Gartec

What Gartec does

Gartec SRL is an Italian manufacturer and distributor of fluid management equipment headquartered in Castronno (Varese), Italy, with a secondary office in Cosne-sur-Loire, France operated as GARTEC GITEC. Founded around 2000 and operating for over 25 years, the company designs, manufactures, and sells pumping solutions (pneumatic, electric, manual, and AODD diaphragm pumps), hose reels, electric cable reels, fluid recovery systems, dispensing guns, distribution kits, equipped workstations, storage solutions, and accessories. Its target customers are automotive workshops and repair shops, industrial manufacturing companies, chemical and artisanal operators, and agricultural businesses, with a primary emphasis on Made-in-Italy manufacturing and workplace safety compliance, including ATEX Zone 1 certification (II 2/2 GD IIB T 135°C) on AODD pump variants for explosive atmospheres.

The company's core technology platform centers on the OIL COP computerized management system, which electronically controls, measures, records, and traces each fluid distribution event against operators, stations, or production lines. The Oilcop Gateway Windows software extends this capability with bidirectional data exchange to external Dealer Management Systems (DMS) via txt/csv file transfer and REST API (json) in both server and client modes, positioning the offering within Industry 4.0 monitoring frameworks. AODD pump products cover flow rates from 30 to 1280 l/min and materials including polypropylene, aluminium, AISI 316 stainless steel, fiberglass, and UHMW-PE. Custom-engineered kits such as the NKIND1106 lubricating oil transfer kit demonstrate ad hoc product design capability for specific customer requirements.

Gartec operates a B2B sales-led, hardware-centric revenue model with direct distribution in Italy and France and a multilingual digital presence (Italian, English, French, Spanish, German) supporting pan-European outreach. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Revenue is generated from hardware sales of fluid management equipment and integrated systems, and the company has no disclosed institutional funding, parent company, patents, or publicly listed awards; it appears closely held. In 2024–2025, Gartec launched a new Industry Division, expanded the AODD pump product line, and released custom industrial solutions such as the NKIND1106 kit, signaling a deliberate expansion beyond its historical automotive workshop base into broader industrial applications.
