What Triulzi Cesare Special Equipments does

Triulzi Cesare Special Equipments S.R.L. is an Italian industrial machinery manufacturer founded in 1952 by Cesare Triulzi, headquartered in Limbiate (Monza-Brianza), Italy. The company designs, produces, and services glass washing, drying, and treatment equipment for industrial glass manufacturers worldwide, with a portfolio spanning vertical washers (VT2IS, VT3IS, VOT.SP50, VOT.SP12, VROT), horizontal washers (SY Low-Emission, Jumbo, Compact High Tech, Mini, Toscana, Solar, Ultrasonic, High-Speed), and special/custom systems including the patented SURF2000 curved glass washer, Wet Powdering Machine (Talcatrice), fireproof glass lines, laminated glass lines, insulating glass lines, and the patented Polishing Pre-Coating system. All machines are built from AISI 304 stainless steel with PLC/HMI controls, Industry 5.0 readiness, and are designed to handle glass from 45x45mm mini formats up to 3300mm jumbo formats and from 0.2mm to 120mm thicknesses. The company holds multiple patents (SURF2000 first-in-world curved glass washing, Polishing System, Low-E automatic brush selection, robotic handling for curved glass) and partners with Dip-Tech (Ferro) for integrated digital printing production lines.

Triulzi generates revenue primarily through one-time capital equipment sales of customized industrial washing machines, supplemented by professional services (installation, commissioning, operator training) and after-sales support (24-hour teleservice, AR-assisted remote diagnostics, spare parts). The company operates an enterprise field sales model with a direct sales team (CEO Roberta Triulzi as commercial manager, plus Mariella Triulzi, Claudio Vismara, and Customer Care), a global network of agents and representatives, and channel partnerships (e.g., Concept Solutions for Turkey). Its customer base spans automotive glass (Talcatrice, ultrasonic), solar/photovoltaic (Triulzi Solar division), architectural/building (laminated, insulating, fireproof glass), specialty glass (optical, pharmaceutical, display), home appliances, and curved glass applications (refrigeration, naval, shower). Pricing is quote-based with no public list pricing, reflecting the customized nature of each system. The company is family-owned (S.R.L. structure), now in its second generation with the founder still active, employs 40+ people, and has sold machines in 40+ countries with branded presence at major global trade fairs (Vitrum, GlassBuild America, Glasstec, Eurasia Window Fair).
