What Adelio Lattuada does

Adelio Lattuada S.r.l. is an Italian industrial machinery manufacturer founded in 1978 and headquartered in Carbonate (Como), Italy. The company designs and builds glass and stone processing equipment, with a portfolio of more than 40 configurable machine models spanning straight-line edging machines (AL, TL, TLR, TLS series), straight-line beveling machines (Gamma, CT, CTS series), vertical washing machines (OT series), horizontal drilling machines (TP series), corner grinding machines (DELTA series), and stone polishing machines (Petra series). Recent additions include the SLS 100 centrifuge for wastewater treatment and recycling in glass grinding operations.

The underlying technology stack includes proprietary Lattuada spindles designed for low-vibration, high-precision grinding, the A-WR i-AL automatic wheel zero-setting and wear compensation system, and the ORQUESTRA IIoT Data Manager platform for Industry 4.0 production data collection and integration. Adelio Lattuada has also developed integrated robotic lines in collaboration with Knittel Glass and KUKA, achieving productivity rates of up to 130 meters per hour in automated glass processing.

The company operates a hybrid go-to-market model combining direct enterprise sales from its Italian headquarters, a wholly-owned North American subsidiary (Lattuada North America, Inc., established in 2018 in Ohio), and a network of regional agents and distributors covering the UK, Egypt, Mexico, Poland, Spain, Portugal, and Canada. Revenue derives primarily from one-time capital equipment sales, with recurring service and spare parts as a secondary stream. Customer segments include small to large glass manufacturers and processors, stone and ceramic fabricators, and specialized glass applications such as fire-rated, architectural, automotive, and furniture glass. Pricing is quote-based with no public disclosure, reflecting custom machine configurations. The company remains family-owned, with the second generation (Nicola and Michela Lattuada) in leadership roles.
