Pasquato Cutting Machines

What Pasquato Cutting Machines does

Pasquato Cutting Machines is an Italian industrial machinery manufacturer founded in 1975 and headquartered in Mellaredo di Pianiga near Venice. The company designs and builds high-speed precision sheeters and slitter rewinders used by converters to cut flexible roll materials (PVC, polyester, polypropylene, polycarbonate, cloth, synthetic leather, electronic prepreg, EVA, bubble wrap, and similar substrates) into sheets or parent rolls. Its core product platform centers on the TE Series slitter/cross cutter, the TTP Series entry-level sheeter, the TR Series slitter rewinder, and the TTS, IN-LINE TE, and RIPLACUT in-line sheeters for extrusion lines, supported by an accessory stack of unwinders (SVL), stacking solutions (needles, pallets, grippers), and cold lamination units (TECL).

The company's technical differentiation rests on a proprietary self-sharpening scissor-action cross-cutting mechanism that eliminates blade changes between materials, combined with configurable slitting methods (shear cut, razor blade, crush cut, axial clamping) selected by material. With only 1-10 employees, Pasquato operates as a focused niche manufacturer managing the full build cycle in-house from order through customer start-up, supported by CAD 3D with PDM (modernized via the 2018 R3DESIGN grant) and application experience accumulated across more than 150 material types.

Pasquato generates revenue through one-time capital-equipment sales priced via custom quotes, plus a smaller stream of refurbished second-hand machines and a COVID-era line of surgical mask machines. It serves eight end-markets (converting, bookbinding, screen printing, HF-welding, bubble/foam packaging, electronic prepreg, photovoltaic, plastic extrusion) and distributes worldwide through an internal sales department in Italy plus regional agents in the UK (ALS LIMITED), USA (AXIM TECHNOLOGY), and Spain/Portugal (Fabio Danzè). Demand generation relies primarily on trade-show presence at DRUPA, K, ICE Europe/USA, PLAST, Foam Expo, and Paperworld, supplemented by a website quote-request workflow and YouTube product demonstrations.

Core offering

Pasquato designs and manufactures high-speed industrial sheeters and slitter rewinders used to convert rolls of flexible material into cut sheets or narrower parent rolls. The machines are sold as custom-configured units to converters and downstream manufacturers serving converting, bookbinding, screen printing, HF-welding, packaging, electronic prepreg, photovoltaic, and plastic-extrusion segments, and the company also markets a fully automatic surgical mask machine.

Product overview

Pasquato Cutting Machines is a manufacturing company that designs, develops, and constructs high-speed precision sheeters and slitter rewinders for converting flexible materials from roll into sheets or parent rolls. The product portfolio centers on three main product families: the TE SERIES (core slitter and cross cutter), TTP SERIES (entry-level sheeter for plastics), and TR SERIES (slitter rewinder). Supporting product lines include specialized versions for bookbinding, electronic prepreg, electric insulation materials, photovoltaic (EVA/backsheet), and bubble wrap/PE foam packaging. The company also offers in-line sheeters for extrusion lines including the TTS, IN-LINE TE (entry level), and RIPLACUT (flying knife cut) series. Accessory products include separate unwinders (SVL/SHL), various stacking solutions (needles, pallet stacker, grippers), and cold lamination capability. The TE sheeter series serves as the core platform, with the LTM series providing gripper-based stacking for large format applications. Scissor action cross cutting and multiple slitting techniques (shear cut, razor blade, crush cut) are the hallmark technologies across all machines.
