What Essepigi does
Essepigi S.r.l., founded in 1973 in Terre Roveresche (province of Pesaro Urbino, Italy), designs, produces, and commercializes PC-controlled industrial machines and automated production plants for processing wooden door frames and panels. The company holds innovations that have become European patent references for its sector and has been exclusively focused on the door manufacturing market for over 50 years, originating from the conversion of a 1960s manufacturer of double cutting-off machines and introducing the world's first combined cutting-and-drilling machines in 1974.
The product portfolio comprises three core machine series — Horizon (Plus, Plus Panel Kit, Omnia, Est), Doormatic (standard, Bridge, Bridge Evolution), and Faster — plus modular add-ons for hardware assembling, gasket insertion (including fireproof gaskets), and roller conveyor automation. Underlying technology centers on industrial-PC control with simultaneous multi-operation machining (lock cases, anuba/invisible/book/pivot hinge seats, contouring, window openings), ERP/MES system interfacing, and integration with KUKA industrial robotics for twin-panel processing and complete turnkey production lines.
Essepigi sells custom-configured machinery through direct sales from its Italian headquarters, an international dealer network (JJ Smith Woodworking Machinery in the UK and Jovas Tech Solutions in India), and recurring participation in major industry trade fairs including LIGNA (Hannover), Xylexpo (Milan), Holz-Handwerk (Nuremberg), Indiawood (Bangalore), and the W Exhibition (Birmingham). Revenue is generated through quote-based one-time industrial machinery sales under multi-year contract lifecycles, with ongoing after-sales service and customer relationship management. The company is privately held with no external investors and reports 11–50 employees as of the most recent available data.
