What Mantovanibenne does

Mantovanibenne s.r.l. is an Italian manufacturer founded in 1963 and headquartered in Mirandola (Modena), operating as the core entity of the MBI Group. The company designs and builds hydraulic excavator attachments for three primary verticals: demolition (primary and secondary), metal recycling and scrap handling, and earthmoving. Its product portfolio spans more than 20 equipment categories and over 100 models — including demolition crushers, combi crushers, multisystems, pulverizers, hydraulic shears (with the EAGLESHEARS sub-brand for scrap), rail breakers, sorting and orange-peel grapples, hydraulic magnets, pile breakers, quick couplers, buckets, and screening buckets — covering excavator weight classes from under 25 tonnes to over 76 tonnes.

Manufacturing is anchored in Italy with additional production at MBI Bulgaria (Kavarna) and ZMM Zhejiang Mantovani Machinery (Shangyu, China). Revenue is generated through hardware sales of original equipment combined with a meaningful aftermarket stream of 13,000 original spare parts and technical service contracts. Distribution combines direct sales from headquarters with wholly-owned subsidiaries in France (MBI France sarl) and Germany (MBI Deutschland GmbH), plus an authorized dealer network spanning all continents. The go-to-market is sales-led with channel partner support: customers receive consultation, installation guidance, jobsite servicing, remote assistance, and planned maintenance programs. The company holds ISO 9001 certification (Kiwa) and 15 registered patents, and has been a member of major industry bodies including EDA, CECE, UNACEA, and BDSV.
