What Technoilogy does

Technoilogy is an international engineering company that designs and manufactures turnkey industrial plants for the fats and oils industry, operating under Bernardini family ownership since 1950 and headquartered in Cisterna di Latina, Italy with a legal office in Rome. The company serves edible oil producers and refiners, oleochemical manufacturers, biodiesel and renewable fuel producers, waste oil processors, and lube oil re-refiners, with technology coverage spanning oilseed preparation and extraction, solvent extraction, physical and chemical refining, dry fractionation, fat splitting, fatty acid distillation and fractionation, transesterification, glycerine refining, hydrogenation, and lube oil hydrotreatment. Plants are built to comply with international standards including Codex Alimentarius, EN 14214, ASTM D6751, UNI EN, ASME, and AWS, and are designed to handle diverse feedstocks from soybean and sunflower to waste cooking oils and used mineral lube oils.

The company executes a direct enterprise sales model, reaching global customers through three branch offices in the UAE (hosted by SAIMECO GROUP), India (TECHNOILOGY INDIA OILS&FATS pvt. ltd.), and Malaysia (INTER-TECHNOILOGY sdn. bhd.), supplemented by twelve representative offices across Europe, Africa, the Middle East, the Americas, and Russia. A 28,000 m² specialized in-house workshop at the Cisterna di Latina headquarters manufactures key plant components under Engineering Department supervision, providing build-quality control over critical equipment. Revenue is project-based and generated through bespoke engineering contracts for turnkey plant delivery, with quote-based pricing and multi-year contract cadences. The company is privately held, with Mario Bernardini as CEO, Andrea Bernardini as Commercial Director, and Fabio Dalla Giovanna as Business Development Director; no external institutional investors, parent companies, or public-market signals are present in the source data.

Beyond turnkey plant delivery, Technoilogy operates an R&D service line providing lab analysis, process development, tailored product formulation, and pilot plant testing, and maintains a content-marketing program through its Insights/Blog, Technoilogy Talks event series, and participation in industry conferences and exhibitions. No AI/ML, software platform, API, or data-product layer is disclosed in any source.
