Bauce Tri.Ma

What Bauce Tri.Ma does

Bauce Tri.ma Srl is an Italian privately-held manufacturer of industrial leather processing machinery, headquartered in Trissino (Vicenza) and founded in 1970 by Attilio Bauce. The company specializes in presses and sammying/setting-out machines for tanneries, with a product portfolio that includes through-feed continuous machines (MVC 4S VERSUS E-POWER family, BLUEPRESS H3, BLUESTAR H5, BLUEXTREME), traditional hydraulic models (R/RA/RR series), fleshing and shaving machines (SCARNATRICE E, RASATRICE F), the Officine RM setting-out line acquired in 2019, plus accessories such as HYDROTANK immersion tanks and a B600 laboratory sammying unit. Its core proprietary technology is the E-Power all-electric motorization platform, which replaces hydraulic drive and delivers 20-30% energy savings, lower noise, longer felt life, and reduced maintenance, complemented by digital process control, PLC-based recipe memory, and 100% remote teleassistance aligned with Industry 4.0 principles adopted since 2018.

The company serves global tanneries and leather processors — bovine, vegetable-tanned, crust, and small-hide (ovocaprine, pig, calf) operations — via a direct enterprise sales motion led by the Bauce family, supported by an in-house showroom for technical demonstrations, trade-show presence, a multilingual website (IT/EN/ES), and a wholly-owned Brazilian subsidiary (Bauce Do Brasil, Ivoti, est. 2005) covering South America. Revenue is generated through custom-quoted hardware sales of capital equipment, with installation, commissioning, and after-sales service including an automated spare-parts department; ISO 9001 certification has been maintained continuously since 2001 (currently ISO 9001:2025). The firm remains family-controlled, with no institutional investment or public listing, and operates with 11-50 employees across Italy and Brazil.
