Comacchio X: A New Chapter in Mineral Exploration
Innovative Drilling Rigs & Engineering Solutions Since 1986
Founded in 1986 by the Comacchio brothers, Comacchio S.p.A. was born from a bold entrepreneurial vision: to revolutionize the drilling industry. Over the years, through continuous innovation, rigorous testing, and an unwavering commitment to safety, we have earned a global reputation as a trusted leader in the design and manufacturing of cutting-edge drilling rigs.
Safety is at the heart of everything we do: protecting operators, field personnel, and the environment while delivering reliable, high-performance solutions. Our extensive expertise spans a broad range of specialized fields, including Geotechnical Drilling, Foundation Engineering, Ground Improvement, Tunneling, Water Well Drilling, Geothermal Energy Extraction, and Mineral Exploration. Each sector benefits from our proven technical solutions, meticulously engineered to navigate the most demanding geological and operational challenges while prioritizing safety at every level.
With a legacy built on proven performance and robust engineering, we continuously push the boundaries of drilling technology. Our rigs are engineered for maximum uptime, precision, and adaptability, capable of overcoming complex geological formations, from hard rock to unconsolidated soils. Whether it’s vertical core drilling at extreme depths with wireline retrieval systems or rapid reverse circulation drilling for mineral exploration, our solutions are designed to excel under the most demanding conditions.
Comacchio X: Redefining Mineral Exploration Drilling.
In 2025, to better serve the evolving needs of the mining sector, we launched Comacchio X, a dedicated division focused exclusively on mineral exploration technology. This strategic move marks a new chapter in the way we work with our clients: not simply selling machines but delivering a personalized experience that combines cutting-edge engineering with practical expertise gained through direct collaboration with our clients’ teams on site. Supporting this innovative approach is a multidisciplinary technical team, spanning geotechnical engineers, geologists, soil specialists, and mechanical experts. This rich pool of knowledge allows us to design drilling rigs capable of tackling a variety of geological and lithological challenges, ensuring reliable performance in complex subsurface conditions. Our deep understanding of the terrain and the drilling process translates into more effective, efficient, and safer operations for our clients.
Engineering innovation meets safety.
At Comacchio X, we believe that innovation extends beyond performance metrics; it encompasses protecting those who work in the field. That’s why we invest heavily in advanced safety systems, ergonomic operator controls, and real-time monitoring solutions, all aimed at safeguarding lives and optimizing productivity. Our commitment is to be not just a supplier but a trusted partner, offering sound advice, technical expertise, and reliable equipment that drives success in every project.
