SPORTELLI.GROUP

What SPORTELLI.GROUP does

Sportelli.tech (operating under Sportelli.Group) is a French industrial machinery manufacturer founded in 1990 that designs, produces, and services CNC tube bending and end-forming equipment. The company addresses industrial manufacturers that bend tube, wire, and profile stock across twelve verticals, with automotive, aerospace, naval, medical, furniture, construction, and HVAC cited as primary applications, and additional exposure to cycle/motorcycle, childcare, urban furniture, profiles, and agriculture/public works. The company concentrates exclusively on bending and end-forming rather than broader machine tool categories and claims 35 years of specialist expertise.

The product portfolio spans five machine families: the e-DS, e-DR, e-DX, and e-DP all-electric series using FANUC motors, drives, and CNC control, plus the IZIBEND hybrid series that combines electric and hydraulic actuation, and complementary End Forming machines. Capacities range from 25mm to 102mm+ tube diameters. All machines are programmed through proprietary in-house 3D software that ingests IGES/STEP files to auto-generate bending programs and run feasibility simulations, a notable technical differentiator versus competitors relying on standard CAM. Recent activity includes the unveiling of the e-DB100 custom large-capacity machine at TUBE DÜSSELDORF 2026 and the e-DX100 in the same lineup.

Revenue derives from configured capital equipment sales (one-time purchases of CNC bending and end-forming machines with capacity-, axis-, and tooling-based pricing), supplemented by recurring service revenue through A3S Services (technical support, spare parts, commissioning, training, maintenance). Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales with technical consultation rather than distribution or e-commerce, supported by international trade show presence and a multilingual website covering French, English, German, Italian, and Polish. Operations are integrated across the French headquarters and sales site (Saint-Pierre-du-Perray), an Italian design-and-assembly facility (Tube tech center Italia, Bassano del Grappa), and two French operating subsidiaries (A3S Services and A3S Mécanique, both in Gauchy).
