Our business areas

Duplomatic divides its business into synergistic but distinct areas. We understand the importance of specialisation, combined with expertise to develop innovative solutions with a multidisciplinary approach focused on the customer and their technical requirements.
Thus Duplomatic offers an extensive range of hydraulic and electronic components for electric actuators, incorporating IO-Link technology, to satisfy industrial and Industry 4.0 applications for businesses and OEMs.
The company also offers customers complex tools and turnkey solutions, allowing them to rely on a single, qualified supplier.

SMART PRODUCTION

Duplomatic has structured its production in order to directly control all steps, both at Italian sites and abroad.

Production facilities are organised according to consistent standards and strategically decentralised to offer quicker service to international markets. Our Chinese facility, for example, enables us to promptly fulfil requirements of the local market, which would be difficult to achieve from abroad.

Furthermore, all of our production facilities are organised according to lean-manufacturing processes, guaranteeing a competitive and high-quality service for Italian and international customers.

An example of this can be seen in the application of lean principles for the restructuring of production divisions at our headquarters in Parabiago, where valves and standard components are manufactured, and also at our Hydraulic Systems business unit in Lainate, where we process more complex custom production orders.

ASSOCIATIONS

Duplomatic MS is a member of the confederation system. Assolombarda is the association for businesses operating in the Metropolitan City of Milan and in the provinces of Lodi, Monza & Brianza, and Pavia. In terms of size and representation, Assolombarda is the biggest association of the entire Confindustria system. It currently represents and safeguards the interests of around 6,700 companies, goods manufacturers and suppliers of services across all goods sectors, totalling over 403,000 employees.

 

Since the founding of Assofluid - Federtec, over fifty years ago, Duplomatic has played an active role in projects organised by this trade association. We believe this is the best way to ensure that we are involved in strategic discussions, allowing us to expound the values and specific characteristics of the hydraulics and fluid dynamics sectors.

 

Lombardy Energy Cleantech Cluster (LE2C) is a technology cluster recognised by the regional authority of Lombardy that was founded in 2009 to support growth, innovation and competition in the energy & environment sector. It is an “extended laboratory” with the potential to develop projects across research, innovation and business. This is possible due to the presence of around 140 small, medium and large businesses, entrepreneurial associations and non-profit organisations, universities, and research centres, public administrations, financial institutions and specialist bodies. Duplomatic is a member of the LE2C cluster, promoting innovation and synergies with the world of research.

 

Lean Club founded in 2011 by the LIUC university (Università Cattaneo di Castellanza [Varese]) aimed at spreading the lean-process philosophy. “Doing more and doing it better, with less” is possible with a system of techniques and tools that allow individual companies or entire industrial hubs to become more competitive on the global stage.
