DueCi

What DueCi does

DueCi S.r.l. is a privately held Italian industrial manufacturer founded in 1995 through the merger of two family businesses established by the Ceresoli brothers in the 1970s-80s. The company operates from a single facility in Nave (Brescia), Italy, with a workforce of 11-50 employees, and sells primarily to automotive manufacturers, foundries, and aerospace customers through direct B2B sales. Two separate commercial departments manage the carbide tools line ([email protected]) and the moulds line ([email protected]), reflecting a project-based, consultative selling model with quote-based pricing.

The company's product portfolio splits into two core lines. The first is integral solid carbide micrograin cutting tools, including end mills for universal and high-speed machining, drills, reamers, rotary end mills, and aerospace-grade tools, sold both as standard catalog items and as special custom-designed tools built to customer drawings. The second is foundry moulds covering gravity casting, low-pressure casting, and die casting, plus complementary equipment and spare parts for foundries and tool shops. Supporting capabilities include 5-axis and 3-axis machining centers (DMG, Nikkei), a Walter HELITRONIC MINI POWER grinder, a modular balancing system for vibration and surface-finish control, the TOOLS MICROSET semi-automatic inspection machine, and professional resharpening and coating services. Quality systems are certified to ISO 9001:2015.

Revenue is generated through one-time sales of standard and custom tools and moulds, supplemented by recurring resharpening and coating services. The company has executed a sustained capex program since 2019, including an EU-co-funded Industry 4.0 transformation project (IS0109942) starting in 2022 to expand capacity, reorganize the production layout, and install a photovoltaic system. The new tools department became fully operational in February 2025. Distribution is direct, with the company claiming consolidated leadership in both Italian national and international markets across its three-decade history.
