What Ercolina does
Ercolina is a brand of CML International S.p.A. (Costruzioni Meccaniche Liri), an Italian industrial machinery manufacturer founded in 1973 and headquartered in Piedimonte San Germano, Italy. The company specializes in tube bending and metal forming machinery, with a product portfolio spanning five core categories: rotary draw benders (coreless), mandrel benders, ring rollers, metalworking machines (for drawing, tapering, and flanging), and manual push benders. All machines are designed, developed, and manufactured in-house at the company's 16,000-18,000 square meter Italian facility using premium European-sourced materials and components. Notable proprietary technologies include the patented KST tube clamping system, the Quick Tool Change System, and the TCPlus control system with optional Industry 4.0 LAN/Wi-Fi connectivity.
The company serves six primary industrial verticals: automotive, marine/naval, petroleum, aerospace, construction/structures, and design/furniture. Distribution follows a hybrid model combining direct enterprise sales via area managers and sales technicians with an extensive global network of over 750 authorized dealers (approximately 600 in Italy and 200 internationally), supplemented by four wholly-owned regional subsidiaries in the USA (Davenport, Iowa), Germany (Urbach), South Korea (Bucheon), and Sweden (Alingsås). CML International also owns the IBP Pedrazzoli brand, acquired to expand its tube processing portfolio. Revenue is generated primarily through hardware sales of complete machines shipped pre-assembled and tested, with quote-based pricing and case-by-case payment terms. The company actively markets through 20+ international trade fairs annually, including MECSPE, Wire & Tube, EuroBLECH, and Salone Nautico, and emphasizes 30-35 year machine lifespans, 90% remote technical assistance resolution within 24 hours, and full in-house installation support for complex equipment.
