Eurotek

What Eurotek does

Eurotek S.r.l. is an Italian specialty manufacturer of precision extrusion heads (crossheads) used by industrial producers of electrical cables, wires, tubes, and optical fibers. Founded in 1993 and headquartered in Lanciano (Abruzzo), the company operates as a privately held Italian S.r.l. with 11-50 employees and claims 30+ years of activity, 25,000+ completed projects, and a customer footprint spanning 75+ countries.

The core product line comprises 12+ named extrusion head series (FC/FT, ECFLR, ECMR, DS/3S, MH, PEEK, PA, TH, THS, TT, OF, TCP/TCPR) covering processing of thermoplastics, fluoropolymers, technopolymers, polyamide/nylon, rubber, silicone, and optical fibers across a diameter range from sub-1mm to 420mm. The technical backbone is an in-house rheological flow simulation capability used to predict polymer behavior, pressure, temperature, and flow velocity before tooling is built, combined with vertically integrated precision mechanical processing (five-axis milling, micro-turning, EDM, polishing, laser marking). Supporting offerings include extrusion tooling (tips, dies, adapters in stainless steel, tungsten carbide, and PCD), spare parts, accessories (air wipes, by-pass modules, quick color change, connecting flanges), rheological engineering studies, and on-site commissioning and training.

The business model is custom quotation-based B2B equipment sales with an aftermarket tail of spare parts and engineering services. Pricing is opaque and project-driven, with no public price list. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales supported by an international agent network and multi-language customer support (Italian, French, English, Spanish, Russian, Ukrainian). Named customers include Tier-1 cable OEMs Nexans and Prysmian alongside AO Ekspokabel, Technitrace, Bestowin, and The Toro Company, with primary vertical focus on cable manufacturers and secondary segments in wire, tube, fiber optic, and offshore energy.

• Nextrom (Rosendahl Nextrom Group): Supplies complete extrusion lines for power cables, telecom cables and optical fibers, including in-house crosshead/die technology. Comparable as a broader incumbent serving the same cable and fiber-optic end customers, though operating at line-system rather than component level.
• Davis-Standard: Large US-based supplier of extrusion systems for wire and cable, pipe, tubing, film, and sheet. Comparable because it serves the same cable, tube and pipe customers with broader machinery platforms that include crosshead/die subsystems overlapping with Eurotek's portfolio.
• Parkinson Technologies: US-based supplier of machinery for extrusion, web handling and converting, including dies and winding equipment. Comparable as a diversified extrusion-machinery incumbent with component offerings that overlap with Eurotek's tooling portfolio.
• Maillefer (Nexans Extrusion): Finnish-origin (now part of Nexans) supplier of cable extrusion lines and crossheads for power, telecom and fiber-optic cables. Comparable as a turnkey extrusion-line incumbent with overlapping crosshead technology targeting the same OEMs as Eurotek.
• Theysohn: German supplier of extrusion technology for pipes, profiles, and cable covering, including crosshead and die technology. Comparable as a European extrusion-tooling and systems peer serving profile and cable producers.
