FANTI-HPM srl

What FANTI-HPM srl does

FANTI-HPM S.r.l. is an Italian private limited company headquartered in Sala Bolognese (Bologna province, Emilia Romagna) that operates as a regional manufacturer representative and service provider for the electro discharge machining (EDM) sector. The company sells EDM machines (both sinker EDM / elettroerosione a tuffo and wire EDM / elettroerosione a filo) and machining centers from established brands, with Modular (Switzerland) as a primary represented partner for clamping and workholding systems. It also retails a rotating inventory of used and refurbished machines, examples including the ROBOFIL 330 and ROBOFIL 230 wire EDM units.

The firm monetizes across four streams: one-time machine sales (new and refurbished), after-sales technical assistance and periodic maintenance, hardware sales of spare parts and consumables (wire, filters, resin, DEIO cylinders) from an always-stocked warehouse, and accessories. Distribution is split between direct sales focused in Emilia Romagna for capital equipment and a nationwide Italian commercial network for spare parts. Marketing is minimal: a corporate website serves as the primary digital presence with basic product information and 2016-dated educational EDM content, supplemented by passive social sharing on LinkedIn, Facebook, and X.

The company is family-owned, originally operated by Romano Fanti as FANTI MACCHINE UTENSILI, and now managed in its second generation by Roberto Fanti and Stefano Fanti following a merger that established FANTI-HPM S.r.l. No external investment, public listing, or subsidiary structure is indicated. Customer segments are Italian manufacturing firms requiring EDM for tool, mold, and precision component production, with a horizontal segmentation approach. No revenue, headcount, or formal certifications are publicly disclosed, and there is no evidence of AI/ML capability, software products, or digital platforms beyond the brochure website.
