Our history

Late 80s - early 90s

After graduating high school with a diploma in mechanical engineering, David Rota began his work experience in the family owned workshop building molds for cold-processing sheet metalworking.
The tough training in the long run yielded the desired results: he soon learnt how to use all the machinery in the workshop, acquiring the basic know-how in mechanical milling, lathing, electrical discharge machining (EDM), bench machining, assembly and mold testing.
Passionate about work, he introduced new computer numerical control (CNC) machines and new design systems that would allow the company to take the next step.

Late 90s - early 2000s - a new adventure

David Rota’s interest in machine tools, new technologies, innovations and the ever-changing production processes in the engineering sector convinced him to pursue what has proven to be his call, the sale of industrial machinery. Ultimately he partnered with prestigious international brands developing new skills, especially an in-depth knowledge of the market by coming into contact with Northern Italy’s rich industrial reality.

2000s - something is changing ...

The experience gained through the sale of new machine tools slowly evolved towards the sale of used machinery. Meanwhile the Web was making giant leaps forward, giving a glimpse into the future and its full range of opportunities. The 2008-2009 crises was interpreted as a sign for change and it was with this spirit that David Rota founded Industrialbay, a company that uses the Web as the main tool for the sale of used machines.

Year 2012 - a new arrival

This idea worked so well that Industrialbay became an important reality in the Italian sector of used machinery. The market expanded both in Italy and abroad. Along this journey David Rota met Diego Sforza, an expert with a vast experience in the sale of industrial machinery in the international market. David, Diego and his partner Heloise Verona founded a new company, Makinate, targeting the international market. The new company offers used systems and machines for the packaging-processing sector in five different languages.

Year 2020 - the future awaits us

Thanks to their skills and hard work, Makinate becomes a reference point for Europe - an achievement Diego and Heloise are very proud of. Changes happen quickly; things cannot be set in stone. This is the reason why David Rota decides it is time to transform Industrialbay into Industrialbuyer, a modern and technologically advanced platform in which the user has many more available tools at their disposal with which to identify the ideal solution for their production. The tool bar can be filtered by: category, technical charts, links to all social media and one can also chat with an operator. This is just the beginning.
