3C CLOMEA

What 3C CLOMEA does

3C C.L.O.M.E.A. (C.L.O.M.E.A. Soc. Coop.) is an Italian cooperative society founded in 1944 and headquartered in Scandicci (Florence), Italy, that designs and manufactures hydraulic bending machines (curvatrici) for metal and plastic profiles — specifically aluminum, PVC, iron, and steel used in window and door frames, architectural facades, and a range of industrial applications including automotive, shipbuilding, heat exchangers, furniture, and lighting. The company entered bending machinery in the 1970s and has built an 80-year track record in mechanical engineering, now operating with approximately 6 employees.

The product portfolio is organized around two machine families — orbital bending machines (CR40, CR50, CR60, CR70, CR120) that achieve curvature through side-shaft movement, and pyramidal bending machines (CRMX70, CRMX150) driven by central-shaft movement — supported by a tiered numerical control family (CN07 through CN33) running Windows 10 or Linux and supporting up to 49 radii with DXF import, automatic springback compensation, and remote assistance. The company has built an Industry 4.0 software layer (SW4033 for configuration and reporting; SWI4033 for MES interconnection) and an extensive accessory ecosystem covering PVC hot-air heating, serpentine bending, concave/convex geometries, profile filling with sand compaction, safety enclosures, and digital arcmeters.

The business operates on a sales-led, direct-to-customer model: capital equipment is quote-priced with custom configuration based on machine type, control system selection, and accessories, sold through a national and international sales network with regional technical-commercial offices, and supported by an 8-language website (Italian, English, French, Spanish, German, Portuguese, Russian, Chinese). Customer segments are horizontal — window/door manufacturers are primary, with construction/architecture and diversified industrial manufacturing as secondary — and the company holds no institutional investors, parent entities, or external funding, reflecting its cooperative ownership structure.

Core offering

3C C.L.O.M.E.A. designs and manufactures hydraulic bending machines (curvatrici) for metal and plastic profiles, offering two main families — orbital machines (CR40, CR50, CR60, CR70, CR120) that bend through movement of side shafts, and pyramidal machines (CRMX70, CRMX150) that bend via central shaft movement. The machines are sold as custom-configured capital equipment with optional CNC numerical control systems (CN33/CN23/CN12/CN11/CN09/CN07), Industry 4.0 software (SW4033, SWI4033), and a wide range of tooling and accessories for aluminium, PVC, iron, and steel profiles.

Product overview

3C CLOMEA offers a comprehensive portfolio of hydraulic profile bending machines for aluminum, PVC, and steel profiles, organized into two main machine families: Orbital bending machines (CR40, CR50, CR60, CR70, CR120) that achieve curvature increment through movement of two side shafts, and Pyramidal bending machines (CRMX70, CRMX150) that use central shaft movement. The product ecosystem includes a range of numerical control systems (CN33, CN23, CN12, CN11, CN09, CN07) running Windows 10 or Linux operating systems supporting up to 49 radii. Industry 4.0 capabilities are provided through SW4033 (configuration/preparation software) and SWI4033 (M.E.S. interconnection). The offering is complemented by extensive tooling including hot air heaters for PVC bending (AT0021), vertical thrust devices for serpentine/spiral bending (AT0009), concave/convex bending equipment (AT0022), hydraulic straightening rollers (AT0029/AT0030), filling systems (ES40), safety systems (TAPEMS, CAREMS), and digital measurement tools (A2003D, A2002DR).
