), prefinished insulation panels (ECAP), acoustic plasters (SOTTOVOCE), intumescent fire-protection systems (PROTHERM LIGHT) and re-ground EPS mortars (Edilteco Green).

The group sells into construction companies, architects, building-material retailers and renovation contractors, primarily in Italy, through a capillary network of agents, area managers and technicians, and internationally via wholly-owned subsidiaries in France, Belgium and Canada, plus a licensing-and-know-how model that places production with local partners in 61 countries. Revenue is generated through direct sale of bagged and panelized insulation products, licensing royalties and technical/commercial assistance for international partners, and sales of proprietary mixing and pumping machinery (E&MP division); prices are transparently published as downloadable PDFs. Edilteco is the exclusive Italian distributor of BSW/Regupol acoustic products and, since 2024, of CarbonCure concrete-optimization technology across six European markets.

Ownership sits under the holding company Saved S.r.l. and the group remains founder/family-controlled; €1.17 million registered share capital, undisclosed revenue and headcount, but eight wholly-owned operating subsidiaries, a 140-page 2026 product catalog, an active PNRR-co-funded PhD pipeline with the University of Bologna and ENS Paris-Saclay, and 40+ years of compounding patent and know-how position Edilteco as a mid-sized, technically credible specialty building-materials platform with broad international reach but limited external capital-market visibility.

Core offering

Edilteco Group manufactures and sells proprietary EPS-based building envelope products covering thermal insulation (EPS beads, lightweight screeds, thermal plasters, rigid boards, prefinished panels, certified floor systems), acoustic insulation (impact, airborne, sound-absorbing plasters), passive fire protection, dehumidification systems, ultra-lightweight masonry blocks, and the mixing/pumping equipment used to apply them. The company also licenses its patented technology, including the E.I.A. additive for EPS beads and the ECAP prefinished panel system, to international partners for local production under technical and commercial assistance.

Product overview

Edilteco Group is a multi-division construction products company offering a comprehensive portfolio of building performance solutions organised into seven operating divisions. The THERMAL division provides vertically integrated thermal insulation technologies spanning the entire building envelope — from raw EPS bead additives (POLITERM) and factory-premixed screeds/underfloors (ISOLCAP, KRONOS, LA CHAPE XXs DUAL TECH), thermal insulating plasters (ISOLTECO), rigid insulation boards (EDIL-THERM EPS and PIR panels), and prefinished insulation panel systems (ECAP), to a complete certified floor system (ARIETE). The GREEN division extends the thermal range with sustainable re-granulated EPS products (Edilteco Green). The DBRED (Noise Reduction) division addresses acoustic comfort through impact and airborne noise insulation (DBRED DUETTO, F, FONOTECH, W, ZERODB GIPS), the revolutionary spray-applied sound-absorbing plaster SOTTOVOCE, and distributes REGUPOL/REGUFOAM vibration isolation products under the DBRED-V brand. The PROTHERM Light division provides passive fire protection through intumescent coatings and mortars for structural protection, including the dedicated PROTHERM LIGHT FRP system for FRP reinforcements. The E&MP (Engineering) division manufactures mixing and pumping equipment (ISOLCAP MACHINE, POLITERM MACHINE) for on-site application of all Edilteco products. The GECO division offers a complete dehumidification and renovation system for damp masonry, and the ESB division produces ultra-lightweight SMARTBLOCK masonry blocks and MALTA BLOCK thermal mortar. All product and production technologies are backed by Edilteco's own patents and exclusive know-how.
