Bielomatik

What Bielomatik does

Bielomatik GmbH is a German manufacturer of customized machines and systems for plastic joining, headquartered in Römerstein, Germany, and operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Persico Holding GmbH since its acquisition by the Italy-based Persico Group. The company offers six core plastic welding technologies — hot plate, infrared, vibration, laser, the proprietary 2-step LasIR Turn2Weld laser process with inline IR monitoring, and ultrasonic welding — delivered both as modular standard series and as fully customized special systems. Its portfolio is complemented by a dedicated Technology Center for process development and prototype welding, automation and finishing services, the ProActiveService after-sales program, and a specialized medical product line covering Medical Bag Lines and RF/thermal/impulse welding for medical devices.

The company sells primarily through direct enterprise field sales with regional key account managers, supplemented by trade fair presence worldwide, and is supported by manufacturing sites in Germany (headquarters), Shelby Township, Michigan (Persico USA), and Dongguan, China (Persico Dongguan). Its customer base is organized by vertical: medical device manufacturers and automotive OEMs are flagged as primary segments, with household appliances, sanitary and installation technology, and electrical/electronics as secondary segments. The business model is anchored on one-time capital equipment sales of customized machines, augmented by recurring revenue from service contracts, spare parts, and process consulting.

Bielomatik holds ISO 9001:2015 (quality), ISO 14001:2015 (environmental), and TISAX (information security) certifications, has been awarded the ÖKOPROFIT Betrieb eco-efficiency designation annually since 2015, and is a member of the VDMA Blue Competence sustainability alliance. The company is led by Managing Director Marco Imperatore, employs 51-100 people at the German entity, and reports no public revenue, funding rounds, or external investors.

Brands

• ProActiveService: Comprehensive after-sales and support services designed around machines and equipment used for plastic welding, supporting customers worldwide.

Products and services

• Hot Plate Welding Heat- and pressure-based two-stage plastic welding process using horizontal or vertical movement of joining parts. The most frequently used welding process for industrial series production, delivering high weld seam strength and quality even for spatially complex parts.
• Infrared Welding Particle-free plastic welding process in which joining surfaces are heated contactlessly by infrared radiation and then welded under pressure. Adjustable radiator outputs enable material-friendly heating.
• Vibration Welding Plastic welding process in which an oscillating linear relative movement heats, plastifies, and joins the interface surfaces of thermoplastic parts. Available with and without infrared pre-heating, suitable for almost all thermoplastics with short process times.
• Laser Welding Established abrasion- and vibration-free plastic welding process with a very small heat-affected zone, suitable for small and large series. Quasi-simultaneous and laser contour welding methods deliver high weld seam strengths and precise seams that can be used as a design element.
• Turn2Weld (2-Step Laser Welding) Novel particle-free plastic welding process that combines focused laser energy input with the known 2-stage infrared welding technique. First plastic welding process with inline monitoring of the entire heating phase by infrared cameras for both joining partners, enabling contact-free heating via laser radiation with high weld strength and quick tool changes without swapping the heat source.
• Ultrasonic Welding Plastic welding process for numerous plastics offering extremely short process times for separate areas and many welding and riveting connections.
• Automation and Finishing Customized production solutions and competencies in plastic welding technology covering process selection, layout verification, automation concepts, robot simulation, cycle time calculation, and preliminary investigations and tests.
• Technology Center Process optimization and development for plastic welding, drawing on 60 years of experience. Offers customer consulting, procedure improvement, innovation development, training sessions, prototype welding, small series welding, and weld seam analyses in a fully equipped process laboratory.
• ProActiveService Global after-sales service offering designed around Bielomatik's plastic welding machines, including inspections, remote diagnostics, spare parts, and support delivered by a worldwide service team.
• Medical Bag Lines Customized turnkey production lines for medical and biomedical bags, including nutrition bags, stoma care bags, drainage bags, blood bags, urine bags, IV bags, and biomedical bags. Designed for high output rate and low scrap rate in flexible production, leveraging Bielomatik's plastic welding and Persico Group capabilities.
• Prototype Development Consulting and execution services for prototyping, including welding geometry optimization, part design, technology recommendations, prototype tools, and prototype weldings, as well as machine and tool design, process development, and technology integration.
