DAB

What DAB does

DAB S.r.l. is a privately held Italian manufacturer of industrial antivibration mounting systems, founded in 1986 and headquartered in Pieve Emanuele, Milan. The company produces rubber-to-metal bonded components using vulcanization processes, combining elastomers (natural rubber, NBR, EPDM, silicone) with galvanized or stainless-steel (AISI 304/316) metal parts. Its catalog spans cylindrical mounts (Tipo E, I, PM, PF, PPM, EI variants), bell-shaped SUCON mounts with protective metal caps, the SURMAC and SURMAC RINFORZATI families of integrated leveling feet for heavy machinery (350–6000 kg axial loads), flanged H65/H80 mounts for very high compression loads, Spring Bracket universal supports, chrome-plated foot mounts, rubber mats and bars, collars, and microsmorzatori micro-dampers for electronics. The product range is sold across nine vertical sectors: agricultural, electromedical, railway, nautical, food, HVAC/outdoor units, pumping systems and autoclaves, machine tools/CNC, and power generator sets.

DAB operates a direct, sales-led go-to-market model with a technical-commercial team that provides engineering consultation on load, frequency, and chemical-environment selection. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; sales are conducted via phone, email, and website contact forms, with the company exporting from its single Italian facility to both domestic and international customers. The company carries three proprietary sub-brands (SURMAC, SUCON, Spring Brackets), maintains an active SEO- and content-driven website with a technical blog, and reports no parent company, no institutional investors, no funding rounds, no disclosed M&A, and no partnerships in the available source material.

Revenue is not disclosed. The company is structured as an Italian S.r.l. (private limited company) operating as an independent, family- or founder-led specialist. Its 40-year continuous operation, breadth of elastomer formulations, and sub-brand architecture indicate a stable niche industrial manufacturer rather than a venture-backed or acquisitive entity.

Core offering

DAB manufactures and sells industrial antivibration mounting systems made through rubber-to-metal vulcanization. The product line includes cylindrical rubber mounts (in natural rubber, silicone, and stainless steel), bell-shaped SUCON mounts with protective metal caps, SURMAC adjustable leveling feet for heavy machinery (350-6000 kg axial capacity), flanged mounts for high compression loads, Spring Brackets, chrome-plated feet, rubber mats/bars/collars, and micro-dampers for electronic control units. Products are sold to industrial B2B customers with engineering consultation for application-specific selection.

Product overview

DAB is a manufacturer of industrial vibration isolation systems in rubber and metal, producing a broad portfolio of standardized and customizable antivibration components. The product range is organized around several core form factors: cylindrical rubber mounts (Tipo E, I, PM, PF, PPM, EI) available in natural rubber, silicone, and stainless steel; bell-shaped SUCON mounts protecting elastomer from industrial fluids; the SURMAC and SURMAC RINFORZATI lines of leveling feet for heavy machinery (350–6000 kg); flanged mounts (H65/H80) for very high compression loads; Spring Brackets and Chrome-plated foot supports for universal and heavy-duty applications; rubber mats/pads, bars, strips, and collars for distributed or linear isolation; and microsmorzatori (micro-dampers) for sensitive electronic equipment. Products are applicable across agricultural, electromechanical, railway, nautical, food, HVAC/conditioning, pumping/autoclave, machine tool, and generator sectors.
