What Losi does
Losi Group, operating through its primary legal entity Losi S.r.l and subsidiary Avio Commerciale S.r.l, is a Casalpusterlengo, Italy-based authorized distributor of composite manufacturing materials and surface-treatment chemicals serving primarily aerospace OEMs and sub-suppliers. Founded in 1988 and a Henkel Aerospace Authorized Distributor since 1997, the company operates as part of the Bodo Möller Chemie Group. Its portfolio spans twelve-plus premium third-party brands (Henkel LOCTITE/BONDERITE/FREKOTE, Virtek, Airtech, Aeroform, Nano-Tech, Gurit, Fibertech, Aqua Mandrel, Dexmet, Rasor, KleanVak) covering structural adhesives, surface treatment, vacuum bagging consumables, laser templating, composite repair tooling, pre-pregs, and precision cutting/mandrel equipment.
The company's revenue model combines hardware sales (distributed specialty chemicals and composite materials) with professional services (custom Avio Workshop vacuum bagging kits, Virtek installation/training, after-sales technical support). Pricing is quote-based with no public list; the firm emphasizes competitive pricing, low minimum order quantity, 100% shelf-life guarantee, and short lead time as procurement differentiators. A sales-led GTM leverages dedicated technical consultants who guide OEM/sub-supplier buyers from product selection through process optimization. Operations are anchored by two Italian warehouses — a headquarters distribution site with EN 9120-certified deep-freeze bonded storage in Casalpusterlengo and a 700 m² Faenza facility opened in February 2021 equipped for custom kit assembly and refrigerated logistics.
Losi Group sells to eight verticals (Aerospace as primary, plus Automotive & Motorsport, Industry, Wind Energy, Sports & Leisure, Marine, Construction, and Medical), holding ISO 9001 and EN 9120 certifications relevant to aerospace distribution. Leadership is family-anchored (founder Dr. Ing. Rinaldo Losi, CEO Andrea Losi), supported by Andrea Losi's dual role as Sales Director of Avio Commerciale. Strategic activity between 2021 and 2025 — Faenza warehouse, partnerships with Nano-Tech and DH Sutherland, the proprietary Avio Workshop Vacuum Bagging Kit and BONDERITE Touch-N-Prep launches, the December 2025 Henkel Sales Excellence Award, and the mid-2024 adoption of Model 231 governance — reflects incremental scaling of the authorized-distribution model rather than a pivot in business model or geography.
