GP di Piazzon

What GP di Piazzon does

GP di Piazzon Srl is a privately held Italian industrial equipment manufacturer founded in 1975 and headquartered in Valdagno, Vicenza. The company designs and manufactures in-house a complete portfolio of bulk material handling equipment, including large outdoor and indoor storage silos (up to 150 m³), vertical screw mixers (1-100 m³), screw conveyors, Big-Bag loading/unloading frames, pneumatic push loading units, complete transport systems, and storage tanks/cisterns, available in stainless steel, aluminum, and carbon steel. Equipment is engineered to customer specifications, with a stated competitive position built on a 24-meter vertical assembly tower enabling MIG/MAG and TIG welding of large monolithic stainless steel and aluminum structures, and on UNI EN 1090-1 FPC certification (Certificate No. 2942-CPR-0039) enabling CE marking for European market access.

The company operates a sales-led B2B go-to-market, selling directly to manufacturing end-users across five verticals: pharmaceutical, food processing, plastics, general industrial, and rubber/moulding. Revenue is generated through two streams: hardware sales of custom-engineered equipment and professional services that include consulting, design, installation, on-site repair, scheduled maintenance, and spare parts supply via a warehouse with national and international courier partnerships. Pricing is quote-based, reflecting the custom nature of each project.

While the company has historically concentrated on the Italian market, production has shifted predominantly to international customers in recent years. The multilingual website (Italian and English), global after-sales service capability, and Industry 4.0-compatible programmable controllers on transport systems indicate a deliberate orientation toward cross-border industrial customers. The company is family or founder-controlled, with no disclosed external investors, parent company, subsidiaries, M&A activity, or patent portfolio.

Core offering

GP di Piazzon designs, manufactures, and services industrial equipment for the storage, mixing, and pneumatic transport of bulk materials (powders, granules, flakes, liquids). The product range includes outdoor and indoor storage silos, vertical screw mixers, screw conveyors, Big-Bag load/unload frames, push-loading units, integrated transport systems, and storage tanks/cisterns, built in stainless steel, aluminum, or carbon steel with Industry 4.0 integration capabilities. Equipment is custom-engineered to customer specifications for pharmaceutical, food, plastics, industrial, and rubber/moulding sectors.

Product overview

GP di Piazzon is an industrial equipment manufacturer specializing in storage, mixing, and transport systems for bulk materials. The company operates as a single-product industrial machinery manufacturer with nine interconnected core products: silos and storage plants (outdoor and indoor versions), vertical screw mixers, screw conveyors, Big-Bag loading/unloading frames, pneumatic push loading units, transport systems, and storage tanks/cisterns. These products are designed to work as integrated systems within manufacturing plants, serving sectors including pharmaceutical, food, plastic, industrial, and rubber/moulding industries. The product portfolio covers the complete material handling workflow from intake (Big-Bag frames, push loading units) through storage (silos, tanks) and processing (mixers) to transport (screw conveyors, pneumatic systems), all manufactured in stainless steel, aluminium, or carbon steel with Industry 4.0 compatible control systems.
