AQUILA SERVICE

What AQUILA SERVICE does

AQUILA SERVICE Srl is a privately held Italian company founded in 1997, headquartered in Breganze (Vicenza), that operates as the domestic distributor and technical service provider for leading international injection molding machine manufacturers. The company represents three complementary press brands — JSW (The Japan Steel Works) full-electric presses from 30 to 3,000 tons, CHEN HSONG servo-hydraulic and all-electric presses from 20 to 6,500 tons, and NAVIS full-electric presses from 20 to 650 tons — collectively spanning the full Italian market's clamping-force requirements. Beyond presses, AQUILA SERVICE distributes complementary accessories including CAMPETELLA Cartesian and anthropomorphic robots, LEMAC hot runner temperature controllers, MAIN TECH material handling equipment, and its own ESC - Energy Saving Control® retrofit solution for existing hydraulic presses.

The company generates revenue through two principal streams: (i) capital equipment sales of injection presses and accessories on a quote-based B2B pricing model, and (ii) professional services including installation, commissioning, custom work program development, process parameter optimization, operator training, and routine/predictive maintenance. Its go-to-market relies on a field sales and technical support team serving Italian plastic injection manufacturers across technical components, packaging, automotive, and general industrial applications, supplemented by participation in major industry exhibitions (MECSPE, PLAST, SAMUEXPO) and proprietary open house events such as AquiLab and Efficiency Days. In September 2025 the company relocated to a new, larger headquarters with an expanded showroom and technical facilities, reinforcing its service infrastructure for the Italian market.
