Avin

What Avin does

Avin Srl is an Italian industrial equipment manufacturer specializing in the design, manufacture, and installation of turnkey industrial painting and surface treatment systems. Founded within the Imel Spa diversified industrial group and headquartered in San Martino al Tagliamento, Pordenone, in northeastern Italy, the company employs between 11 and 50 people. Its portfolio spans cataphoretic (electrophoretic) painting systems, powder coating lines, liquid spray systems, and immersion painting systems, complemented by industrial washing and air treatment equipment inherited from the parent group.

The company's core proprietary technology is its AUF (extruded membrane) dialysis cell line for cataphoresis processes, which is claimed to deliver 15-20% higher penetrating power, zero leakage, pressurized anolyte circulation, and up to five years of functional life versus flat-membrane alternatives. Avin complements this with ultrafiltration membranes for paint recovery, PLC-controlled ultrafiltration and cataphoresis skids, forced-convection conveyor ovens with claimed 100% thermal efficiency, and pneumatic paint-lift platforms rated for explosive atmospheres. Dialysis cells and replacement parts are manufactured in-house with stated one-week shipping cycles.

Avin operates a sales-led, project-based business model selling customized turnkey installations directly to industrial manufacturing customers, with no public pricing disclosed. Its disclosed customers include industrial and agricultural equipment manufacturers such as Luvata, Lutava, Liftremont, Maschio, and Sulky Burel. The company maintains multilingual commercial coverage (English, Italian, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, French, Polish) and direct sales personnel serving markets across Europe, North Africa, the Baltics, Ukraine, South America, the United States, Southeast Asia, and the Arab states. Revenue is generated from one-time equipment sales, hardware replacement parts, and professional services covering installation, relocation, revamping, and maintenance.
