BMET

What BMET does

BMET S.r.l. is a privately held Italian custom sheet metal manufacturer headquartered in Noale, Venice, providing spin forming (tornitura in lastra), 2D CO2 and 3D fiber laser cutting, deep drawing (imbutitura profonda), 3D design, and mold/die production to industrial customers. The firm works with steel, stainless steel, iron, copper, brass, and aluminum in thicknesses from 0.5mm to 3mm, with spin-forming capacity up to 1,000mm diameter and deep-drawing work planes up to 1,600x1,300mm. Its primary served vertical is lighting, with additional exposure to furniture/interior design, medical equipment, automotive, and general mechanical engineering.

The business operates as a job-order (conto terzi) contract manufacturer with quote-based, multi-year pricing and free initial design consulting. GTM is direct sales supported by an in-house technical office, supplemented by a partner-network model in which BMET acts as order manager for complex multi-company projects. The technical differentiator is an integrated CAD-to-CNC workflow using cloud-based OnShape, combined with a custom robotic-arm manipulator equipped with cameras and distance sensors for automated positioning, and an internal order-entry and scheduling management system.

Ownership is family-held by the Bagordo family, with co-owners Alessio and Sara Bagordo having succeeded founder Maurizio Bagordo in 2014. In January 2020, BMET acquired Systemec to form Systemec Group srl, adding precision mechanics, milling, and drilling capabilities and opening new verticals (automotive, oleodynamics, food, pharmaceutical). The company markets itself through a trilingual (Italian/English/French) website, technical blog, LinkedIn, and YouTube, and won a Silver Award at the 2024 C3 Awards for its Best Corporate Campaign video.

Core offering

BMET is a contract manufacturer that processes flat sheet metal into custom components using three core techniques: spin forming (tornitura in lastra) for rounded/concave axisymmetric forms, 2D CO2 and 3D fiber laser cutting for precision holes and patterns, and deep drawing (imbutitura profonda) for seamless concave products. The company also provides 3D CAD design, custom mold/die production, and accessory machining (edging, spinning, threading), serving B2B customers in lighting, furniture, medical, automotive, and mechanical engineering sectors.

Product overview

BMET is a manufacturing company specializing in custom sheet metal processing. The product portfolio centers on three core metalworking services: Spin forming (tornitura in lastra) for creating axisymmetric rounded shapes, Laser cutting (taglio laser) using both CO2 and 3D fiber technology for precision cutting, and Deep drawing (imbutitura profonda) for producing concave metal products. These core services are supported by 3D Design capabilities for technical drawing and modeling, Mold production for series manufacturing, and Accessory processes for additional machining. The company operates primarily in the Triveneto region of Italy and serves diverse sectors including lighting, furniture, automotive, medical, and general metalworking.

Functional benefit

Brands

• Systemec Group: A subsidiary created from the acquisition of Systemec, specializing in precision mechanics and metal milling operations

Products and services

• Spin forming (Tornitura in lastra) A metalworking technique that transforms flat sheet metal into three-dimensional axisymmetric products using specialized CNC-controlled lathes with custom molds. Creates rounded and concave symmetrical forms for sectors including lighting, furniture, and mechanical industries. Capable of producing parts up to 1000mm diameter and 0.5–3mm thickness.
• Laser cutting (Taglio laser) High-precision laser cutting service using 2D CO2 laser for flat materials and 3D fiber laser for pre-formed materials. Creates holes, cuts, and customized patterns for functional and decorative purposes on iron, stainless steel, aluminum, plexiglass, and wood. Includes integrated camera monitoring within automated closed-chamber systems. 3D laser cutting handles 0.8–3mm thickness.
• Deep drawing (Imbutitura profonda) Metal deformation process using mechanical and hydraulic presses where sheet metal is pressed by a punch against a die to create concave-shaped products such as containers, vases, pots, and lamp shades without unsightly welds. Maximum work plane 1600x1300mm and 0.5–3mm thickness.
• 3D Design (Progettazione 3D) Internal technical department offering 3D modeling services for laser cutting operations, with cloud-based CAD (OnShape) feeding drawings directly into CNC machinery. Reduces time and minimizes error margins. For complex projects, BMET acts as order manager coordinating across its partner network.
• Mold production (Produzione stampi) Custom mold and die creation for series production, both for sheet metal spinning and cold stamping. Works with steel, iron, copper, brass, and aluminum materials for medium and large dimensions, supporting customer series manufacturing needs.

• AMADA: Japanese global manufacturer of sheet metal machinery (lasers, punches, press brakes, automation). Comparable as a broad incumbent in the metalworking ecosystem BMET operates within, serving similar OEM and contract fabricator customers.
• Bystronic: Swiss-based global supplier of laser cutting, bending, and automation systems for sheet metal processing, with growing service bureau operations. Comparable as a player in the same custom sheet metal fabrication ecosystem BMET serves, though at much larger scale and equipment-vendor oriented.
• Salvagnini Italia: Italian-headquartered global manufacturer of sheet metal fabrication machinery (panel benders, laser cutting systems, FMS). Comparable to BMET through deep Italian roots in metalworking automation and serving overlapping customer industries (lighting, automotive, furniture).
• Georg Fischer: Swiss industrial group with precision casting, machining, and metal components operations serving automotive, industrial, and machinery customers. Comparable as a European precision-metal-components incumbent serving overlapping end-markets such as automotive and mechanical engineering.
