Vimacchine

What Vimacchine does

Vimacchine S.r.l. is a privately held Italian company headquartered in Vicenza that imports and distributes CNC machine tools to industrial manufacturers across Italy. Founded in 1995, the company operates as a single-point conduit for seven international brands — Hyundai WIA as the anchor partnership, supplemented by Microcut, Dahlih, Kafo, Hankook, Tezmaksan, and Cellro — spanning 3-axis and 5-axis vertical and horizontal machining centers, CNC lathes (horizontal, vertical, twin-turret, wheel/rim turning), tapping centers, multitasking turning/milling centers, and robotic loading/unloading automation. The portfolio is configurable across the major CNC control systems (Fanuc, Siemens, Heidenhain, Fagor, Mitsubishi, Selca), and the company supplements new equipment sales with a used CNC inventory and a ready-to-ship (Pronta Consegna) program.

The business model is project-based one-time equipment sale augmented by technical service. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; lead generation is driven primarily through an annual Open House at the Vicenza facility, a catalog website with quote-request forms, and direct enterprise field sales. Pre- and post-sale technical assistance is a documented value driver — including custom engineering contributions such as bespoke gripper systems engineered by Vimacchine staff for a Toyota Material Handling affiliate (L.T.E.) — and is cited repeatedly in customer testimonials as the principal reason for repeat purchases.

Customers are predominantly Italian SMBs and mid-market manufacturers across job shops (conto terzi), automotive suppliers, material handling, metal fabrication, and general CNC precision machining, with occasional enterprise accounts. Distribution is exclusively domestic (Italy), supported from Vicenza and a regional service point covering southern Italy. Headcount is in the 11-50 band; the company is independently owned with no disclosed investors or parent.

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• DMG MORI Italia: Italian subsidiary of DMG MORI, the world's largest CNC machine tool manufacturer, selling and servicing turning and machining centers directly to Italian manufacturers. Comparable because it competes head-to-head with Vimacchine's distributed brands for the same Italian SMB/mid-market capex budget.
• Okuma Italia: Italian subsidiary of Japanese CNC machine tool maker Okuma, distributing turning and machining centers with direct service in Italy. Comparable because it competes for the same enterprise/SMB Italian machining customer and offers a parallel manufacturer-direct alternative to distributor-led brands.
• Makino Italia: Italian presence of Japanese high-end CNC machine tool maker Makino, focused on horizontal machining centers and die/mold applications. Comparable as a competing premium CNC brand targeting Italian manufacturers with direct technical and service support.
• Yamazaki Mazak Italia: Italian arm of Japanese CNC machine tool giant Mazak, selling and servicing lathes and machining centers direct to Italian manufacturers. Comparable as a competing premium CNC supplier to the same Italian customer base that Vimacchine addresses with its Asian-brand portfolio.
• GF Machining Solutions Italia: Italian subsidiary of Swiss precision machine tool manufacturer GF Machining Solutions (formerly Georg Fischer). Comparable as a high-end CNC and EDM supplier serving Italian manufacturers with direct sales/service, offering an alternative premium positioning to Vimacchine's distributed Korean/Taiwanese brands.

Emerging players

• Hwacheon Italia: Italian distribution of South Korean CNC machine tool manufacturer Hwacheon. Comparable because it is a Korean CNC brand with overlapping product categories (machining centers, lathes) competing for the same Italian customers that Vimacchine's Hyundai WIA franchise targets.
• Doosan Machine Tools Europe: European operation of Korean CNC machine tool maker Doosan Machine Tools. Comparable as a competing Korean CNC brand with European distribution, directly contesting the value-price-point segment where Vimacchine positions Hyundai WIA and Microcut in Italy.

Regional players

• Jobs Italia (Jobs Group): Italian subsidiary of Swiss precision machine tool manufacturer Jobs Group (formerly Samputensili), producing thread whirling and gear-cutting machines. Comparable as a European manufacturer with direct Italian presence competing in adjacent CNC metalworking categories.

Direct peers

• Emco Italia: Italian arm of Austrian CNC turning and machining center manufacturer Emco. Comparable as a competing European CNC brand with a similar multi-tier price-point portfolio (entry through high-end) and a parallel Italy-based direct sales/service model targeting the same customer segments.
• Breton S.p.A. Italian industrial machinery manufacturer producing machining centers and material processing equipment from its northern Italy base. Comparable as a domestically-rooted Italian CNC machinery provider selling into the same SMB/mid-market industrial customer base.
