What Irac Srl does

Irac Srl is an Italian industrial equipment manufacturer founded in 1986 and headquartered in Albinea, Reggio Emilia. The company designs and sells three core product lines for industrial customers: (1) technologies for solvent distillation and recovery that enable regeneration and reuse of industrial solvents, (2) industrial washing systems and tanks for professional cleaning applications, and (3) industrial waste compactors for volume reduction of solid industrial waste. Its technical differentiation is rooted in 30+ years of domain specialization in solvent recovery and regeneration rather than in proprietary software or digital systems.

Irac sells capital equipment via direct B2B field sales, with quote requests routed through phone (+39 0522 1890890) and email ([email protected]), targeting manufacturing and industrial companies across Italy and select international markets. Revenue is generated through hardware sales of mid-ticket industrial equipment, with pricing handled bespoke per quote; no published price list, recurring software/SaaS revenue, or service contract economics are disclosed. The company additionally operates an automotive-focused sub-brand, IRAC® Automotive, and maintains an organic social presence on Facebook, X, YouTube, and Instagram to surface product awareness.

In 2025 Irac was acquired by Cari®, a strategic operating company that also owns the ALPHA® brand, with operations continuing under the IRAC® trademark and product portfolio while being consolidated into the broader Cari® group's multi-brand industrial cleaning platform (cari-alpha.it). The company's registered share capital is €10,000 (minimum Italian S.r.l. capital), it has no disclosed subsidiaries, no published management team, and no public revenue or headcount figures.
