Mattei

What Mattei does

Mattei (legal entity Ing. Enea Mattei SpA) is an Italian industrial manufacturer founded in 1919 and headquartered in Milan, specializing exclusively in rotary vane compressor technology for compressed air systems. The company designs, manufactures, and sells a comprehensive portfolio organized into variable speed compressors (RVX i, RVD i, BLADE i, OPTIMA series), fixed speed compressors (CLASSIC ERC, BLADE, RVD, MAXIMA, RVX series), custom compressors for rail, road, OEM, gas, and aluminium applications, air treatment products (filtration, refrigerated and adsorption dryers), master controllers (Concerto, Quartetto), and control systems (Maestro XB/XS/XC). Underlying offerings include proprietary Xtreme Injection Technology, a Mattei Cloud monitoring portal, MYCARE extended warranty, and Mattei Academy training services.

Mattei serves industrial enterprise customers across 15+ verticals including manufacturing, healthcare/pharmaceutical, food, transport, chemical/petrochemical, OEM, mining, dry cleaning, biogas and technical gases, paper, plastics, aluminium, agriculture, woodworking, and automotive. Its value proposition rests on three claimed differentiators: a 100,000+ hour operational lifespan without major component replacement, up to 15% energy savings versus other rotary compressors via its variable speed i-Series, and the ability of its vane technology to improve efficiency over time rather than degrade. The company cites case histories with enterprise customers including Luxfer Gas Cylinders (compressors in service for 25+ years), Thermo King Berlin, and Spirax Sarco.

The business model combines direct enterprise field sales with a multi-tier global distribution architecture, including regional affiliates (Mattei Americas, Mattei UK, Mattei Suzhou), specialized vertical distributors (Mattei Rail for rail applications, MOVE for on-vehicle solutions), and a dedicated distributor portal. Revenue streams include hardware sales across compressor and air treatment lines, custom OEM solutions, after-sales services (extended warranty, spare parts, commissioning, training), and energy efficiency offerings. Pricing is quote-based for industrial systems and is not publicly disclosed. Mattei is a privately held company with no parent, institutional investor, or public listing referenced in the available data.
