What Seipee does

Seipee S.p.A. is an Italian industrial electric motor manufacturer founded in 1972 in Bastiglia and headquartered in Campogalliano (Modena), now led by the second generation of the Salvarani family. The company designs and produces a portfolio of nine motor families spanning three-phase asynchronous (Serie JM/GM/JMD/GMD), self-braking (JMK/GMK), single-phase (JMM/JMML), ATEX-certified explosion-proof (Zones 22 and 2, categories 3G/3D), hygienic IP69K AISI 316L stainless-steel (MAAT), medium/high-voltage (Y/YX/YKK/YXKK up to 1,250 kW and 10 kV), compact extruded aluminum (E/HPE), IE4 brushless permanent-magnet synchronous (iMotor EOS and Zephyrus, co-developed with the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia) and synchronous reluctance (XTM, 5.5-200 kW, 92.6%-97.4% efficiency) motors. Production, FEA-based design and ATEX certification are performed in-house at the Campogalliano plant.

The business model is a hybrid B2B hardware-and-service operation. Roughly 1,200 customized motor configurations per year are co-designed with client R&D teams and delivered in 5-20 days (modified) or 50 days (off-program), while standard motors ship within 48 hours from what Seipee claims is the largest ready-stock electric-motor warehouse in Italy; an Express 24/48 service adds 40%/20% surcharges with a satisfaction-or-refund guarantee. Pricing is quote-based in EUR per Order Confirmation. Distribution combines a direct field sales force and inside-sales office in Italy, an Export front-office serving 30+ countries, a capillary network of agents and distributors supported by a dedicated "Area Agenti" portal, and a self-serve B2B portal (b2b.seipee.it) with bidirectional REST API integration to client ERP/PLM systems. Customers include industrial OEM/machine builders, food & beverage, pharmaceutical and chemical processors, hazardous-atmosphere operators (flour milling, woodworking, chemicals), heavy-industry users, and single-phase/small-power end users. The company is certified to ISO 9001:2015, CE, UKCA, UL, EAC, CCC, ATEX, DNV-GL and RINA, holds a Rating di Legalità and a Cerved ESG Scorecard (2025), and operates an academic co-development partnership with the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia.
