Cominox srl

What Cominox srl does

Cominox srl is an Italian B2B metalworking and mechanical construction company founded in 1994 and headquartered in Schio (Vicenza), Italy, specializing in custom fabrication of stainless steel and special alloy components for industrial process equipment. The company manufactures pressure vessels, atmospheric and vacuum tanks, fittings (flanges, concentric and eccentric reductions, hoppers, segmented elbows, T and Y pieces), heat exchangers, mixers, autoclaves, pulpers, and filters, primarily serving pharmaceutical and chemical processors with secondary exposure to paper and textile manufacturing. Production is project-based with custom quotes per order, executed through a direct technical-commercial office and customer-submitted technical drawings (PDF/DWG/DXF) — there is no distributor or channel network.

The technology stack centers on advanced CNC metalworking assets: a Trumpf Trulaser 3060 2D fiber laser cutter (6kW, 6000x2500mm bed) handling stainless and construction steel up to 25mm, aluminum to 25mm, copper and brass to 10mm, and titanium to 6mm; automatic plasma welding up to 10mm thickness; TIG and submerged arc welding rigs capable of 9m longitudinal and 3m circular welds; a 450-ton Gade hydraulic press brake (15mm over 3m, 20mm over 2m); and cold rolling capacity to 22mm thickness on 1700mm diameter. The company holds specialized welding expertise in exotic alloys (DUPLEX, ALLOY, 410 NiMo, 13.4) and operates certified non-destructive testing across visual inspection, liquid penetrants, ultrasound, and X-rays.

Commercially, Cominox is a Unipersonale (single-member Italian LLC) with €10,400 share capital and 7 employees, generating project-based revenue without public disclosure and operating without institutional, PE, or VC backing. The company has progressed through three commercial phases — regional (post-2002 relocation to Schio), national (2016), and European (2018) — funded organically through reinvested earnings and supported by sequential capex in machinery (2014), 2D laser cutting (2020), and calendering (2021).

Core offering

Cominox srl is an Italian mechanical construction company that provides custom metal fabrication services — 2D laser cutting, MIG/TIG/plasma/submerged-arc welding, sheet bending, cold rolling (calendering), and full assembly — for stainless steel and special alloys. Using these in-house capabilities, the company manufactures finished industrial equipment such as pressure vessels, vacuum tanks, mixers, heat exchangers, autoclaves, pulpers, filters, and large fittings for pharmaceutical, chemical, paper, and textile processors.

Product overview

Cominox srl is a mechanical construction and metalworking company offering a comprehensive portfolio of manufacturing services including 2D laser cutting, welding (MIG, TIG, plasma, submerged arc), bending, rolling, and assembly. The company specializes in large-scale boiler making and produces custom industrial equipment including tanks, fittings, flanges, heat exchangers, mixers, autoclaves, and filters primarily serving pharmaceutical, chemical, paper, and textile industries. Products are manufactured up to 3 meters diameter and 12 meters length using state-of-the-art CNC machinery. The portfolio follows a services-based model where core manufacturing capabilities (laser cutting, welding, bending, rolling, assembly) feed into the production of finished industrial equipment products.

Direct peers

• Standardkessel Baumgarte: German fabricator of industrial boilers, pressure vessels, and plate work for process industries. Directly comparable to Cominox as a specialized plate-work and welded-vessel manufacturer with similar customer base in chemical and process industries.
• Heinkel Process Technology GmbH: European manufacturer of filtering, drying, and process vessel equipment for chemical and pharmaceutical industries. Overlaps with Cominox's pressure vessel, filter, and mixer offerings for similar regulated customers.
• Ziemann Holvrieka: Manufacturer of stainless steel process tanks and vessels for brewing, dairy, beverage, and chemical industries. Closest direct peer to Cominox in terms of custom stainless/special-alloy tank fabrication for regulated process customers.
• Christiansen & Sørensen: Danish manufacturer of stainless steel process tanks and pressure vessels for pharmaceutical, biotech, and chemical customers. Comparable to Cominox as a smaller specialty fabricator serving the same regulated end-markets with custom engineered products.
• Müller GmbH & Co. KG: German manufacturer of pressure vessels, heat exchangers, and process equipment. Comparable to Cominox in custom plate-work fabrication serving chemical, pharmaceutical, and industrial customers across Europe.
• Bolz Intec: German stainless steel fabricator producing custom tanks, vessels, and apparatus for pharmaceutical and chemical industries. Closely mirrors Cominox's custom stainless/special-alloy fabrication model with similar customer verticals.

Broad incumbents

• Pfaudler: Global leader in glass-lined and alloy process equipment (reactors, vessels) serving pharmaceutical and chemical industries. Overlaps with Cominox's pressure vessel and chemical-processing equipment offering but at a substantially larger scale.
• De Dietrich Process Systems: European (French/German) manufacturer of process equipment, reactors, and stainless-steel vessels for pharmaceutical and chemical industries. Comparable to Cominox because both serve regulated process industries with stainless and special-alloy fabrication, but De Dietrich operates at much larger scale as a multi-brand OEM.

Regional players

• Off.mecc. Carpenteria Industriale: Italian industrial carpentry and welding shop providing custom metal fabrication, pressure vessels, and structural work for Italian industrial customers. Comparable to Cominox as a similarly-sized Italian regional metal fabrication competitor serving similar process-industry customers.
• Atlas Copo (Metal Fabrication Division - Italy): Italian metalworking and fabrication services provider serving Italian industrial customers. Regional comparison to Cominox as a similarly-positioned Italian fabrication services player, though with broader scope.
