Collamat

What Collamat does

Collamat AG is a privately held Swiss industrial equipment manufacturer founded around 1960 that designs and sells labeling systems and thermal ink jet printers for product marking and identification. The company's product portfolio includes the C-Series labeling machines for simple and complex labeling applications, the robust S-Series for demanding high-speed production environments (up to 300 m/min), the proprietary Linerfree® system that enables labeling without carrier material to reduce waste and cost, the Etiprint Print & Apply system with modular print engine integration, and high-resolution HP-technology inkjet printers for direct product marking. The company serves manufacturing and industrial/production companies needing automated, reliable, and sustainable labeling solutions across a horizontal range of industries.

Collamat operates a consultative, sales-led go-to-market model built around free consultation calls, on-site installation, and ongoing production support, supplemented by a global distributor and dealer network accessible via a website-based distributor finder. Revenue is generated primarily through hardware sales (labeling machines, print & apply systems, thermal ink jet printers) complemented by professional services for consultation, installation, and integration support. Pricing is quote-based rather than publicly listed, reflecting the customized nature of each solution. The company also operates an e-commerce shop on its website for direct online purchases.

The company differentiates itself through its Linerfree® trademarked technology, six decades of accumulated domain expertise, modular system designs that allow retrofitting of existing production lines, and dual-channel distribution combining direct consultative sales with international resellers. Key partnerships include integration of HP Thermal Ink Jet technology into its printer lineup. Ownership, revenue figures, headcount, and funding history are not disclosed in available sources.
