What IMMMES does

IMMMES (legal entity I.M.M.M.E.S S.r.l.) is an Italian privately-held industrial equipment manufacturer headquartered in Campagna Lupia, in the Venice industrial district. The company designs, builds, and commissions modular industrial water treatment systems engineered primarily for the flat glass processing industry, complemented by a metal carpentry and structural steel division. Its flagship product is DTP (Deconcentrazione Tecnica Pressurizzata), a patented physical-dynamic solid separation and closed-loop recirculation platform that integrates multistage filtration, automatic sludge extraction and compaction, dual backup pumps, and PLC-driven HMI supervision with remote monitoring. The product family is completed by DTPS (an essential-tier variant), Filtropressa DGS (sludge filter press), OSM (reverse osmosis, 100 to 20,000+ liters/hour), Anteaone (paint-residue separation for screen printing), and Addolcitore (ion-exchange water softener), giving customers a modular path from single-machine integration to fully centralized water management.

IMMMES monetizes through custom-quoted, project-based hardware sales with multi-year contract structures, plus technical support services delivered via its IMBOX digital platform (ticketing, helpdesk, WhatsApp). Go-to-market relies on direct enterprise sales supported by a network of local agents and representatives across 55+ countries, supplemented by regular participation in major glass industry trade shows (Vitrum in Milan, Glasstec in Düsseldorf, Glasstech Poland and Mexico, China Glass, and Zak Glass Technology Expo in Mumbai). Primary end customers are flat glass manufacturers and processors running cutting, edging, drilling, CNC machining, washing, screen printing, and tempering lines; secondary customers include construction firms, public infrastructure clients (municipalities of Venice and Montegrotto Terme), and civil/commercial facilities requiring water softening. The metal carpentry sub-brand, IMMMES Strutture, delivers custom steel structures, light steel frame buildings, roofing, stairs and elevators, and heritage restoration — illustrated by reference projects including Grand Tower Frankfurt, Al Hamra Tower Kuwait, and restoration of the 12th-century Clock Tower in Venice-Mestre.

The company is privately held, with no external funding rounds, parent company, or subsidiary structure disclosed in the source material. It claims 500+ DTP systems installed worldwide, 200,000+ cubic meters of water treated daily, and 30+ years of operating history. Certifications include UNI EN ISO 9001:2015 for the water softener line. Leadership consists of CEO Joseph Comberlato; no other management bios are disclosed. The firm remains owner-/family-controlled with no public listing, no M&A activity, and no disclosed revenue.
