What CAME does

CAME S.r.l. a Socio Unico is an Italian equipment manufacturer founded in 1970 and headquartered in Noventa Vicentina, Vicenza, producing attachments and accessories for the earth-moving sector. The company's product portfolio is organized into four core categories: Quick Couplings (Attacchi Rapidi), Buckets for Excavators (Benne per Escavatori), Excavator Equipment (Attrezzature per Escavatori), and Loader Equipment (Pale), with specialized variants including the CAME EVO Reversible quick coupling, high-tipping buckets, cutting buckets, and claw-retainer buckets (Benna Pala con Griffe). Core technology centers on mechanical engineering of attachment interfaces and use of high-resistance anti-wear materials such as Hardox steel to deliver durability and versatility across construction, demolition, and green maintenance applications.

The company operates a sales-led B2B go-to-market, selling directly to machinery manufacturers (OEMs), construction companies, and equipment rental firms, supplemented by trade show presence at BAUMA in Munich and a direct-response website catalog with WhatsApp contact channels. Since October 2022, CAME has held an exclusive distribution agreement with Northern Ireland-based Hill Engineering to distribute Hill's quick coupler and attachment product range across Italy, adding third-party inventory and spare parts to the company's commercial offering. Revenue is generated through one-time hardware sales of configured equipment, with pricing not publicly disclosed and contracts quoted based on specific machine compatibility and customer requirements. The company is privately held as a single-member limited liability company (S.r.l. a socio unico) and currently employs approximately 51 staff.
