Rebec

What Rebec does

Rebec S.r.l. is an Italian private limited company (S.r.l.) founded in 2007 and headquartered in Olgiate Olona, in the province of Varese. It designs and manufactures industrial coating and laminating machines for textiles, plastic films, paper, foams, and non-wovens, operating as a custom-engineered capital equipment supplier. The company's stated lineage traces to the predecessor MP Engineering srl of Busto Arsizio, from which it inherited multi-year process expertise, and it advertises over a decade of activity supporting both small and large manufacturers globally.

The product portfolio is built around four core machine platforms: a modular Hot Melt line with interchangeable gravure, multiroller, slot die, and spray coating subsystems; a Flame Laminating line using cast iron burners for foam-to-substrate bonding (including trilaminate construction in a single pass); a Powder Coating/Scattering line with an automatic speed-compensating powder distribution system maintaining 10–400 g/m²; and a knife-based Coating line for self-adhesive, resin-coated, waterproofing, and blackout materials. Working widths reach up to 5300mm on powder lines and 4000mm on flame lines, with production speeds up to 60 mt/min depending on configuration. A catalogue of accessories (turret winders, accumulators, edge trimmers, welders, IR/UV curing) and a turnkey solutions offering — including consulting, training, plant modifications, spare parts, and after-sales — complete the offering.

Rebec generates revenue primarily through one-time sales of customized machinery and turnkey production lines, supplemented by professional services for consulting, modifications, spare parts, and after-sales support. Pricing is opaque, quote-based, and varies by machine specification and configuration, consistent with engineered-to-order industrial capital equipment. The go-to-market is sales-led and direct, with personalized technical consulting from concept through implementation, complemented by a referral network of Italian industrial partners. The firm sells globally with no disclosed geographic restrictions, and customer mix spans automotive, footwear, clothing, and furnishing manufacturers alongside small and large industrial buyers. No revenue, headcount, funding, certifications, named customers, awards, or management team information is publicly disclosed.

Core offering

Rebec designs, manufactures, and sells customized industrial coating and laminating machines for textiles, plastic films, and paper processing. The portfolio includes hot melt adhesive machines, flame laminating machines, powder scattering machines, and knife coating machines, supported by accessories (turrets, accumulators, trimmers, welding machines, IR/UV systems) and turnkey solutions covering consulting, installation, training, and after-sales service.

Product overview

Rebec is an industrial machinery manufacturer specializing in coating and laminating technology. The product portfolio centers on four core machine types: Hot Melt machines for adhesive coating and lamination, Flame Laminating machines for foam-to-fabric bonding, Powder Coating/Scattering machines for thermo-adhesive powder application, and Knife Coating machines for producing self-adhesive, waterproofing, and blackout materials. These machines share a modular architecture allowing customization of application methods (gravure, multiroll, slot die, spray). Rebec also offers a comprehensive range of accessories (turrets, accumulators, trimmers, welders, IR/UV systems) and full turnkey solutions including consulting and after-sales support. The company targets small and large companies globally with customized lines built to specification.

Functional benefit

Products and services

• Hot Melt Machine Modular hot melt adhesive coating machine that applies thermoplastic or polyurethane glue onto substrates such as woven fabrics, knits, nonwovens, foams, membranes, films, nets, and paper, equipped with gravure roller or multiroller application systems for point, network, or full-coverage adhesive application.
• Flame Laminating Machine Industrial machine for laminating polyester or polyether foams to substrates such as woven fabrics, knitted fabrics, non-wovens, synthetic leather, and films using flame bonding technology, allowing bonding on both sides of foam in one pass to create trilaminate materials.
• Powder Coating / Powder Scattering Machine Machine for spreading thermo-adhesive powder of various granulometries onto fabrics, non-wovens (TNT), film, wadding, and artificial leather, with an automatic system ensuring consistent powder distribution (10–400 g/m²) regardless of production speed variation.
• Knife Coating Machine Knife coating machine for producing self-adhesive materials, resin-coated fabrics, waterproofing, and blackout materials, capable of applying polyurethane, acrylic, silicone, latex, and PVC pastes with precision tension control and configurable drying ovens.
• Coating Line Accessories Range of auxiliary equipment including turret unwinder/rewinder with splice capabilities, dual-head edge trimming units, belt accumulators for light fabrics, welding machines for thermo-weldable materials, vertical and J-box accumulators for continuous production, and IR/UV curing systems.
• Customized Turnkey Solutions Complete turnkey solutions for coating and laminating lines, including consulting, know-how transfer, training, modifications and upgrades of existing plants, spare parts supply, disassembly and assembly services, and after-sales assistance.
