What Ceccato does

Ceccato is an Italian industrial machinery manufacturer specializing in compressed air solutions for industrial and professional applications. Founded in 1936 and headquartered in Montecchio Maggiore, Italy, the company operates as a brand under MultiAir International S.r.l. within the Atlas Copco Group's Compressor Technique business area. Its core product portfolio spans rotary screw compressors (available in fixed speed, variable speed, and permanent magnet motor variants with direct, gear, or belt transmission), piston compressors for intermittent-duty use, oil-free compressors (CleanAir, SpiralAir, and WIS product lines), and bstAIR pressure boosters rated up to 40 bar for high-pressure applications such as laser cutting, PET blowing, and plastics.

The company sells a full air treatment ecosystem alongside its compressors, including refrigerant and adsorption dryers, line filters, air receivers, condensate management, and piping systems. Air production is managed through ICONS and ECOntrol6 controllers with remote monitoring and connectivity features. The revenue model is primarily hardware sales, supplemented by original spare parts, branded lubricants (Fluidtech, Rotair, Altair), multi-year service contracts (SCOPE and SCOPE XT covering 3- or 5-year risk), rental/leasing in Italy, and the AIRchitet compressed air audit service. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with an online Payback Estimator tool supporting customer ROI calculations.

Ceccato serves a horizontal mix of end markets including industrial manufacturing, chemical and pharmaceutical, food and beverage, automotive, mining, electronics, medical and dental, construction, and professional/DIY users. The company reaches these customers through an international network of authorized distributors, dealers, and Technical Assistance Centres (CATs) across at least nine regional markets, supported by localized websites. With 101-250 employees, Ceccato functions as a focused compressed air brand leveraging the global infrastructure of Atlas Copco Group.
