What Montagna does

Montagna Srl is an Italian family-owned manufacturer of UV-C disinfection systems, founded in 1960 in Lacchiarella (province of Milan) and currently led by third-generation family ownership. The company designs, manufactures, and services chemical-free disinfection equipment using low-pressure mercury vapor lamps that emit germicidal UV-C radiation at 254 nm wavelength to inactivate microorganisms by breaking their DNA chains. Its product portfolio spans ten named hardware lines organized by application: FLUX (open-channel wastewater systems in O, V, D, and O-Light variants), FORMA (closed-vessel systems in E, I, and S variants), UNO (compact closed-vessel units for drinking water and pools), SYSTEM (thin-film reactors for low-transmittance industrial fluids such as oils, glucose, and emulsions), KOMBI (modular monoblock systems for municipal aqueducts exceeding 1,000 m³/h), and an Air & Surfaces line (UV-AirTube, UV-SaniBox, and Custom systems) launched in 2021. The company has installed more than 11,000 systems across nine verticals including municipal drinking water, wastewater, aquaculture, industrial manufacturing, agriculture, pools and thermal facilities, food and beverage, pharmaceutical, and air/surface disinfection.
