Maicopresse

What Maicopresse does

Maicopresse S.p.A. is a private Italian manufacturer of horizontal cold-chamber die-casting machines (280–6,500 tons clamping force) and plastic injection moulding machines (180–5,000 tons), founded in 1975 in Borgosatollo (Brescia) and headquartered at a 14,000 m² facility. Its product platform is built on proprietary HYBRID (hydraulic-electric hybrid with SIEMENS motion control) and ELECTRIC (electro-hydrostatic EPU injection) technologies, plus a portfolio of granted patents covering toggle clamping, die locking (SIBLOC), nitrogen-pressure compensation, inverter-based hydraulic cooling (E-Version), and forged-steel platens with stainless-steel cladding. Through the 2025 incorporation of IROBI S.r.l., the company also produces peripheral automation including loaders, lubricators, anthropomorphic and Cartesian robots, and complete integrated working cells.

The company operates a direct enterprise sales motion: high-value, custom-tailored industrial machinery is quoted and sold directly to end-user manufacturers in plastics processing (furniture, garden, construction, packaging, logistics) and die-casting/foundries serving automotive (e.g., Teksid Aluminum / FCA Group) and industrial segments, with no reseller or distributor network. Revenue streams comprise hardware sales of new machines, automation systems, and spare parts, plus professional services including on-site technical support (24-hour response in Europe, 48-hour worldwide), remote teleservice via a proprietary smartphone app, preventive maintenance, and machine revamping/overhauling. Pricing is custom-quoted and not publicly disclosed.

Maicopresse is family-owned (Busi family, descendants of founders Mario Busi and Mario Spotti), retains €2,000,000 in share capital, employs approximately 110 people, and holds UNI EN ISO 9001:2015 certification (March 2022). International visibility is maintained through recurring attendance at major trade fairs (PLAST Milan, Euroguss Nuremberg, GIFA and K Fair Düsseldorf, Ankiros Istanbul, FENAF Brazil) rather than through disclosed international subsidiaries.
