Maico Italia

What Maico Italia does

Maico Italia S.r.l. is an Italian designer and manufacturer of air extractors and ventilation systems, headquartered and producing entirely at a single facility in Lonato del Garda (Brescia). Founded approximately in 1970 and claiming more than 55 years of sector experience, the company sells under two owned brands — Elicent (civil and residential ventilation) and Dynair (industrial ventilation) — and is wholly owned by the German group Maico Holding GmbH, which exercises direction and coordination under Art. 2497 bis of the Italian Civil Code. The product portfolio spans HVLS ceiling fans (SUPER POLAR), centrifugal and axial roof fans (TCF-AT, TAH HP, TA HT), ATEX-certified helico-centrifugal inline fans (ERM-EX), anti-corrosion plastic centrifugal fans (PR AC), low-noise belt-driven box fans (BOX-T), residential axial extractors (ELEGANCE, REC SMART VMC), and hand dryers (HD300P).

The technical differentiation rests on proprietary engineering and certified compliance rather than digital features: the ERM-EX is described as the only increased-safety elico-centrifugal inline fan on the market; SUPER POLAR HVLS fans use Selig Airfoil profiles in 3–7 metre diameters; REC SMART delivers up to 75% thermal efficiency in decentralised single-room VMC; and ATEX/IECEx, EN 12101 (F300/F400), ISO 9001/14001/45001 certifications back fire-safety, explosion-proof, and quality claims. Membership in AMCA International and ANIE Federazione signals alignment with air-movement standards bodies.

Commercially, Maico Italia operates a sales-led, channel-partner go-to-market targeting designers, installers, and plant engineering professionals. Distribution is anchored by a 'Consorzio Partner' relationship with FEGIME Italia and training-based engagement with ELETTROLAZIO (Megawatt Group), supplemented by direct sales via the company website and field engagement through the Commercial Director. Revenue is generated primarily through hardware sales of ventilation equipment, with technical support and training provided alongside; pricing is quote-based with no public list and a EUR 200 minimum order threshold. Named end-customers include Honda (Vigasio), Ikea (Brescia), Fassa Bortolo, Kedrion, Al-Rostamani, Pastificio Cellino, Vitillo, and Forum DaSSago di Milano, spanning automotive, retail, chemical, pharmaceutical, construction, food, and cultural/entertainment verticals.
