What Cason does

Cason Srl is a privately held Italian industrial machinery manufacturer founded in 1956 by Angelo Cason, headquartered in Montonate di Mornago (Varese province). The company operates three business units under the Cason Companies umbrella: Cason Slitters (the core franchise, offering more than 20 models of slitter rewinders across the Innova product family—double turret, dual shaft, compact, narrow web, and hygienic variants—plus auxiliary rewinding machines and core cutters), Cason Handling (automated reel unloading, weighing, bagging, labeling, and ABB-robot palletizing systems fully integrated with customer ERP), and Cason Textile (manual and automatic bobbin strippers for yarn and tube recovery). Technology differentiators include patented innovations such as the Tape&Go automatic rewinding cycle restart, the TAPELESS Rewinding Application (unveiled at drupa 2024), a patented bobbin stripper yarn removal process, and a pre-balancing vibration-control system enabling speeds up to 700 m/min.

The company sells tailor-made capital equipment to industrial converters across flexible packaging, thermoforming, beverage labeling, paper, and textile end-markets, with primary go-to-market executed through direct enterprise sales supported by a global agent network and major industry exhibitions (K, drupa, Plastimagen, Interplas). Key channel partners include Eurograv for the United Kingdom and Incotécnica for Mexico and Latin America. After-sales revenue is generated through remote installation/testing/training services, a 16-hour daily electronics engineering support window, machine relocation services, and prioritized spare parts supply; pricing is quote-based per configuration and customization level. Cason is family-controlled, with Ambrogio Cason serving as AD (Amministratore Delegato), and the company is celebrating its 70th anniversary in 2026 alongside a series of product launches and exhibition appearances. The cumulative installed base exceeds 2,600 slitter rewinder systems and 650+ handling plants across more than 40 countries.
