What Orved does
Orved S.p.A. is an Italian designer and manufacturer of professional vacuum packaging, sous vide cooking, and tray sealing equipment, founded in 1984 by Marziano Salvaro and headquartered in Musile di Piave, Italy. The company builds a broad hardware portfolio spanning chamber vacuum machines (Cuisson, Bright/Power-Steel, Evox, Idea, VM, Pastry lines), sous vide cook-and-chill systems (SV-Lab and SV-Lab Pro), tray sealers (VGP, VGP Skin, Profi), external suction machines, and domestic-use appliances, supported by consumables (smooth, embossed, cooking, and compostable Natural Vacuum bags; CPET, compostable, Gastronorm, and PP trays) and accessories including the SYV valve for sous vide temperature monitoring. Core engineering is rooted in proprietary technologies such as vertical vacuum chamber architecture (Cuisson line), HIGH-FLEX chamber design (Evox), POWER-STEEL chambers with inert gas injection (Bright), and intelligent sensors for automated vacuum control; the company also developed the ARGOVAC space-qualified machine in collaboration with Argotec for the Futura mission.
The company serves professional foodservice operators — restaurants, hotels, caterers, pastry shops, butcher shops, dairy/cheese shops, food processing laboratories, and takeaway/delivery kitchens — alongside home consumers. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time hardware sales of machines and consumables (bags, trays, accessories), supplemented by Orved Academy training services; pricing is quote-based with no disclosed subscription model. Distribution combines wholly-owned subsidiaries in France (Orved France Sasu, Massy) and Spain (Orved Ibérica S.L., Barcelona), a channel partnership with Jestic Foodservice Solutions in the UK, and a global distributor network reaching 121 countries. The operating model is self-funded, founder-led, and ISO 9001 / ETL-certified for export markets, with no disclosed external investment or funding rounds.
