What Synergon does

Synergon S.p.A. is a privately held Italian industrial distributor headquartered in Milan, founded in 1985 as the exclusive Italian representative of INDEX-TRAUB (CNC turning, multi-spindle lathes, turn-mill centers) and HATEBUR-CARLO SALVI (hot and cold forming presses). The company expanded its portfolio to include metal additive manufacturing through distributing ONE CLICK METAL (compact LPBF systems, 100% owned by INDEX Group) and ADDUp (industrial LPBF and DED systems). Its position as exclusive Italian distributor has been continuously maintained since 1985, serving enterprise manufacturers across automotive, aerospace, defense, electromechanical, oil and gas, precision mechanics, medical, drones, and fashion sectors.

The technical portfolio spans multi-spindle CNC lathes (INDEX MS16 through MS52 series, TRAUB MS12-4), sliding headstock lathes (TRAUB TNL series), turn-mill centers (INDEX G160 through G500 series), and metal 3D printing systems ranging from entry-level One Click Metal BASEline (200W laser, 150x150x150mm build) to industrial AddUp FormUp350 (4-laser LPBF, 350x350x350mm) and Modulo 400 DED (5-axis, 650x400x400mm). Synergon multi-spindle CNC lathes represent over 50% of company revenue, with the technology portfolio delivered through consultative technical-commercial engagement including feasibility studies, machine installation, operator training, and ongoing after-sales support.

The business model is hardware distribution combined with professional services. Revenue is generated through direct sales of new industrial machinery, used/refurbished INDEX machines (INDEX Refit program), spare parts, consumables (metal powder, etc.), and post-sale services including installation, training, programming support, preventive and corrective maintenance, and remote teleservice with dedicated PLC connectivity. The customer base is exclusively Italian with no third-party resellers or e-commerce channels; all sales flow through the in-house technical-commercial team. The company is ISO 9001:2015 certified, employs 11-50 internal staff including specialized technicians with near-zero turnover, and reports 2025 results in line with targets despite a challenging mechanical industry environment.
