Descriptiontext

B.Z. Srl is an Italian private limited company (Srl) founded in 1984 in Villaga, in the Veneto manufacturing district, specializing in the design and construction of injection molds for thermoplastics and thermosets, light-alloy die-casting tools, and plastic injection molding. The company operates from a 1,500 sqm facility divided into a mechanical workshop and a molding department, equipped with Deckel Maho and Makino CNC machining centers, EDM machines, and 15 horizontal injection presses ranging from 45 to 280 tons. Its in-house technical office uses CAD 2D/3D and CAM 3D systems to manage the full product realization cycle from design to tested, production-ready molds, with capacity for molds up to roughly 800x500 mm and parts from 0.5 to 700 grams per shot.

The company monetizes through two primary streams: one-off fees for custom mold construction and hardware sales from serial injection-molded components, with value-added services including assembly, screen printing, pad printing, and surface treatments such as chrome or nickel plating on ABS. It also produces and sells its own confectionery display stands. Customers are B2B industrial buyers across at least eight sectors, including household appliances, motorcycles, electrical, medical, gardening, lighting, electronics, and confectionery. Sales channels are entirely direct (phone, email, website contact), with no disclosed distributors, resellers, or digital commerce.

A 2026 announcement introduces a sheet metal blanking and bending mold construction department, extending the service portfolio beyond plastics. The company is privately held with no institutional investors, no disclosed funding, no M&A activity, and no public profile of awards or certifications. Operations appear confined to Italy/Europe, with no evidence of exports or international footprint beyond a multilingual website footer.
