Vibrowest

What Vibrowest does

Vibrowest Italiana S.r.l. is an Italian industrial equipment manufacturer founded circa 1960 and headquartered in Solaro, in the province of Milan. The company designs and manufactures vibratory sieves (vibrovagli), centrifugal sifters, tumbler screeners, and complementary separation equipment for processing powders, granules, and liquids. Its product portfolio spans circular vibrating screens (MR, MSC, ROTOWEST, WESTON models), tumbler screens (VAN), rectangular screens (VRU, VRU Hybrid, VRR), centrifugal screeners (TURBOWEST), spiral elevators (EVS), fluidized bed dryers/coolers (LF), and the Vibrowest Ultrasonic 3.0 system for sub-25-micron screening. The Ultrasonic 3.0 platform, which applies high-frequency vibration directly to mesh wire, is the company's flagship technical differentiator and is paired with touch screen controls and remote connectivity for technical assistance.

The company serves ten-plus industrial verticals, with primary focus on food, pharmaceutical, chemical, and plastics processing, and secondary exposure to metal powders, additive manufacturing/3D printing, powder coatings, mining, recycling, and agriculture. Its machines are constructed in stainless steel (304, 316L, 316Ti) and are available with ATEX, FDA, GMP, and IQ-OQ certifications, enabling qualification for regulated environments. Revenue is generated almost exclusively through direct B2B sales of custom-engineered equipment, accessories, spare parts, and technical services including laboratory testing at the Solaro facility. Pricing is quote-based with no public price list, and distribution is exclusively direct (phone, email, website contact, reserved customer portal), with no resellers or e-commerce channel. The company is privately held with Giovanni Erba as legal representative, no disclosed institutional investors, and a share capital of €100,000, and is led by a small team of 11-50 employees.

Commercial reach is supported by a multilingual website in six languages (Italian, English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese) and a consistent presence at major European industry trade fairs including K Fair Düsseldorf, Solids Parma, PRSE Amsterdam, EQUIPLAST Barcelona, FIP Lyon, and PLAST Milan. The company has no disclosed revenue, funding rounds, acquisitions, or partnerships, reflecting its character as a long-standing, independently operated niche industrial equipment manufacturer.
