What Pluritec® does

Pluritec® S.r.l. is an Italian privately held capital equipment manufacturer founded in 1968 and headquartered in Burolo (Turin), Italy. The company designs and builds high-end machinery for printed circuit board (PCB) and printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) manufacturing, serving PCB fabricators, PCBA assembly operations, and metal credit card manufacturers across more than 20 countries. Its product portfolio spans the full PCB fabrication workflow: mechanical drilling and routing machines (EVO, C-series, D-series, Golden XL), X-ray tooling and inspection systems (Inspecta Combo, S1, SX, S1-TWIN, X-Measure, X-Vision, X-CUT), wet processing equipment (SCRUBBEX, PUMIFLEX, DES, SES, MECETCHBOND — inherited via the 2001 IS International Supplies acquisition and 2017 OCL integration), spray coating systems (ECOSPRAY), PCBA depaneling machines (EVO DEPANEL), card extraction systems (INSPECTA XC), and modular automation (panel loading/unloading, robotic cells, in-line buffers).

The technology foundation rests on linear-motor-driven motion systems, air-bearing spindles up to 250,000 rpm, HD CCD cameras with adaptive multicolor lighting, micro-focus X-ray sources, and depth-controlled drilling/routing with accuracy down to ±10 microns. Patented ONE STEP X-Ray drilling and routing — combining real-time X-ray target detection with mechanical drilling in a single operation — is a signature differentiator. The X-CUT platform collapses lamination-to-drilling process time from hours to minutes while reducing labor by 80%.

Pluritec operates a direct enterprise sales model from its Italian headquarters, supplemented by wholly-owned subsidiaries in France (Pluritec France S.A.R.L.), Hong Kong (Pluritec Industries Far East Ltd), and North America (Pluritec North America Ltd.), plus a deep network of regional sales agents (IEC for US/Canada, Gardien Europe for DACH/CEE, Viking Test for UK, UNI MICROTEK for Korea, RELITEC for India, AC SYNERGY for Singapore, Pro Circuito for Brazil, among others). Revenue is generated primarily through one-time capital equipment sales supplemented by aftermarket services: system maintenance, spare parts, spindle repair and exchange, software upgrades, training, accuracy certification, and service contracts. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. More than 3,000 systems have been installed worldwide across all continents.
