FACMA S.R.L.

What FACMA S.R.L. does

FACMA S.R.L. is an Italian agricultural machinery manufacturer founded in 1971 and headquartered in Vitorchiano (Viterbo), Lazio. The company designs and builds specialized equipment for soil working, mechanized harvesting of nuts and shell fruits (hazelnuts, chestnuts, walnuts, almonds, macadamia, pecans, palm fruit), and post-harvest drying, cleaning, and storage systems. Its product portfolio spans mulchers and shredders (Trinciasarmenti, Trincia Sbanchinatrice, Comby combined shredder-collector), inter-row mechanical weed control discs, three harvester configurations (trailed Cimina, tractor-mounted MEK, self-propelled SEMEK), supporting processing equipment (Spazzolatrice Rotativa brusher, Ventilatore Andanatore windrow fan), and complete turnkey cleaning-drying-storage installations. All machines are designed entirely in-house and validated on the founders' own farms before commercial release, a workflow that supports reliability claims built over more than 50 years of operation. Recent introductions include the TRIFRUT 85HP integrated tractor, the SEMEK1000 self-propelled walnut harvester, the MEK1800 prototype, and the C380S specialized macadamia harvester tested in Australia.

The company's business model is industrial hardware sales, augmented by a long-tail aftermarket parts and service stream that supports machines out of production for many years, including worldwide air shipping for urgent parts. Approximately 50% of turnover is generated outside Italy through a multi-country dealer network spanning Europe, South America, North America, Oceania, and Africa, supplemented by a wholly-owned Chilean subsidiary (Comercial Facma Chile Limitada) for South American nut-producing regions. Primary customers are nut and shell-fruit producers (SMB agricultural businesses), with a secondary segment serving olive and vineyard farmers requiring soil maintenance and pruning residue management. The company is privately held under a unipersonal structure (single shareholder, sole director) with paid-in capital of €110,000 and 11-50 employees, and operates with limited modern digital infrastructure (basic website, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, RSS, Google Analytics/Facebook Pixel for marketing tracking). No institutional investors, parent company, or external funding rounds have been disclosed.
