CMG

What CMG does

CMG srl is an Italian manufacturer of custom-configured blown film extrusion lines, headquartered in Olgiate Olona and operating from a second registered site in Cardano al Campo, with two manufacturing facilities totalling approximately 10,000 square metres and 80 employees. Founded in 1963 as an aeronautical engineering firm supplying Società Agusta, the company pivoted to the plastics sector in the early 1980s following an aviation industry downturn, initially as a contract manufacturer before launching its own complete blown film lines in the mid-1980s starting with mono-layer machines. From 1992, the portfolio expanded into 3-layer co-extrusion and subsequently 5-layer and 7-layer systems. Core product families are OVERFIVE (5-layer with CBH 600/5S or CBH 1000/5S heads, throughput up to 1,000 kg/h), INNOEX (high-performance 3-layer with CBH 500/700 head, dual lip air rings, IBC, and LSW winder), COEXPERT (compact 3-layer for polyolefins and biodegradable materials up to 150 m/min), ROTOCOMPACT (compact mono fixed head with pre-assembled modular base), and UTILITY (mono oscillating head entry-level). Underlying technology includes proprietary CBH coextrusion heads with radial distribution, dual lip air ring cooling, optional Internal Bubble Cooling (IBC), PLC-based process control with remote LAN connection, and the MAM sub-brand for HDPE processing acquired in 2006.

The revenue model combines capital equipment sales of custom-configured extrusion lines (annual production capacity of approximately 40 complete lines depending on size and complexity) with recurring after-sales services including remote PLC connection, spare parts supply, mechanical/electronic/processing troubleshooting, maintenance, specialized training, and revamping/retrofitting of installed lines. Pricing is contact-based with no public disclosure, reflecting the custom configuration of each machine. Go-to-market is executed through a hybrid of direct field sales and a worldwide network of agents and representatives, many of whom provide local technical assistance, processing consulting, and pre-sale recommendations. The company maintains active presence at the three major international plastics trade shows (Plast Milan, Chinaplas, K' Düsseldorf), runs a multilingual six-language website, and hosts Open House events at headquarters tied to Plast exhibitions.

CMG serves flexible packaging film manufacturers, agricultural film producers, and HDPE processors across global markets with over 1,200 machines installed worldwide. End-use applications span food packaging, medical instrument packaging, liquid and powder chemical product packaging, industrial packaging, agricultural mulch and barrier films, construction film, lamination film, milk film, FFS heavy sacks, cling film, stretch and shrink hoods, newspaper film, bio bags, freezer bags, garment bags, and courier bags. Approximately 70% of recent sales are 3, 5, and 7-layer co-extrusion machines serving barrier film applications, reflecting industry migration from mono-layer to sophisticated multi-layer structures. In March 2024, CMG entered an equity agreement with Uteco Converting S.p.A. to jointly address the converting sector, representing a strategic commercial alliance rather than a change of control. CMG remains a privately held Società a responsabilità limitata with founder ownership and no public listings or disclosed external institutional investors.

Revenue model

1. Blown Film Extrusion Line Sales: CMG designs, manufactures, and sells complete blown film extrusion lines (mono-layer, 3-layer, 5-layer, and 7-layer co-extrusion). Each line is thoroughly tested before shipment. Revenue is generated from the sale of capital equipment — custom machines configured to customer requirements. Production capacity of 40 complete lines per year depending on size and complexity.
2. Technical Assistance and After-Sales Service: Post-sale technical support including remote connection to extrusion lines, spare parts supply, mechanical/electronic/processing troubleshooting, maintenance, specialised training, and revamping/retrofitting of existing lines. This service represents a key qualitative differentiator and generates ongoing revenue from the installed base.
