DimaSimma

What DimaSimma does

DimaSimma (legal name: DimaSimma Intralogistic Milano) is an Italian privately-held industrial automation company founded in the late 1960s, headquartered in Spilamberto (Modena) with a registered office in Milan. The company designs, engineers, and installs custom automatic warehouse systems and Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV/LGV) for industrial intralogistics, serving primarily the aluminum, steel, and PVC sectors as well as general industrial manufacturing customers worldwide.

Its product portfolio spans vertical drawer warehouses (ANT Store in 14 versions; EMS Elephant Modular Store with up to 180 tons capacity in 30 configurations), tower storage systems for sheet metal and long products (CTS Condor Tower Store up to 15 meters, ETS Elephant Tower Store, BHL Beehive Storage System), stacker-crane-based systems (Trasloelevatori up to 30 meters), automated overhead cranes (Carriponte Automatici), self-standing warehouses up to 35 meters (Magazzini Autoportanti), external vertical installations (Magazzini Esterni EMS), and AGV/LGV vehicles delivered through a partnership with Ballotti Sistemi. All systems are managed by a proprietary Warehouse Management Software that supports real-time inventory updates, FIFO/LIFO logic, host-system integration, and password-protected access control.

The business model combines project-based, one-time capital-equipment sales for engineered installations with recurring revenue from maintenance contracts and revamping/modernization services. DimaSimma sells through a consultative, direct enterprise sales motion, providing engineering feasibility studies and 3D simulations before project commitment. The company maintains a multilingual website in 8 languages and has participated in international trade fairs (e.g., EQUIPBAIE Paris 2021), supporting global project delivery. Revenue is not publicly disclosed and no funding rounds, acquisitions, or investor relationships are reported in the available data.
