What Waterjet Corporation does

Waterjet Corporation S.R.L. is an Italian industrial machinery manufacturer founded in 1991 in Monza by Ing. Salvatore Russo, specializing in CNC-controlled high-pressure waterjet cutting equipment. The company operates four product divisions: (1) Waterjet Cutting Machines — a portfolio of 11+ models (TRIBLADE, Prima, Pratica, Pratica FBR, Waterline, Classica, Suprema, Ram, Suprema DXD, Plasmajet, Custom Large Machines) for cold cutting of metal, glass, stone, composites, and plastics without heat distortion; (2) Hydrofinish — a complete line of water-based surface treatment systems (Waterstone, Brushstone, Scratchstone, Flamestone, Hydrojet, Hydrodecorative, Waterstone Compact, Full Automatic Line) for stone materials, marketed as the only full-line offering worldwide; (3) Gourmet — food industry waterjet cutting machines (UNiKA, Delicia, Magnifica, Optima) for fresh and frozen pastry, chocolate, vegetables, fish, and meat; and (4) W-Power Servo Pumps — patented hybrid and 100% electric high-pressure intensifier pumps launched in November 2020. All products are manufactured in Italy under ISO 9001:2015 and CE certification, with proprietary CNC, HMI, and CAD-CAM software bundled.

The company's business model is industrial equipment sales supported by recurring after-sales services (spare parts, installation, training, retrofits, maintenance contracts). Distribution combines wholly-owned subsidiaries — Waterjet USA LLC (Geneva, IL, est. 2012) and Waterjet Middle East FZCO (Jebel Ali, est. 2004) — with an international dealer network spanning 60+ countries and 2,500+ installed plants. Revenue exceeds €12 million annually with 50+ employees in Italy. Primary end markets are stone/marble processors, industrial manufacturers (aerospace, shipbuilding, composites, medical devices), and food processors. Marketing is anchored by active participation in major international trade shows (SIGEP, BIG 5 Global, Gulfood, K Düsseldorf, Saudi HORECA, TISE) and a multilingual website.
