Teseo

What Teseo does

Teseo Srl is an Italian privately held limited liability company headquartered in Desenzano del Garda (Brescia), specializing in modular aluminum piping systems for compressed air, vacuum, nitrogen, argon, and technical fluid distribution. The company claims to be the world's first to design, patent, and commercialize aluminum piping for compressed air, with a core product portfolio built around four patented systems — HBS (Hollow Bar System), APS (Aluminium Piping System), ATS (Air & Electric Track Supply), and SAB (Swinging Arm Bracket) — supported by accessories such as MPS Multifluid 25 bar, DCS drop columns, AMS manifolds, WBA workbench accessories, MTS sliding carts, and TAC commercial components. The technology uses extruded aluminum profiles (EN AW-6060 alloy) with double O-ring sealing rated for -20°C to +120°C, targeting a value proposition of eliminating corrosion, reducing installation time, and addressing the 20-40% of compressed air typically wasted through leaks in traditional steel piping.

The business generates revenue primarily through one-time sales of modular piping components, sold EX WORKS with a minimum order value of €150, with a secondary stream of professional services including installation assistance, plant design, energy-saving consulting, and paid customized training. A deterministic calculation software for pressure drop and diameter optimization is offered to support system design. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales with regional offices, supplemented by participation in major European industrial trade shows (MECSPE Bologna, Hannover Messe, BIEMH Bilbao, Advanced Factory Barcelona, SMEW Birmingham, Convivium) and a multilingual website available in 10+ languages. The company serves industrial manufacturers, system integrators, and factory floor operations, with €500,000 of registered share capital, no identified venture capital funding, and a leadership team for which only one data security officer is publicly disclosed.

Core offering

Teseo designs, patents, manufactures, and sells modular aluminum piping systems for the distribution of compressed air, vacuum, nitrogen, argon, and technical fluids in industrial facilities. The offering includes four core product lines (HBS Hollow Bar System, APS Aluminium Piping System, ATS Air & Electric Track Supply, SAB Swinging Arm Bracket) plus supporting accessories (MPS Multifluid 25 bar, DCS drop columns, AMS manifolds, WBA workbench accessories, MTS sliding carts, TAC commercial components, WKT tube bender), proprietary calculation software, and engineering services covering plant design, on-site installation assistance, energy-saving consulting, and training.

Product overview

Teseo is the world's first company to design, patent, and market aluminum piping systems for compressed air and fluid distribution. The product portfolio centers on modular aluminum piping systems with four main product lines: HBS (Hollow Bar System) as the pioneering hollow bar system; APS (Aluminium Piping System) as the modular profile system with IF Design Award recognition; ATS (Air & Electric Track Supply) for sliding carriage energy supply; and SAB (Swinging Arm Bracket) for ergonomic tool support. Supporting products include MPS Multifluid for high-pressure applications, DCS drop columns, AMS manifolds, WBA workbench accessories, and MTS sliding carts. The company also offers a proprietary calculation software for pressure drop and diameter optimization. All products feature 100% recyclable aluminum construction with patented O-Ring sealing technology and support fluids including compressed air, vacuum, nitrogen, argon, and CO2. Technical specifications include EN AW 6060 aluminum alloy, NBR 70 O-Ring seals rated for -20°C to +120°C, and maximum working pressures of 15 bar for standard systems.

Products and services

• HBS - Hollow Bar System The world's first modular hollow bar aluminum extruded piping system for compressed air and fluid distribution, with quick-fix outlet plates and blocks enabling easy modification or expansion at any time. Targeted at industrial manufacturers running compressed air, vacuum, nitrogen, argon, or technical fluid networks.
• APS - Aluminium Piping System Patented modular structural aluminum piping system with a symmetric profile and four usable faces, easy to cut and install without special tools, designed for compressed air and fluid distribution in industrial plants. Awarded the IF Design Award for ecology.
• ATS - Air & Electric Track Supply Sliding carriage system that delivers fluid and electrical energy sources along the entire travel path of the carriage on modular rails, allowing outlets at any point along the path for flexible workstation power and air supply.
• SAB - Swinging Arm Bracket Swinging arm bracket system for compressed air and/or electricity supply, using patented HBS technology with a rotating hollow pin on self-lubricating bearings, allowing positioning and support of pneumatic tools over a semicircular work area.
• MPS Multifluid 25 bar Multifluid piping system designed for 25 bar (360 psi) applications, extending Teseo's aluminum piping range to higher pressure industrial fluid distribution needs.
• TESEO Calculation Software Proprietary calculation software for determining pressure drop, pipe diameter, and flow rate specifications, supporting project costing and design of compressed air and fluid distribution systems.
