Midolini Group Spa

What Midolini Group Spa does

Midolini Group S.p.A. is an Italian industrial holding company headquartered in Udine, originating from the 1950 family business of brothers Lino and Umberto Midolini in Friuli. The group operates five interconnected investment areas: lifting, movement and transport (via Midlift, CTS, and Scaligera Autogrù); integrated industrial logistics (via Midway); mechanical workshops (via MA-ME Italia); consulting and safety (via M-SAFE); and professional training (via MIDHUB Academy). Port operations run through Midsea and jointly-controlled entities Terminal Porto Nogaro, Seaway, Gruppo Servizi Trieste, and Ferest Shipping at the Upper Adriatic ports of Trieste, Monfalcone, and Porto Nogaro.

The underlying technology centers on a fleet of 120+ cranes and aerial platforms ranging from 24.5-ton to 600-ton capacity units (including Liebherr LTM 1500-8.1, Terex Demag AC 500-2, Terex Demag TC 2800-1 lattice boom, and Manitowoc Grove GMK 6450-1), with advanced features such as synchronous lifting across up to four coordinated cranes and Super Lift counterweight configurations. MIDHUB Academy uses advanced simulators alongside theoretical and practical training. The group holds ISO 9001 and ISO 45001 certifications across multiple operating subsidiaries.

Midolini Group generates revenue through B2B enterprise contracts for crane rental with operators, port terminal stevedoring and project cargo handling, integrated industrial logistics, and HSE consulting and training. Pricing is custom-quoted per project based on equipment, duration, and complexity; no public pricing exists. The company serves steel mills, chemical and petrochemical plants, manufacturing firms, construction and infrastructure operators (including RFI for rail bridge work), port authorities, and shipping companies across Northern Italy, Austria, Slovenia, and Croatia. FY2025 production value reached €54.3M (+22% YoY) with EBITDA of €8.4M (+30%), and the group employs more than 400 people.
