Core offering

CGM CIGIEMME S.p.A. designs and manufactures Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) equipment and consumables, with a primary specialization in Magnetic Particle Testing (MT) and Liquid Penetrant Testing (PT) systems. Its portfolio spans portable devices, bench equipment, fully automated in-line inspection systems, and a complete consumables range (magnetic powders, penetrants, developers, emulsifiers). The company also offers Ultrasonic Testing (UT) and Eddy Current (EC) systems in partnership with Evident|Olympus for the Italian market, plus LABINO-branded UV lamps for fluorescent inspection. Products are engineered for industrial quality-control applications in railway, aerospace, oil & gas, steelmaking, and automotive manufacturing.

Product overview

CGM CIGIEMME S.p.A. is an NDT (Non-Destructive Testing) equipment manufacturer offering a comprehensive portfolio of products across four main testing technologies. The core offering consists of Magnetic Particle Testing (MT) systems, equipment, accessories, and consumables — including magnetic powders (black and fluorescent), suspension liquids, and spray products. The second major pillar is Liquid Penetrant Testing (PT) systems (from manual bench setups to fully automatic in-line systems), accessories, and consumables (fluorescent and color-contrast penetrants, emulsifiers, developers, and cleaners). A third product line covers UV Lamps sourced exclusively from LABINO, encompassing fixed, portable, battery-powered, and headlamp models along with the Apollo 3.0 UV light intensity meter. The fourth offering comprises Ultrasonic Testing and Eddy Current systems, manufactured in partnership with Evident│Olympus for the Italian market. Products serve the aerospace, automotive, railway, steelmaking, and oil & gas industries. The portfolio spans from simple portable equipment to highly customized automated lines, complemented by a full range of consumables and measurement accessories.
