What Jobs does

Jobs Automazione S.p.A. is an Italian manufacturer of high-performance CNC milling machines and automated milling systems, founded in 1979 and headquartered in Piacenza, Italy. The company operates as the umbrella entity for five historical Italian machine tool brands — Jobs (1979), Rambaudi (1945), Sachman (1962), Sigma (1950), and IMAS (1948) — all consolidated onto the Piacenza site between 2014 and 2021 under the FFG (Fair Friend Group) Europe & Americas conglomerate. The product portfolio spans portal and gantry milling centres (Linx, Speeder, Ever, Jomax, Tarkus, Tarkus 2.0), horizontal/vertical milling machines, mill-turn machines (Ever 5 Millturn), vertical machining centres (Sigma families), drill and trim centres (Robodrim for the F35 wing box), and laser-based additive manufacturing and hardening systems (Laserspeeder). Proprietary technology includes the Dual Frame HV gantry architecture, 20 years of linear motor manufacturing experience, the patent-pending BUSS automatic head changing system, and the CompofleX flexible tooling system for composite parts. The company holds ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, and ISO 45001:2023 certifications and received EcoVadis Bronze in May 2026.

The business model is enterprise capital equipment sales with a service annuity: revenue is generated through (i) machine tool sales, (ii) engineered turnkey plant projects, and (iii) aftermarket services including technical consulting, maintenance, and spare parts. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, consistent with high-value, configurable industrial machinery. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales with direct offices in France (Saint Priest), Germany (Augsburg), the United States (Allen Park, MI), and China (Beijing); approximately 70% of production is exported, signalling a primarily international B2B customer base. Marketing combines the company website, LinkedIn, YouTube product demonstrations, and event-driven promotion at shows such as EMO Hannover.

Jobs serves three principal segments: industrial manufacturing (general engineering, energy, earth & sea transport, moulds & dies), aerospace and defence (aero structures, aero engines, skins & panels, space and defence — including the F35 program), and automotive (design and prototyping, car body parts, sport and racing cars). Named reference customers include BMW Group (Laserspeeder additive manufacturing), Cecomp Group (30+ year relationship, aerospace and automotive components), GAI Spa (wine bottling machinery), Tecnologie Meccaniche MDM (precision engineering), and aerospace manufacturers on the F35 fighter program (Robodrim wing box drilling). The company employs approximately 170 people at the consolidated Piacenza site and operates without external institutional investors as a wholly owned subsidiary of FFG Group.
