What Tecnos does
Tecnos S.r.l. is an Italian B2B industrial service provider founded in 1998 in Cuggiono, in the Milan metropolitan area, specializing in heavy and precision sheet-metal cutting and fabrication. The company operates four primary cutting technologies — oxyfuel cutting (capable of plates up to 1,000-1,200mm thickness), plasma 3D bevel cutting, 12kW fiber laser cutting, and 6000-bar waterjet cutting — across two production sites in Cuggiono and Vanzaghello, with nine CNC oxyfuel machines dedicated to heavy plate work and operational planes up to 3,300mm by 28,000mm. Around these cutting capabilities, Tecnos offers an integrated suite of metalworking services including bending, calendering (up to 3,000mm width and 110mm thickness), welding (MIG-MAG, TIG, submerged arc, laser), sandblasting, tumbling, crimping, chamfering, blanking, 3D shaping, and mechanical processing, with ultrasound-based non-destructive testing and certified material traceability for sectors that require it.
Tecnos generates revenue through third-party manufacturing (lavorazioni conto terzi) on a per-job quote basis, with pricing customized to material, thickness, complexity, and dimensions, and a secondary stream from sale of processed and unprocessed sheet metals and coils. The company sells exclusively through direct sales: customers request quotes via a website form, email, or phone, with no channel intermediaries. It serves five primary industrial verticals — chemical, steel, petroleum, energy, and mechanical — with shipbuilding as a secondary vertical, producing components such as pressure vessels, heat exchangers, columns, storage tanks, wear plates, drilling equipment, and structural steel. The company is privately held (share capital €500,000), led by sole administrator Fabio Malvestiti, and operates from a 11-50 employee base with no external funding, no subsidiaries, and no disclosed revenue.

Tecnos product offering
Product offeringCore offering
Tecnos is a contract sheet metal manufacturer providing third-party metal cutting and fabrication services (lavorazioni conto terzi). Its core offerings span four primary cutting technologies—oxyfuel, plasma 3D bevel, fiber laser, and waterjet—supported by a complete metal carpentry workshop (bending, calendering, welding, sandblasting, tumbling, crimping, chamfering, blanking, shaping, and mechanical processing). The company supplies custom-cut metal components and certified materials to industrial B2B customers.
Product overview
Tecnos is a sheet metal manufacturing company founded in 1998, offering a comprehensive portfolio of metalworking services centered around four primary cutting technologies: Oxyfuel Cutting (ossitaglio), Plasma 3D Bevel Cutting, Laser Cutting (Fiber/CO2/Diode), and Waterjet Cutting. These core cutting services are supported by a full range of metal carpentry (carpenteria metallica) fabrication processes including Bending (piegatura), Calendering (calandratura), Tumbling/Deburring (burattatura), Sandblasting (sabbiatura), Welding (saldatura), Crimping (cianfrinatura), Chamfering (smussatura), Blanking (tranciatura), Shaping (sagomatura), and Mechanical Processing (lavorazioni meccaniche). The company also provides quality assurance services through its Certified Sheets (lamiere certificate) program and supplies custom-sized materials (lamiere e materiali su misura). Tecnos operates exclusively in the B2B industrial sector, serving steel, mechanical, chemical, energy, and oil industries with capabilities spanning from 1mm to 1000mm material thickness.

Tecnos competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- Dillinger: German heavy plate manufacturer producing thick steel plates (up to 600mm) for energy, offshore, and construction. Comparable to Tecnos in the heavy-thickness plate domain, but operating upstream as a steel mill rather than a downstream fabrication service.
- Voestalpine: Austrian steel and technology group with a Metal Forming division providing precision cutting, bending, and processing of heavy plate for industrial applications. Comparable to Tecnos in heavy plate processing capability but at substantially larger scale and vertical integration.
- Bystronic: Swiss-headquartered global supplier of sheet metal processing machinery (laser, bending, automation) and associated services. Comparable to Tecnos as a major player in the same cutting technology categories (laser, waterjet) but operates as a machinery OEM and integrated solutions provider rather than a pure job shop.
- Trumpf: German global leader in laser cutting machinery and sheet metal fabrication equipment. Comparable to Tecnos in the laser cutting technology category but several orders of magnitude larger and operating as a machinery manufacturer rather than a job shop service.
Direct peers
- Marcegaglia: Italy's largest independent steel processor and a major custom sheet metal processor, offering cutting, bending, and finishing across multiple Italian plants. Comparable to Tecnos as a third-party sheet metal fabrication services provider serving industrial customers with a broad cutting technology portfolio.
- Salvarani: Italian metalworking services company offering sheet metal cutting, bending, welding, and surface treatment to industrial customers. Comparable to Tecnos as a fabricator serving chemical, mechanical, and energy industries with multi-process capabilities.
- Officine Meccaniche di Ronago: Italian contract manufacturer specializing in medium-heavy carpentry and sheet metal working for industrial customers. Closely comparable to Tecnos in service model (custom third-party fabrication) and end-market exposure (energy, mechanical, infrastructure).
- Tiberina Group: Italian metal carpentry and fabrication group with multiple plants serving industrial customers. Comparable to Tecnos in scale, multi-technology cutting portfolio, and industrial B2B customer base.
- Duferco: Italo-Belgian steel and metalworking group with Italian processing operations including cutting and fabrication. Comparable to Tecnos as a third-party metal processor serving industrial customers in Italy and Europe.
Regional players
- Acciaiterie e Ferriere di Caronno: Italian steel and metalworking company serving the Lombardy industrial base. Comparable to Tecnos in geographic and customer overlap, though oriented more toward steel production than pure fabrication services.
