Powerflex

What Powerflex does

Powerflex S.r.l., founded in 1996 in Limatola, Benevento, Italy, is an engineering and manufacturing firm specializing in vibration isolation, seismic protection, and transport systems for sensitive equipment. Its core product portfolio centers on wire rope isolators (PWHK and PWHS series), rubber mounts (PWEN series), the Kombat line of high-performance protective containers and cases in aluminum, composite, and polymer (PWKS, PWKN, PWKF, PWKW, PWKC, PWKR, PWRN series), 19-inch ruggedized rack structures, and the Powertronics electronics line including control and monitoring boards (CMB), power distribution units (PDU), and cabinet monitor units (CMU). The company also delivers CAD 3D design, FEM-based structural and thermo-fluidodynamic modeling and analysis, and environmental qualification testing services.

Powerflex serves defense, avionics, naval, railway, and cultural heritage customers, with named primes including Leonardo, Thales, MBDA, Northrop Grumman, Fincantieri, and Elettronica Group in defense and aerospace, ENEL in energy, and ENEA alongside the Vatican Museums, the Louvre, and Italian national museums in cultural heritage. Its go-to-market is sales-led and B2B, executed through direct enterprise relationships, trade show participation (Paris Air Show, Farnborough, DSEI London, EUROSATORY), and regional cluster activity via DAC and Confindustria Benevento. Revenue is generated from hardware sales of proprietary products and from custom engineering services priced via enterprise quotation; no public pricing or revenue figures are disclosed.

The company holds ISO 9001:2016, ISO 14001, ISO 18001, and ISO 9100 aerospace quality certifications, a UN qualification for Aluminium Large Packaging, and is pursuing ISO 13485 for medical devices. It operates three production facilities in Limatola. In March 2022 Powerflex became a brand of Mare Group S.p.A., and on December 31, 2025 it was merged by incorporation into Mare Group, ceasing to exist as a separate legal entity.
