Inotec

What Inotec does

Inotec SRL is a privately held Romanian industrial fabricator, founded in 2002 and headquartered in Florești (Cluj county), that designs, manufactures and installs custom stainless steel process equipment and turnkey plants for breweries, dairies, beverage and food processors, pharmaceutical producers, cosmetics and detergent makers, and chemical operators. Its technical core centers on an in-house vertical tank manufacturing line with automated coil rolling, vertical welding and CNC polishing, complemented by orbital TIG welding with pickling and passivation (Orbitalum GF), and a range of frame-mounted, pre-assembled and pre-tested process skids that shorten on-site installation time at customer facilities. The offering spans five integrated lines: engineering and consulting (P&ID, 3D, commissioning), pre-assembled process units, stainless steel tanks and pressure vessels, on-site installation with NDT/quality control, and full turnkey project delivery.

The business model is project-based enterprise sales of one-off capital equipment plus associated engineering, installation and commissioning services, with no standard public pricing and no channel or reseller network. Revenue is generated through direct consultative engagement with industrial buyers across CEE and selected international markets, supported by an active trade-show presence (BrauBeviale, Korea International Beer Expo) and an in-house engineering team. Capability is anchored by a dense certification stack — ISO 9001:2015, EN ISO 3834-2, EN ISO 9606-1, PED 2014/68/EU with EN 13445-4 and AD2000, and ASME Section VIII Div. 1 (U-stamp, 2019) — qualifying the firm for pressure-equipment projects in regulated end markets. Capital structure is funded by two non-dilutive EU modernization grants (SMIS 113025 in 2018–2019; SMIS 310555 from June 2024 through February 2026) rather than external private equity, with no disclosed ownership changes, M&A, or leadership transitions in the source material.
