What Ramallumin does

Ramallumin srl is an Italian manufacturer of capital equipment for textile warp preparation, founded in 1948 and headquartered in Magnago near Milan. The company designs and builds industrial machinery including creel systems (Standard, Magazine, Swivel/Frame, Carriage, V-Creel, Unwinding), direct warpers and beaming machines, sizing machines with stainless steel components, beam assembling machines, indigo dyeing and sizing lines for denim, drying and cooling cylinders, and an exclusive in-line coating system for technical textiles. Its machines serve seven primary application verticals: shirting and sheeting, terry towel, denim, wool, silk, filament, technical textiles, and glass fiber, with the latter two representing higher-growth industrial segments.

Technically, Ramallumin differentiates on extreme flexibility across yarn qualities (spun, filament, glass fiber), stainless steel sizing boxes for durability, a special braking system for uniform yarn tensile force during assembling, and Industry 4.0 integration for smart manufacturing. The company operates four manufacturing locations across northern Italy (Magnago, Legnano, Maslianico, Vanzaghello) and reports having sold 1,850+ machines to 930+ customers in 48 countries.

Commercially, Ramallumin generates revenue through direct enterprise field sales of custom-configured capital equipment with quote-based pricing and multi-year contract cadence. Distribution is direct to textile manufacturers, with a regional sales office in Kolhapur, India led by Sales Head Ajay A. Pise. The company operates as part of the Comerio Ercole / Fassi Group through the Tecnet technological competence hub, joined in 2017, alongside sister companies Beta and ATF srl. Membership in Acimit (Italian Textile Machinery Manufacturers Association) supports its industry positioning. No public revenue, funding, or valuation disclosures exist; the company is privately held within the group structure.

Products and services

• Creel Systems Yarn creel systems for spun yarns and filament yarns, available in Standard, Magazine, Swivel/Frame, Carriage, V-Creel, and Unwinding configurations. Used by textile manufacturers to feed yarns into beaming and sizing processes.
• Beaming Machines Direct warpers and beaming machines designed for uniform yarn tensile forces and high efficiency, including models for spun yarns, filament yarns, and glass fiber yarns. Used by textile manufacturers to transfer yarn from creels onto warp beams.
• Sizing Machines Sizing machines with stainless steel sizing boxes and squeezing rolls, featuring extreme flexibility and perfect sizing across a wide range of yarn qualities and chemicals for spun, filament, and glass fiber yarns. Used by textile manufacturers to apply protective size coating to warp yarns before weaving.
• Assembling Machines Beam assembling machines that combine different warper beams to achieve the total number of ends requested on weaver's beams, with special braking systems and movable beam creels. Used by textile manufacturers to consolidate multiple warp beams into a single weaver's beam.
• Indigo Dyeing Lines Flexible and efficient dyeing and sizing solutions for denim production, providing uniformly dyed and sized warps with support for different colors. Used by denim fabric producers requiring indigo dyeing and sizing lines.
• Drying and Cooling Cylinders Drying and cooling cylinders with drying towers for woven fabric, nonwoven, and warp applications, supporting steam, oil, and pressure water heating systems. Used by textile and nonwoven manufacturers for fabric finishing operations.
• Coating Machines Exclusive in-line coating solution for technical textiles that applies stability or special features to fabric directly from the weaving loom, suitable for small production runs and sampling. Used by manufacturers of industrial fabrics, geotextiles, and functional textiles.
