Irmie Impianti

What Irmie Impianti does

Irmie Impianti S.r.l. is an Italian privately-held plant engineering company founded in 1993 and based in Villafranca di Verona, Italy, operating with 11-50 employees. It designs and manufactures custom-engineered test benches, brake testing equipment, static converters, and energy storage solutions for the global railway industry, serving metro and rail operators (e.g., RATP Paris Metro lines 1 and 7), high-profile rail infrastructure projects (e.g., Renfe on the Haramain High-Speed Railway in Saudi Arabia), train manufacturers, and railway infrastructure companies.

Its product portfolio is organised around four core lines: (1) test benches for reduction gears, compressors, converters, and motors with manual and automatic test cycles and continuous monitoring of vibrations, temperatures, and electrical parameters; (2) brake testing equipment centred on the Mobile Brake Testing Unit (MBTU), available in standard and portable trolley variants compliant with UIC543-1, using Bluetooth force-measurement interfaces; (3) static converters and power supply systems, including a 1.5 MW two-container system converting 3 kV DC to 25 kV AC 50Hz with integrated SCADA, plus a 600KW power supply with adjustable output up to 2100Vdc compliant with EN 50163; and (4) energy storage solutions for railway conversion substations. Underlying platforms combine AC/DC conversion, DC-DC chopper regulation, SCADA control, and integration with thermal cameras, vibration sensors, and customizable software.

Revenue is generated through project-based one-time equipment sales and recurring engineering and maintenance services, including design, commissioning, and training performed by technicians on customer sites worldwide. Go-to-market is sales-led with active participation at major international rail trade shows (InnoTrans, NT EXPO, Exporail, Rail Live, TRAKO, Expoferroviaria, Portugal Railway Summit) and a regional channel partner network covering Brazil (Zumm), Mexico (SIM IMPEX), Turkey (Bayraktar), Portugal (Campal), and Spain (ACYGS).
