Italian pump manufacturer with sustainability-focused water solutions
Calpeda is a 65-year-old pump manufacturer operating from Italy with 201–500 employees, now part of Wateralia (backed by Ambienta, a European environmental asset manager). The tech stack—SAP S/4HANA with full Microsoft cloud integration—indicates a mid-market manufacturing operation in mid-digital transformation. Current hiring focuses on operations roles in Italy, with active work on ESG reporting and ISO compliance, suggesting pressure to formalize sustainability governance alongside legacy system modernization.
Calpeda designs and manufactures water pumping systems for industrial and municipal applications, operating from Montorso Vicentino in northern Italy. The company was acquired in 2022 by Wateralia, positioning it within a larger consolidation focused on water-resource management and environmental sustainability. Operations run on SAP S/4HANA with a Microsoft 365 / Azure ecosystem for IT infrastructure. Core challenges center on ISO 14001 compliance, IT infrastructure stability, cybersecurity, inventory optimization, and order-to-cash process integration—typical pain points for established manufacturers scaling sustainability and digital practices.
