ITALY –   Scm Group, a global leader in material-processing technologies and industrial components, will expand its portfolio to include MES/MOM digital systems—Manufacturing Execution Systems and Manufacturing Operations Management—by integrating Tecnest’s advanced software, technologies and decades of expertise.

For Tecnest, a key player in production planning and supply chain management solutions, the partnership provides an opportunity to accelerate international growth by leveraging Scm Group’s global footprint while maintaining full operational and strategic continuity.

“Today, competitive advantage is no longer defined solely by machinery, but by the ability to integrate it into a connected, resilient and sustainable production model,” said Marco Mancini, CEO of Scm Group. “The agreement with Tecnest aligns fully with our vision, rooted in advanced technologies, digital innovation and value-added services to support companies on their path to operational efficiency.”

Tecnest CEO Giorgio P. Apolloni, also a shareholder alongside Fabio Pettarin and Mario Chientaroli, emphasized that the company will continue to operate with the same stability and close relationships with customers, partners and employees. “The partnership with Scm Group opens the door to accelerated growth and long-term business sustainability,” he said.
