UV One

What UV One does

UV One Srl is an Italian privately held manufacturer specializing in UV and UV LED polymerization (curing) systems for the graphic arts industry, founded in 2007 by Daniele Olive and headquartered in Opera, near Milan. Its core product platform comprises three configurable curing lines—EVO (traditional UV), EVOLED (LED), and EVOLED/UV (hybrid)—built around proprietary modular sub-components: the EVOTouch control panel, EVOPower power supply, EVOCure cassettes (UV or LED), EVOChill chiller, and VENTOLA cooling fan. All systems are designed and assembled in-house at the Milan facility, which also houses a mechanical workshop and electronics laboratory for repair and refurbishment.

The company's revenue model is primarily hardware-led: sale of complete curing systems, UV lamps (mercury, gallium, iron-doped variants in partnership with Heraeus/Amba), spare parts for both proprietary and third-party UV ovens, and a certified reconditioned product line. A secondary stream of professional services—consulting on system selection, on-site and telephone technical assistance, scheduled maintenance, and repair—provides recurring aftermarket revenue and reinforces customer retention. UV One targets printing companies using flexo, offset, and digital processes, helping them improve print quality, increase production capacity, and minimize downtime, with go-to-market executed through direct sales (including a dedicated Export Manager) and selective participation in industry events such as Label Expo Europe. The firm remains family-controlled, founder-led, and self-funded, with no institutional capital disclosed.

Broad incumbents

• Excelitas Technologies: Excelitas is a US-based photonics and specialty lighting manufacturer offering UV LED curing systems alongside a broad portfolio of optical and detection products. It serves printing and industrial curing customers with comparable UV LED technology to UV One.
• Heraeus Noblelight: Heraeus Noblelight is the specialty light sources division of Heraeus, a global materials group. UV One has a strategic lamp-supply partnership with Heraeus/Amba, but Heraeus Noblelight itself also sells UV lamps and complete UV curing modules into the same printing customers, making it both a partner and a broad incumbent competitor.
• Baldwin Technology Company: Baldwin Technology is a US-based supplier of equipment and consumables for the printing industry, including UV and LED curing systems, cleaning, and ink management. It serves the same flexo/offset printing customers as UV One with a broader, more diversified product portfolio.

Emerging players

• Air Motion Systems / AMS UV: AMS UV is a specialist in UV LED curing for industrial printing and converting applications, with a product focus similar to UV One's EVOLED cassette-based systems. It is an emerging direct competitor in mid-sized UV LED installations for the graphic arts market.

Direct peers

• IST Metz GmbH: IST Metz is a German manufacturer of UV and UV LED curing systems for printing, industrial coating, and electronics applications. It competes head-to-head with UV One in UV LED polymerization systems for flexo and offset printing and is a benchmark for in-house system manufacturing depth.
• Phoseon Technology: Phoseon is a US-based specialist in UV LED curing technology for industrial printing, coatings, and adhesives. It is a direct competitor to UV One's UV LED cassette and power supply technology, particularly for high-performance digital and flexo press installations.
• Hönle Group: Hönle is a German manufacturer of UV/UV LED curing and sterilization equipment serving printing, coating, and electronics end-markets. Its UV curing division competes with UV One's EVOLED line for the same graphic arts customers.
• GEW (EC) Limited: GEW is a UK-based manufacturer of UV curing systems for the printing and converting industry. It is UV One's most direct comparable: UV One was originally a GEW distributor (2007-2019) before launching a competing in-house product line, so the two sell overlapping systems into the same flexo/offset printer customer base.

Regional players

• Technigraf GmbH: Technigraf is a German manufacturer of UV and LED curing systems for digital and screen printing. It is a regional European peer with a comparable product mix and customer base to UV One, particularly in label, screen, and industrial digital printing.
• Jenton Group: Jenton is a UK-based supplier of UV and UV LED curing equipment for printing and converting. It is a regional peer competing in the European market with UV One, primarily serving UK and Northern European printers with similar technology offerings.
