Emmebi

What Emmebi does

Emmebi (legal entity EMMEBI S.r.l.) is an Italian industrial machinery manufacturer founded in 1972 by Achille Mauro and headquartered in Pavia di Udine, Friuli Venezia Giulia. The company designs, builds, and installs custom automation systems for aluminum profile extrusion plants, operating along three integrated product lines: Automation Systems (basket handling, de-stackers/stackers, bridge cranes, scrap shears for complete extrusion, anodizing, and painting plants), Packing Systems (wrapping machines, taping machines, robotic packaging systems, case sealers, complementary equipment), and Finishing Systems (brushing and Pulilux polishing machines).

The technical core of Emmebi's offering is its vision-guided robotic packaging platform (eVision, first-generation since 2021; E-Vision II since 2025) which uses computer vision to identify profile geometry, pick profiles with custom gripping tools while protecting surfaces, and assemble master bundles with interleaving and stretch-film edge wrap. The product portfolio is largely modular and configured to customer requirements (Pulilux 4999FC/1999FC polishing units, MAN taping machines, Compact spiral wrapping machines, Quickwood batten loaders, FL 360 case sealers), all manufactured in-house in Italy and pre-assembled and tested at the Pavia di Udine facility before shipment.

Emmebi sells exclusively through a direct enterprise field-sales motion with no resellers or distributors. Revenue is generated through one-time equipment sales priced on custom specification plus installation, commissioning, and after-sales services, structured as multi-year contracts. The customer base is fully vertical: aluminum extrusion, anodizing, and powder-coating companies, with named enterprise accounts including Keymark, Indinvest LT, Cortizo, Purso, 3M, Western Extrusions, Capral, Al Jaber Aluminium Extrusions, MKW Group, Sepalumic, and APS Arosio, across more than 40 countries in Europe, the Americas, the Middle East, Asia, Oceania, and Africa. Marketing is concentrated in flagship industry trade shows (ET'24, ALUMINIUM 2024, AAEC Brisbane 2025) plus LinkedIn, Instagram, Vimeo, and newsletter channels.
