Yep: minipack-torre (not a typo - no caps) imported by minipack-america. Italian made commercial grade sealers, their smallest models are suitable for home use. Superbly made, and their dealers carry all parts - from the piston vacuum pumps to the sealing elements. All parts are designed to be able to be replaced should they fail.

We've had ours for a couple of years now, and the sealers you can buy from your local retail stores aren't in the same league. The minipack will give you better seals, and you can adjust the sealing element so that it will provide an optimum seal regardless of the bag thickness. The seal is also twice as wide as the typical "home" units, which means the seals are stronger and less susceptible to damage or failure. (You don't need to double seal with a minipack!)
