Microtec GmbH
Founded in Brixen by Federico Giudiceandrea, Microtec is the global leader in wood scanning and the only player worldwide able to offer Computed Tomography technology in both the wood and food segments. Microtec's scanners cover the entire wood-processing value chain – from log to finished board – improving efficiency, yield and reducing waste at clients' production sites. In the food segment, its systems are used by leading global groups including Nestlé, Unilever, Ferrero and Dr Schär for contaminant detection and product quality assessment. The company holds approximately 40% market share in Europe and 14% in North America, with local presence in Italy, the US, Canada, Sweden, Finland and Germany. Exports represent 95% of sales.
Clessidra Private Equity's investment aims to support Microtec's international expansion and product innovation plan. The thesis is built on growing in non-wood end markets – food, pharma and cosmetics – through organic growth and M&A, geographic diversification with a primary focus on North America, driving higher revenue per client through cross-selling and after-sales services, and organisational strengthening through key new hires. The Computed Tomography technological edge represents a structural barrier to entry and a long-term growth driver.
