What Sicoma does

Sicoma (S.I.CO.MA — Società Italiana Costruzione Macchine) is the major manufacturing division of Officine Meccaniche Galletti SRL (OMG), an Italian industrial machinery company founded in 1947 by brothers David and Bruno Galletti in Ponte Valleceppi near Perugia, Italy. The company designs and manufactures heavy-duty concrete mixing equipment, with four core product lines: planetary mixers (MP Series, 10–4,000 litres), twin shaft mixers (MAO Series, 1–8 cubic meters), twin shaft continuous/pug mill mixers (MAO/C), and turbo pan mixers (MT Series). Supporting systems include concrete distribution systems (overhead buckets and travelling systems), skip hoists, prefeed/piggyback hopper systems, and lab mixers (MP75LAB) for testing and training.

Technically, Sicoma differentiates through patent-protected features including a counter-rotating disk shaft seal system with automatic grease lubrication, Ni-Hard Cast Iron wear components (530–550 HB hardness), a double horizontal planetary gearbox with a 5-year/10,000-hour warranty, swing-out drives for maintenance without cranes, high-pressure washout systems, and a microcontroller-based Black Box monitoring system for remote diagnostics. The company was the first concrete mixer manufacturer to achieve ISO 9001 certification in 1995, upgraded to ISO 9001:2008 in 2009.

Sicoma operates through a direct B2B enterprise sales model targeting concrete producers, precast/prestressed manufacturers, masonry/paver producers, dam contractors, soil stabilization firms, and industrial processors in dry mortar, refractory, glass, and chemicals. Manufacturing spans Italy (HQ producing critical components, 20,000 sqm plant), Spain (Barcelona), and China (Zhuhai), with regional sales coverage including UK/Ireland via NAJAH Concrete Spares Ltd in Birmingham. Revenue is generated through hardware sales of mixers, spare parts, and accessories, with a stated production of over 2,000 mixers per year and an installed base exceeding 14,000 units worldwide. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is quote-based on customer specifications.
