CMB

What CMB does

CMB S.R.L. S.U. is an Italian industrial machinery manufacturer founded in 1948 in Povolaro, Vicenza, and now headquartered in San Martino di Lupari, in the province of Padua. The company designs, manufactures, and installs machines and turnkey plants for the treatment of flours, cereals, and granular products, serving four primary industrial verticals: animal feed, flour milling, pasta manufacturing, and chemical production. Its product portfolio spans eight equipment categories including transport and dosing systems (screw feeders, bucket elevators, chain conveyors, pneumatic conveyors), flour storage silos, cleaning and disinfestation machines, mixing and distribution equipment, grinding and crushing machinery (including its heritage toothed blade mill derived from the original 1948 Frangitutto invention), pre-assembled units, and dust aspiration and filtration systems.

The company's underlying technology is rooted in mechanical engineering rather than software, with proprietary features including centrifugal disinfestation (impact-based pest elimination), self-cleaning fabric bag filtration using 6-bar compressed air jets, and configurable pasta scrap recovery systems capable of reintegrating up to 15% of total production. CMB operates under the direction and coordination of parent entity Cusinato Group S.R.L., alongside sister company Cusinato Giovanni Srl. Revenue is generated primarily through custom-quoted industrial machinery sales with multi-year contract cadences, supplemented by periodic maintenance services, post-sale support, and consulting engagements. The go-to-market model relies on direct enterprise field sales, a website quote request form, and active participation in international trade shows including Interpack (Düsseldorf), IPACK-IMA (Milan), ProPak MENA (Cairo), EXPO PACK (Mexico City), and Djazagro (Algeria). The company reports a presence in 70+ countries with 200+ customers served over the last decade, and employs between 11 and 50 people.
