What Stromab does

Stromab S.p.A. is an Italian family-owned industrial machinery manufacturer that designs, builds, and services woodworking equipment — principally saws, cutting centres, and clamp/gluing presses. Founded in 1965 by Luciano Bertesi in Campagnola Emilia (Reggio Emilia), the company operates from a 5,000+ m² vertically integrated facility producing 450+ machines per year with a workforce of approximately 40 employees. Its product portfolio spans 14 categories, including pneumatic and hydraulic crosscut saws, optimised crosscut saws with electronic push-feed (Matrix series), 5-axis CNC cutting centres (MV520, US800), block house working centres, gluing presses, and universal/door-and-window presses. The technical stack centres on Beckhoff electronic controls with 12"–18.5" touchscreens (Windows/Linux), proprietary rack-and-pinion brushless push-feed systems with ±0.4 mm positioning accuracy, and the proprietary "Stromab Easy-Wood" CAD-CAM software that imports BTL machining lists directly from leading timber-frame design platforms (SEMA, DIETRICH, CAD-WORK). Photocell-based OPTI and OPTI PLUS modules automate measurement and fluorescent-mark defect detection.

The company's commercial model is hardware-centric project sales, with no public pricing — configurations are quoted on a per-project basis. Sales are conducted via a direct field sales organisation supplemented by an international distributor network, with Eurobois (Lyon, February 2026) as a flagship demand-generation event. Revenue streams span machinery sales (the majority) and after-sales technical service, spare parts, and operator training. The customer base is segmented across six verticals: wooden packaging manufacturers (the traditional core since 1965), timber-frame construction (roofs, walls, structured beams — identified as the fastest-growing segment), floors/doors/windows, block house log construction, sofa frame drums, and outdoor furniture. The company holds an EC Type Examination Certificate for the US800 and maintains a long-standing strategic partnership with SCM Group. Stromab is privately held by the Bertesi family, with no external funding rounds, public listing, or M&A activity disclosed.
