VIM Selection

What VIM Selection does

VIM Selection is a privately held Italian firm, headquartered in Desenzano del Garda, that operates in the secondary market for industrial capital equipment. According to its firmographic profile, the company specializes in the purchase and resale of second-hand machines and equipment serving the paper converting industry — an established European industrial vertical that includes packaging, printing, and tissue converting manufacturers. The implied customer base consists of paper converters, packaging producers, and industrial buyers in emerging or cost-sensitive markets who seek refurbished machinery as a lower-capex alternative to new OEM equipment.

Operationally, VIM Selection sits between sellers (typically converters decommissioning lines, bankrupt operators, or OEMs disposing of returned units) and buyers seeking specific machine types. No product catalog, machine categories, technical specifications, refurbishment capabilities, or inventory volumes were disclosed in the available source material, and the company's own website currently renders only a verification/loading page rather than substantive commercial content. No digital tools, configurators, marketplaces, or proprietary technology assets are documented.

The revenue mechanics of used-equipment dealers of this profile typically combine trade-margin on resale (purchase price + refurbishment cost vs. sale price) with service fees for dismantling, logistics, and installation support. None of these revenue streams, deal sizes, pricing models, or geographic reach metrics are disclosed. Headcount is stated at 11–50 employees, which is consistent with a small specialized dealer rather than a scaling platform. There is no disclosed parent company, funding history, or ownership structure.
