Gambini Meccanica

What Gambini Meccanica does

Gambini Meccanica SRL is a privately-held Italian manufacturer of high-precision mechanical transmission components, headquartered and produced entirely in Pesaro, Italy. Founded in 1978 by Luigino Gambini and Carmen Donati as an artisanal workshop, the company has evolved into a certified, technology-driven supplier of racks (helical, straight, linear-guide, and round), gears (helical and straight), gear wheels, pinions (with shaft and splined bore), and worm screw / helical crown sets. Its entire manufacturing cycle is performed in-house — from raw material cutting through CNC turning, gear cutting, heat treatment, precision grinding, and quality control — and is backed by ISO 9001 (since 1998), ISO 45001 (since 2012), ISO 14001 (since 2022), AEO customs certification, and UNI/PDR 125:2022 gender equality certification.

The company's commercial activity is B2B and horizontal across at least four OEM end-markets — industrial automation (including robotics and automated warehouses), machine tools (wood, marble, aluminum, glass), food processing and agricultural machinery, and specialized industrial equipment (laser/waterjet cutting, welding, packaging). GTM combines direct enterprise sales from Pesaro with wholly-owned commercial subsidiaries in Munich (Gambini Deutschland GmbH) and Suzhou (Gambini (Suzhou) Drive Technology Co. Ltd, founded 2020), a US channel partner (Hexelus LLC), an international distribution network spanning 46+ countries, an e-commerce shop for standard catalog items, and active participation in major trade shows (Hannover Messe, Automatica, IMTS, Elmia, Motek). Revenue is generated through one-off sales of standard products and custom-engineered specials priced on a quote basis, supported by an online sizing calculator that helps customers dimension gears, racks, pinions, and crowns from load, speed, and module inputs during the design phase.
