KSB Italia

What KSB Italia does

KSB Italia is the Italian commercial and service subsidiary of KSB SE & Co. KGaA, a German publicly-listed global manufacturer of pumps, valves, and fluid-handling systems founded in 1871. Operating from Concorezzo (Monza Brianza) with approximately 120 employees, KSB Italia sells customized industrial pumps, industrial valves, spare parts, and lifecycle services to customers in water/wastewater, general industrial processes, energy, building technology, and mining/extraction. Reference projects documented in the source include energy optimization at Palazzo Grassi in Venice and propeller pumps for wave generation at the Idroscalo di Milano water park.

The underlying technology stack combines proprietary hydraulic system design, advanced materials technology, and automation, anchored by the iconic Eta pump platform launched in 1935 and the Calio Pro Plus high-efficiency, maintenance-free heat circulation pump. KSB Italia monetizes primarily through hardware sales of pumps and valves and a recurring service stream (KSB SupremeServ) covering commissioning, inspection, on-site maintenance, and rapid spare parts delivery. Go-to-market is direct-to-enterprise via field sales and the MyKSB digital platform, which provides registered customers with full pricing visibility, product configuration, ordering, delivery tracking, and a spare-parts search engine; non-registered users access a limited "EasySelect" configurator with restricted pricing and no ordering capability. KSB also operates the KSB SupremeServ Academy as a training channel for engineers and technicians, reinforcing the service ecosystem.
