Quality of business,
quality of life

SACMI is an international industrial group with a clear commitment: to improve everyone’s quality of life with highly innovative technological solutions that deliver sustainable production processes.

Sustainability has been our hallmark since 1919, when we were founded as a cooperative focused on skill and efficiency: we still are, making us pioneers of the sustainable factory.

Sustainability,
sector by sector

At SACMI, we design and build machines and plants that consume less energy, recycle raw materials, use clean energy and reduce emissions.

Manufacturers choose SACMI plants to make their factories more sustainable, opening the door to real change: it’s up to us.
