What Rossi Group does

Rossi Group is a privately held Italian industrial power transmission manufacturer founded in 1953 in Modena by Gilio Rossi, operating as Rossi S.p.A. since its 2010 rebranding from Rossi Motoriduttori. The company designs and produces gear reducers, gearmotors, electric motors, and complementary motion-control products spanning a torque range from 30Nm to 3,000,000Nm. Its product portfolio is organized into industrial gear units (G helical/bevel helical, GX extruder, H heavy-duty, EP planetary, EP King high-torque planetary, EP Winch, EPS slewing drives, RE drive units), gearmotors (iFit interchangeable series, A/AS worm, E coaxial, SR servo variants), electric motors (S roller-table, TX asynchronous three-phase), and motion/measurement products (dDrive decentralized inverter, TM torque measuring system). Products are engineered to industry certifications including AGMA, GL, CTI, ISO 9001, and OHSAS 18001, with applications across 11 industrial segments: chemical, construction, food & beverage, industrial, marine, metal, mining, plastic & rubber, power generation, sugar, and recycling/wastewater.

The company sells customized, quote-priced hardware solutions through a hybrid distribution model combining 17 directly operated affiliated companies in key geographies with a broader network of distribution partners and service centers reaching 90+ countries and 5,000+ customers worldwide. Revenue is generated primarily from hardware sales, supplemented by after-sales services, spare parts, training, and digital tools (Rossi 360+ suite, Fast Delivery 72-hour, Pick & Ship 24-hour, Rossi Online Configurator). Since 2009 Rossi has operated as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Switzerland-based Habasit Holding AG (operating under the Moovimenta Group umbrella), having previously expanded capabilities through the 1997 acquisition of SEIMEC (Italian motor manufacturer) and 2002 incorporation of SMEI (Italian planetary gear unit manufacturer). Recent innovation activity has centered on the iFit interchangeable gearmotor series and dDrive inverter (2021–2022 launches), the Rossi 360+ digital ecosystem and new Ganaceto production plant (2024), and the EP Winch planetary gearbox for winch applications (April 2026).
