MUZZI

What MUZZI does

Muzzi S.r.l. Unipersonale is an Italian manufacturer of electroplated diamond and CBN (Cubic Boron Nitride) superabrasive tools, founded in 1980 and headquartered in San Leo (Rimini province). The company designs and produces grinding wheels, cutting discs, and specialty tools organized across six application verticals: foundry/cast iron (automatic deburring, engine block grinding), precision mechanics (internal and profile grinding of carbide, ceramic, stellite, hardened steel), stone/marble processing (profiled wheels for soft stones, diamond bits, core drills), friction materials (brake pad and drum grinding), fiber-reinforced plastics/composites, and custom special tools. Its core manufacturing process is electrochemical nickel plating that bonds natural or synthetic diamond, or CBN, crystals to metallic wheel bodies, with approximately half the crystal protruding for aggressive cutting action; grit sizes span D20 microgrit to D1181 coarse grain per FEPA standards, and production supports wheel diameters up to one meter. A robotized plating system, operational since 2020, improved deposit uniformity and processing times, and in-house 3D modeling with stress analysis supports custom tool design with defined abrasive type, grit, dimensions, tolerances, and testing protocols.

The company is headquartered in a single 1,500 m² facility employing 16 people, with departments for CNC turning, electroplating, brazing, and quality control (3D coordinate measuring machine, profilometer, optical projector, dynamic balancing). It holds ISO 9001:2015 certification (renewed July 2025, valid through 2028) covering design, production, and refurbishment of electroplated and brazed tools, and owns the proprietary 'Muzzi Fit' threaded connection system for grinding pins. Muzzi operates a tool regeneration service that strips worn abrasive layers and replates new diamond or CBN, extending tool life at lower cost than new tool purchase.

Revenue is generated through one-time tool sales, a regeneration/refurbishment service, and custom design and technical support services, with quotation-based pricing and no public price list. Distribution combines direct sales in Italy with a regional dealer network spanning Germany (C-PARTS GmbH), Turkey (TEKNO METALURJI), Austria (Shenton), and Italy (CAMFART SRL for springs, SAIT ABRASIVI for foundry), supplemented by participation in major industry trade fairs (WIRE, GIFA, ANKIROS, IFEX, EUROBRAKE) and a YouTube channel launched in 2020. Muzzi has received two regional grants from Emilia-Romagna (2019 for robotized plating, 2022 for robotic painting/digital transition), share capital is €118,000 fully paid-in, and General Manager Ing. Matteo Muzzi leads the sole-shareholder company.

Revenue model

1. Electroplated Diamond and CBN Tool Sales: One-time sale of electroplated grinding wheels, cutting discs, and specialty tools for cast iron deburring, precision mechanics, marble processing, friction (brake components), and fiberglass reinforced plastics. Tools produced in all grit sizes from D20 to D1181 per FEPA standards.
2. Tool Regeneration Services: Regeneration service removes worn abrasive layer and replates new diamond or CBN layer on customer tools. Includes re-profiling, testing, and dynamic balancing. More cost-effective than new tool purchase while maintaining tolerances and safety specifications equivalent to new wheels.
