What Righetti does
Righetti SRL is a privately-held Italian industrial machinery manufacturer founded in 2000 and headquartered in Verona, Italy, where it operates a 3,500 m2 production facility. The company specializes exclusively in vacuum lifting equipment (sollevatori a ventosa) — devices that use negative pressure (vacuum/depression) to create a secure seal between suction pads and flat or curved materials, enabling safe handling without clamps or slings. Its product portfolio spans four core lines: glass vacuum lifters (150-3000 kg capacity), sandwich panel/cladding lifters (up to 750 kg), sheet metal lifters (up to 7000 kg), and stone/porcelain lifters (up to 2000 kg), all available in battery, pneumatic, or electric configurations and compliant with EN13155 and CE Directive 2006/42/CE. Righetti sells both catalog models and bespoke custom-engineered units through direct sales from its Verona headquarters, supported by a global sales network, a 10-language multilingual website, and recognized international couriers for worldwide shipping.
The company generates revenue through four streams: (1) direct hardware sales of standard and custom vacuum lifters on a quote-based model with technical-commercial consultation; (2) equipment rental via its Righetti Rent service, which includes a rental-to-purchase option (riscatto); (3) spare parts and components, with guaranteed long-term availability even years after purchase; and (4) annual inspection, certification, and maintenance services. Its primary customer segments are construction and façade installers (sandwich panels), glaziers (glass and windows), metalworking and sheet metal processors, and stone/marble fabricators, with secondary exposure to naval/shipbuilding and automotive glass applications. The customer base is distributed across European markets (Italy, France, Poland, and additional countries served via the multilingual site), and case-study evidence spans SMBs, mid-market installers, and enterprise distribution partners. Righetti holds a registered patent on its Assisted Tilting Device, employs 11-50 people, and has been associated with Confindustria Marmomacchine since 2017.

Righetti competitors and assessment
Company assessmentEmerging players
- Piab: Piab (Sweden) is a vacuum technology specialist focused primarily on vacuum components (pumps, suction cups, grippers, end-of-arm tooling) used by OEMs and integrators. Adjacent to Righetti in vacuum-handling technology but does not directly compete in finished vacuum lifters.
- BHS Handling Solutions: BHS (US/Germany) manufactures vacuum lifting devices and crane systems primarily for corrugated/packaging and warehouse applications. Partial overlap with Righetti in vacuum-handling technology but focused on different end-uses (packaging/warehouse vs. construction/stone).
Broad incumbents
- Konecranes: Konecranes (Finland) is a global lifting incumbent offering overhead cranes, hoists, and material handling solutions across industrial and port environments. Not a direct vacuum-lifter competitor but represents the broader lifting category that includes vacuum lifting as a subsegment.
Direct peers
- Anver Corporation: Anver (US) is a North American vacuum lifter and below-the-hook attachment manufacturer serving glass, sheet metal, stone, and aerospace applications. Comparable to Righetti in product breadth across material types and custom-engineering capability, but focused on the US market.
- Vacu-Lift Manufacturing: Vacu-Lift (US) designs and builds custom vacuum lifting equipment for heavy-duty industrial applications including steel, aerospace, and stone. Comparable to Righetti in custom-engineering orientation but with a heavier industrial focus than Righetti's construction/SMB mix.
- AERO-LIFT: AERO-LIFT (Germany) specializes in vacuum tube lifters and below-the-hook vacuum systems for industrial material handling, particularly repetitive load handling in production environments. Competes with Righetti in pneumatic/vacuum-based lifting for industrial use cases.
- Tawi: Tawi (Sweden) is a vacuum lifter specialist serving construction, retail, warehouse, and manufacturing applications with both below-the-hook vacuum lifters and crane systems. Comparable to Righetti in targeting SMB/mid-market installers needing compact, modular vacuum lifting solutions.
- Wood's Powr-Grip: Wood's Powr-Grip (US) is a vacuum lifter manufacturer specializing in manual and powered vacuum lifters for glass, metal, and stone handling. Comparable product portfolio to Righetti, particularly for glass installation and stone countertop handling.
- Movomech: Movomech (Sweden) designs and manufactures industrial vacuum lifters and jib cranes for sheet metal, glass, and packaging handling. Directly competes with Righetti in the European metalworking and glass installation segments with comparable product modularity.
- Schmalz: Schmalz is a German family-owned market leader in vacuum automation technology, including vacuum lifters for glass, sheet metal, and wood. It is the closest direct competitor to Righetti globally, with similar specialization in vacuum-based material handling and a broader product/catalog footprint.
