April 27, 2026 – Mechitronic has announced today the acquisition of two new members into its federation: Apex Machine in the United States and RK Ferramentaria in Brazil. These additions mark the Group's entry into the Americas and are part of a broader external growth strategy, supported by over €100 million allocated to development and new partnerships.

Over the past two years, Mechitronic has accelerated its expansion, welcoming six new companies and integrating 15 businesses across Europe and China. The Group has reached approximately €260 million in annual revenue and employs over 1,400 people, serving customers in more than 50 countries. Its target is to reach €500 million in revenue by 2028.

Apex Machine, headquartered in Fort Lauderdale and with over 100 years of history, brings to the Group a broad set of capabilities across the industrial value chain, including integrated solutions covering pre-treatment, printing, quality control, and downstream automation, as well as component handling and complete packaging systems. The company serves primarily the medical and pharmaceutical sectors. In 2025, it generated over €20 million in revenue, with a geographic presence concentrated in North America and Europe.

RK Ferramentaria, located in Curitiba, Brazil, specializes in the design and manufacturing of high-cavitation injection moulds, with strong expertise in fast-cycle and thin-wall technologies. Serving the food packaging, catering, cosmetics and pharmaceutical sectors, the company brings high-performance tooling solutions across South America to the Group. In 2025, RK Ferramentaria generated approximately €4 million in revenue. The company operates a 2,000-square-meter facility and employs 65 professionals.

Both entrepreneurs have reinvested in the Mechitronic federation, underscoring their confidence in the Group as a strategic partner to support future growth and unlock new opportunities.

"Welcoming Apex Machine and RK Ferramentaria into our federation significantly strengthens our presence in the Americas, a strategic region for us both industrially and in terms of access to new markets and global customers. These new partnerships enable us to integrate key capabilities across the value chains we are developing and accelerate our international growth in advanced manufacturing. We will continue to seek out new companies to bring into our federation in a still highly fragmented market, with the goal of building a global platform", said Marco Giovannini, Founder and Chairman of Mechitronic
