Boano

What Boano does

Boano Srl is an Italian contract precision machining company founded in 1952 in Turin and headquartered in Rivoli (Turin province), Italy, operating from an owned 1,600 square meter facility and employing approximately 35 professionals. The company specializes in high-precision turned and ground mechanical components delivered as made-to-order production runs, with capabilities spanning the full production cycle from co-design and prototyping through CNC turning, precision grinding, finishing, metrology, and logistics.

Its core technical asset is a machinery park organized into five integrated departments: a Turning Department with 27 CNC lathes (DMG MORI, BIGLIA, MORI SEIKI, TAKAMAZ, HWACHEON, HANWHA, ITS NORIS), 10 Index single-spindle lathes, and 2 multi-spindle lathes supporting bar feed up to Ø80 and chucking up to Ø400; a Grinding Department equipped with Monzesi and Tacchella machines covering OD/ID, centerless, cylindrical, polygon, and thread grinding; a Finishing Department with vibrating finishing, ultrasonic washing, passivation, and laser marking for Data Matrix traceability; a Logistics function running automated vertical warehouses integrated with ERP for Kanban-based fulfillment; and an Engineering/Prototype Department featuring dual-extrusion 3D printing of carbon, glass, and Kevlar-reinforced functional prototypes. Quality is governed by a UNI EN ISO 9001:2015-certified management system (held since 2000, valid through December 2027) and a controlled-environment metrology lab with 3D measuring, roughness, roundness, hardness, and Vici Vision optical measuring capability, staffed by four quality specialists.

Boano generates revenue exclusively through B2B contract manufacturing fees charged on custom-engineered components, with pricing handled via direct quote rather than published rates. Its go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, with co-design partnerships from the prototyping stage and targeting of seven industrial verticals: automotive, motorcycle, heavy equipment, medical, hydraulic systems, general mechanics, and aerospace. The company is privately held by its founders and operators with no disclosed external investors, and operates exclusively within Italy as of the available data.
