Scaglia Indeva FRANCE

What Scaglia Indeva FRANCE does

Scaglia INDEVA S.p.A. is an Italian-headquartered manufacturer of intelligent industrial manipulators, automated guided vehicles (AGVs), and modular Lean Manufacturing structures, operating globally through wholly-owned subsidiaries and a distributor network. The company is the material-handling spin-off of the Scaglia family group, which traces back to 1838; Scaglia INDEVA S.p.A. itself was established in 2004 to inherit the Liftronic technology platform originally developed in 1970, making it the first company to apply electronics to industrial manipulators. Its product portfolio is organized into four families: the Liftronic electronic manipulator series (Pro, Easy, Air, Mobile) with automatic weight detection and real-time self-balancing; the PN pneumatic manipulator series (Ergo, Compatto, Flex, Zip) for ATEX-certified hazardous environments; the INDEVA AGV line (tracteur/tugger up to 1,500 kg, tunnel, and custom solutions) integrated with Wi-Fi, RFID, electronic Kanban, and traffic controllers; and the INDEVA Lean System of modular steel/aluminum structures for production lines, workstations, flow racks, and supermarkets. A new-generation INDEVA HOIST product was launched in 2025.

The company sells exclusively to enterprise customers via direct sales subsidiaries in Italy, France, Germany, UK, Sweden, USA, China, and India, plus a global distributor and agent network. Pricing is quote-based on a multi-year contract structure with custom configurations (load capacities up to 320 kg on Liftronic, 1,500 kg on AGV tractors). Named customers span premium automotive (Ferrari, Lamborghini, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Fiat, Volvo, Bosch, Continental, Valeo, Brembo), aerospace (Airbus Helicopter), industrial automation (ABB, KUKA), transportation (Alstom), food and beverage (Ferrero, Nestle), pharmaceutical (Johnson & Johnson, GSK), and tire (Michelin, Bridgestone). After-sales service—installation, preventive maintenance contracts, telephone, email, and on-site support—is a distinct revenue stream delivered through regional service teams.

The parent of the Scaglia Group is S.I.T. – Società Italiana Trasmissioni S.p.A. (Italian Tax Code 00777880154), and the group encompasses Scaglia S.r.l., SIT S.p.A. (power transmission components), Elatech S.r.l. (polyurethane belts), SIT Automation S.r.l., and Scaglia INDEVA S.p.A., all family-owned and managed. Scaglia INDEVA holds ISO 9001 (the first in its sector), ISO 45001, ISO 14001, and TISAX (valid until April 22, 2029) certifications, plus an EcoVadis Silver Medal awarded in 2025 (top 15%). Scaglia INDEVA FRANCE (Scaglia INDEVA S.A.R.L.), based at 215 Rue Henri Barbusse, 95100 Argenteuil, operates as a wholly-owned French regional sales, engineering, and service subsidiary led by Michel Loncar, with approximately 9 employees.
