Alia Mentis

What Alia Mentis does

Alia Mentis SpA is an Italian deep-technology company founded in 2012 and headquartered in Montebelluna (Treviso), Italy, that develops proprietary advanced composite materials and manufacturing systems. The company's core technology portfolio centers on three proprietary platforms: Koridion, the first active core enabling the self-forming of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) into final shapes via internal pressure generation; Equalizer, a machine system alternative to traditional presses and autoclaves that enables industrial scalability of CFRP components; and Xelion, a functional composite material based on exclusive carbon-based concave particles providing kinetic energy absorption and dissipation. These are supported by an integrated systems infrastructure including industrial tomography, additive manufacturing (WAAM and washout printing), CNC machining, large-scale foundry, and in-house tooling capabilities — assets available to only a limited number of operators globally.

The company operates as a B2B technology partner positioned upstream in the value chain of OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers, operating directly with OEMs in aerospace and defense and primarily with Tier-1 suppliers in automotive and motorsport following OEM validation and nomination. Revenue is generated through three streams: technology licensing and royalties (Koridion, Equalizer, Xelion), in-house manufacturing and production sales of advanced materials and components, and technical and industrial support services covering co-design, prototyping, and industrial validation. Pricing is bespoke and negotiated on a project basis, consistent with deep-tech enterprise licensing and co-development.

Alia Mentis reported 2025 revenues of approximately €14.7 million (+85.8% year-on-year, with production value of approximately €15 million), EBITDA of approximately €8.5 million (approximately 58% margin), and net financial indebtedness of approximately €17 million. The company holds over 20 patents and 3 trademarks, with key certifications including ISO 9001, IATF 16949, ISO 9100, and TISAX. Following its IPO on Euronext Growth Milan in June 2026 at €3.25 per share with a post-transaction free float of up to 35%, Alia Mentis is publicly listed (BIT: ALMS) and is directing proceeds toward expansion into IT infrastructure and data centres as a new end market, alongside geographic expansion into North America.

Revenue model

1. Technology Licensing: The company licenses its proprietary technologies (Koridion, Equalizer, Xelion) to customers, generating recurring royalty streams. Licensing enables monetization of the intellectual property portfolio and supports standardisation of proprietary technologies through integration into OEM technical specifications.
2. In-house Manufacturing and Production Sales: Alia Mentis operates an in-house production platform dedicated to the manufacturing of advanced materials, components, semi-finished products and pre-series batches. The company sells this in-house production directly to customers. The growth strategy aims to progressively increase the share of revenues generated from product sales alongside licensing activities.
3. Technical and Industrial Support Services: The company provides technical and industrial support services to customers, including industrialisation services, co-design with OEMs and Tier-1s, and process development. These services span the entire technological and industrial development value chain from proof-of-concept through prototyping to production industrialization.
4. Royalties: Application of royalties from proprietary technology deployment, embedded within the intellectual property monetisation model.

Core offering

Alia Mentis develops and commercialises proprietary active core technologies for advanced composite materials and manufacturing systems, including Koridion (active core for self-forming Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer/CFRP), Equalizer (multi-process machine system replacing presses and autoclaves), and Xelion (functional composite material for energy absorption). The company also operates in-house production of components, semi-finished products and pre-series batches, and provides industrialisation services and technical support to aerospace OEMs, automotive Tier-1 suppliers, and sports/protective equipment manufacturers.

Product overview

Alia Mentis is a deep-tech company that develops proprietary materials and processes through a fully integrated, science-driven approach spanning from research to validation to industrial production. The product portfolio centers on three main proprietary technologies: Koridion (active core for CFRP self-forming), Equalizer (machine system for industrial scaling), and Xelion (energy-absorbing composite material), supported by Integrated Systems infrastructure for analysis, validation, and advanced manufacturing capabilities including tomography, additive manufacturing, and CNC machining.

Differentiator

Problem solved

Functional benefit

Brands

• Koridion: The first active core for the self-forming of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) into its final shape. Koridion enables previously impossible forms with design freedom, fireproof/shockproof properties, cost savings, and greenhouse gas reduction.
• Equalizer
• Xelion

Products and services

• Koridion First active core for the self-forming of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) into final shapes. The viscous-behavior core optimizes CFRP forming by absorbing overlaps and interference, generating uniform pressure up to 12 bar; it is fireproof and soluble, enabling previously impossible geometries for OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers in aerospace, automotive, motorsport and sports/protective equipment.
• Equalizer Machine system alternative to traditional presses and autoclaves that, when applied to Koridion, enables industrial scalability of carbon fibre components by combining full control of curing parameters with a multi-process architecture, overcoming the limitations of traditional composite technologies for aerospace, automotive and motorsport manufacturers.
• Xelion Functional composite material made from exclusive carbon-based concave particles that capture kinetic energy during impact and divert it away from the area of impact, instantly transforming it into heat dispersed into the atmosphere. Enables reduced product size and weight with full design freedom for sports, safety and protective equipment manufacturers.
• Integrated Systems (Analysis, Validation and Enabling Technologies) Integrated infrastructure of analysis, validation and enabling technologies including industrial tomography, DSC calorimetry, Dynamic Mechanical Analysis, impact testing, large-scale 3D scanning, climate chamber testing, in-house tooling, large-scale foundry, high-precision CNC machining and additive manufacturing (WAAM and washout printing), offered to support customer development and qualification programmes in advanced composites.
