Eurocomach & Fabbri SRL: The evolution of construction in Southern Italy

From a mechanical workshop to a strategic consultancy for major utility projects: we meet Fabbri SRL, Eurocomach’s benchmark in Southern Italy. A company that has made service excellence and rapid response its trademark

Support Born in the Field

The Fabbri dealership has a history rooted in mechanics. This technical expertise translates into a unique ability to understand the machines and, above all, the needs of those who operate them. Covering both Puglia and Basilicata, Fabbri doesn’t just sell: they ensure that the work never stops.

We interviewed Antonio Fabbri, Managing Director of the namesake company, to understand how Eurocomach has contributed to their growth.

The Interview: A Word with Fabbri SRL

E: You have a significant history that began as a mechanical workshop. How much does this expertise matter in your after-sales service?

For us, technical support comes first. Fabbri started as a workshop, and this DNA drives us to make after-sales service the foundation of everything we do. Today, we also sell spare parts online, but our true value is delivered on the construction site.

Customers choose us because they know they will never be left alone: we offer direct, proactive support to ensure their machines are always operational. Managing service with expertise and speed is what allows us to provide every client with a truly ‘premium, white-glove’ experience.

E: What is the value of having a direct relationship with the manufacturer’s Service department?

It is fundamental. We have a very direct relationship with Eurocomach Service and work in close synergy with their technicians and quality managers. This collaboration allows us to intervene quickly, even when facing the challenges of modern electronics.

Our shared goal is to minimize downtime: when a customer has a problem, we are ready to intervene immediately, often anticipating solutions to ensure the site never stops. It is this responsiveness that makes them choose Eurocomach again.

E: Speaking of products, what sets Eurocomach apart in the eyes of an operator from Puglia or Basilicata?

Beyond the attractive design, it is the performance that wins people over. Eurocomach machines offer superior power and speed compared to their competitors.

We made the real leap in quality through customization: solutions like mulcher systems on small models or triple-articulated booms have created a clear gap between us and other brands. These are machines that allow for applications that were previously unthinkable.

E: What are the driving sectors in your region, and which models do we see most often in action?

In Puglia and Basilicata, we work extensively on renovations and underground utilities. In Salento, for instance, compact models like the 12ZT or 18ZT are ideal for urban construction sites. However, when we move to utilities—aqueducts, fiber optics, power lines—machines between 3.5 and 6.5 tons take center stage.

In these contexts, the excavator becomes a multi-functional machine: thanks to Eurocomach’s hydraulic power, our customers mount cutters, augers, and specialized attachments, transforming the vehicle into a true mobile service center.

Munaretto & Eurocomach: transforming the excavator into a robot

In the heart of the Vicenza area—where construction means precision and managing tight spaces—the partnership between Munaretto and Eurocomach has deep roots. It is a decade-long collaboration born under the sign of Italian “tailor-made” quality, which is now evolving to meet a landmark challenge: labor shortages and the need for automation. We spoke with Mauro Munaretto, head of the namesake company, to understand how technology is reshaping work on the ground.

For Munaretto, choosing Eurocomach was a strategic decision. In a market dominated by global giants, the brand’s Italian identity

Eurocomach is an Italian brand tailored exactly to the needs of our market. The product is designed and developed for us: you can see it in the zero-tail swing machines and the flexibility in customization. If a customer wants a machine in a specific color, Eurocomach answers: ‘It can be done’.

Technology as a Selling Tool: Rental as a Test Drive

Mauro Munaretto has a clear vision regarding technical quality: never skimp on performance, because a machine that works well is the best possible advertisement. An example? The variable displacement pump on the small 14SR.

We have always focused on the highest-performing machines, even in our rental fleet. If you give a customer an entry-level machine that is jerky and lacks power, the brand’s image suffers. If instead you offer a product that works perfectly, the customer returns and buys. Our 14SR fits through 80 cm doors and features a variable displacement pump that makes all the difference: once the operator uses it, they notice it immediately.

The Triple Boom: Evolution Toward the “Construction Site Robot”

One of the key strengths discussed with Munaretto is the geometry of the machines, specifically the triple boom, available across the entire range, from 1.9 to 10 tons.

The excavator is becoming the construction site robot. It once served only for digging, but today it is a tool carrier: grapples, hammers, mulchers. At a time when labor is scarce across Europe, the machine must relieve humans of heavy work and multiply production. The triple boom is like a human hand: it allows you to work in difficult positions with surgical precision.

Zero Tail: Moving Through Italy’s “Tight and Narrow” Spaces

The Italian operating environment consists of historic centers and confined spaces. In this context, the Zero Tail design is a necessity that must, however, coexist with visibility.

We don’t work in the desert or in Dubai; we are always in cramped environments. Zero tail swing is a huge advantage. What we appreciate about Eurocomach is that, despite current technical complexities, the operator still has real visibility from the cab. You don’t need cameras to see where you are: you can do it with your own eyes.

Volatile Group and Eurocomach: 75 years of history at the service of the Sicilian land

From agriculture to earthmoving, spanning three generations and constant evolution. The story of Volatile Bernardo srl is one of deep roots in Sicily, which translates into a consolidated partnership with Eurocomach, built over more than ten years. We met with Bernardo Andrea Volatile to understand how an organization with 55 employees and a network of over 160 people manages to ensure operational continuity in a challenging territory like Sicily.

Global coverage for an island that never stops

With two strategic locations in Palagonia (Catania) and Partinico (Palermo), the Volatile Group embraces both ends of Sicily. It is not just a matter of logistics, but of extensive presence.

We are a deeply rooted organization in the region, explains Bernardo Andrea Volatile. In addition to our main offices, we have contact points and service centers in every town. This allows us to have global coverage and achieve significant numbers compared to our competitors: the Sicilian customer looks for the product, but above all, they look for us as a point of reference.”

Service: where trust is born

For Bernardo Andrea, service is the engine that drives repeat purchases. With 17 specialized mechanics and a spare parts warehouse spanning 3,000 square meters (featuring 8 vertical storage systems), the Volatile Group has transformed its after-sales service into a national benchmark of excellence.

In the first phase, the customer must get to know the quality of the Eurocomach product, but it is the speed of the intervention that drives them to purchase a second or third machine.

Today, an excavator is more about hydraulics than electronics, and it requires specific expertise: the technicians at Volatile Bernardo srl are dedicated exclusively to the brand and know exactly where to intervene to minimize machine downtime.

The technological challenge: “The triple boom is like an automatic transmission”

A central theme of the interview is the introduction of advanced geometries in a market traditionally linked to the monolithic boom. Bernardo Andrea Volatile highlights Eurocomach’s ability to offer unique solutions that transform the way work is done on the job site.

We offer machines that others simply don’t have in their catalog. Take the versions with a triple boom: it is a technology that, once tried, becomes indispensable. It’s like an automatic transmission in a car: you never go back.

The two-piece boom allows for negative depth work with surgical precision or lifting manhole covers and materials close to the machine, which is impossible with a traditional boom.

This versatility also applies to the Zero Tail (ZT) models, which are essential for Sicilian construction sites often wedged between historical centers and narrow streets. “For those working in urban maintenance, having a short-radius machine that does not overhang the tracks is a huge logistical advantage,” Bernardo Andrea tells us. “If you add the geometry of an articulated boom to this, a mini-excavator is transformed into a versatile tool for solving previously insurmountable space problems.”

From port works to the comfort of the new range

Eurocomach machines are also key players in the island’s major restoration projects, such as the recent reconstruction work in Sicilian ports following storm surges. This is where the fleet’s most imposing models, such as the 100TR, come into play.
