Acrylic (PMMA)
for every
need
One material, different applications in every sector.
Every field asks something different of acrylic (PMMA): transparency, tolerances, finish, strength. We study your requirements to overcome every challenge your sector presents, from design to lighting, from medical to slow burning components.
What we work on
Find what you need or propose a new project
The main fields where Macchi Serafino applies acrylic (PMMA), each with its own key technical requirement. The same care, tuned each time to your project.
Aesthetic finish and durability for your design
Design & furnishing
- Mirror polishing
- Large formats
- Colour and satin finishes
Furniture elements, accessories and surfaces where aesthetic quality is the value. Large formats with mirror finish, stable colour and clean geometries, maintaining transparency and flatness over time.
Light transmission and diffusion
Lighting
- Opal diffusers
- Light guides
- Light transmission
Diffusers, light guides and optical shields where light output and uniformity matter. Clear acrylic (PMMA) with up to 92% light transmission, or opal for homogeneous diffusion, without yellowing.
Precision and easy-to-sanitise surfaces
Medical
- Tight tolerances
- Screens and guards
- Smooth surfaces
- High transparency
Transparent technical components, shields and protections for equipment. Tight tolerances, smooth surfaces that are easy to sanitise and excellent readability, with dimensional checks on every piece.
Precision-turned components
Musical instruments
- Turning
- Cylindrical components
- One-off or series
- Flexibility
Turned parts, technical hardware and cylindrical components where dimensional precision and surface finish are critical. Macchi’s historic craftsmanship applied to technical and aesthetic acrylic (PMMA) elements.
Precision and absolute confidentiality
Slow burning components
- Precision turning
- Slow burning
- Anonymous production
- Contract manufacturing
Turned components and acrylic (PMMA) mouthpieces for the slow burning industry: made since 1885 to precise tolerances and finished to specification. All production is strictly anonymous and confidential, made on behalf of third parties.
Ergonomics and finish
Cutlery
- Handles
- Stable colour
- Satin finish
- Cutlery sets
Handles, components and cutlery sets in coloured, clear or satin acrylic (PMMA). Ergonomic shapes, stable colour and refined surfaces that create unique objects.

Areas to explore together
Automotive, marine, retail, new materials and applications yet to be invented. When a project calls for acrylic (PMMA) but isn’t yet in our catalogue, we develop it with you: we start from the technical file or from an idea and look for the processes that don’t exist yet. This is the territory of Macchi Forma.
Why Macchi, in every industry
A single point of contact, from drawing to production
We don’t start from a catalogue of finished products, but from the technical need you bring us. That is how 140 years of turning have grown from the pipe mouthpiece to lighting, medical and design.
Integrated processes
Milling, laser cutting, turning, hot bending and finishing under one roof: no outsourced steps, full control over quality and lead times.
Total confidentiality
Drawings, samples and information about your project stay between us. Much of our contract work is unbranded: the product carries your name, not ours.
Repeatable precision
From prototype to series, every piece follows the same process and the same dimensional checks: what you approve in the sample is what you receive in production.
