TRE.CI Srl

What TRE.CI Srl does

TRE.CI Srl is an Italian manufacturer of resistance and spot welding machines, founded in 1977 and headquartered in Paderno Dugnano, Lombardia. The company designs, produces, and services a broad portfolio of compact spot welders, micro-spot welders, resistance welders, inverter welding systems, welding transformers, and electronic controls (CS and R4 series), plus a line of bespoke special machines (MM1–MM6, SP-PZ) for applications such as temperature sensors, electrical coils, battery assembly, silver contacts, copper braids, and cylindrical filters. Its underlying technology centers on AC, DC, and medium/high-frequency IGBT-based inverter systems, with in-house design and manufacturing of transformers and electronic controls.

The business operates a direct B2B model: customers engage TRE.CI's technical office for feasibility, 3D design, and quotation; production combines standard base machines with custom clamps, punches, transformers, and controls; and the company provides turnkey installation, start-up, and after-sales services including pre-paid maintenance packages and training courses. End markets include the electrical industry, battery manufacturing, electric motors and transformers, automotive, and general industrial assembly, with customers primarily in Italy but with stated worldwide delivery.

The company is privately held by the founding family (now in its third generation of leadership since 2019), with no external equity investors disclosed, a share capital of €52,000, and approximately 15 employees. Commercial outreach relies on direct technical consultation, a multilingual Italian/English website, and regular participation in the Coiltech international trade fair in Pordenone. Revenue and pricing are not publicly disclosed; transactions are quote-based and customized.
