Sigma, the Italian manufacturer of kneading machines and planetary mixers, and Spiromatic, the Belgian leader in pre-food processing, are proud to announce the formation of SCUDO. This joint venture is set to become a global benchmark in automated and customised dough mixing solutions for industrial production.

SCUDO: Specialised and Customised Dough Mixing Solutions

SCUDO is dedicated to helping its customers navigate market challenges by addressing the unique production requirements of each client. The company leverages cutting-edge technologies to reduce production costs and waste, while managing increasingly complex production systems. SCUDO offers automated, flexible solutions that ensure full integration of ingredient handling and dough-mixing processes. Key features of SCUDO include hygienic design and the monitoring of unique predictive parameters.

Customised Solutions for a Diverse Market

“The industrial bakery and pastry market is diverse,” says Stefano Salvadori, President of SCUDO. “We offer customised solutions tailored to our customers’ specific needs, utilising innovative technologies. We manage entire projects, from manufacturing and assembly to integration of automated solutions, installation, and after-sales services.”

SCUDO combines the extensive experience of its founding companies with a strong focus on automation and innovation. The company is committed to becoming a global leader in industrial solutions for mixing products such as bread, pizza, tortillas, pastries, biscuits, waffles, and cakes.

Innovation at the Core

“Automation is essential in our mixing solutions,” says Dirk Dhont, Director of SCUDO. “Global competition has pushed companies to diversify their offerings, increasing production complexity. SCUDO solutions are designed to manage this complexity, enhancing customer flexibility and responsiveness to market demands.”

SCUDO’s R&D department continuously seeks the most advanced solutions. A team of skilled technicians and specialised engineers develops smart solutions to reduce production management costs. SCUDO’s integrated systems allow real-time monitoring of performance parameters, optimising production flow. “Through predictive maintenance planning, we minimise machine downtime, boost production efficiency, and improve safety standards,” comments Andrea Gnocchi, R&D Manager of SCUDO.

Comprehensive Support

SCUDO provides 24/7 support throughout the entire lifecycle of its installed solutions. Customers can rely on SCUDO for all types of support, including mechanical, electronic, and automation services.

The joint venture benefits from the expertise and experience of Sigma and Spiromatic staff and is actively recruiting new team members. SCUDO’s legal and manufacturing headquarters are located in Italy, with its R&D centre based in Belgium.

Years of successful collaboration between Sigma and Spiromatic form the foundation of SCUDO. Both companies will continue their traditional activities independently.
