Luc & Bel

What Luc & Bel does

Luc & Bel is an Italian medical device component manufacturer headquartered in Carpi, Italy, operating as a private limited company (SRL) within the ARTEREX group alongside sister companies Modenplast and Kabo. Founded in June 2012, the company designs and manufactures precision polymer components and pre-assembled medical device parts — including polymer compounds, tubes, connectors, filters, and molded products — for fluid management applications. Core capabilities span mold design and manufacturing, injection molding conducted in ISO Class 8 clean rooms (expanded to 1,750 sqm from 1,200 sqm), and the in-house design and construction of automatic and semi-automatic assembly machines, supported by 30-plus years of collective team experience in medical device engineering.

The technology stack centers on 15 fully automatic injection molding machines (clamping force 80T–300T), Zeiss O-Inspect CNC-controlled 3D measuring systems compliant with ISO 80369-7 for luer cone components, and fully integrated operations from raw material feeding through assembly to warehouse and delivery. The total plant footprint reaches 5,000 sqm including clean rooms, a mold shop, an automatic assembly machine division, and a 600 sqm dedicated warehouse for semi-finished products. Operations are structured around distinct divisions — injection molding, automatic assembly machines, mold shop, automatic machine shop, raw material feeding, and warehouse and delivery — providing vertical integration from tooling to finished component.

Luc & Bel operates a B2B enterprise sales model with dedicated export ([email protected]) and domestic sales ([email protected]) channels, targeting top medical device corporations worldwide under custom manufacturing contracts with quote-based pricing. The go-to-market emphasizes direct enterprise engagement, COMPAMED trade fair participation, and group-level selling through the ARTEREX umbrella brand. Revenue is derived from custom manufacturing of single components and pre-assembled items, with the 2021 integration of Modenplast and 2022 integration of Kabo extending the addressable offering into polymer compounding and finished bags/semi-finished products.
