Holdim

What Holdim does

Holdim SpA is an Italian privately held industrial holding company founded in 1991 (originally as Dimensione Sport) and headquartered in Milan, Italy. The group operates nine wholly-owned subsidiaries across engine calibration, electronic tuning, and alternative-fuel systems, employing approximately 250 people and generating €70 million in turnover across 160 active markets. Its two anchor brands are Dimsport, which develops ECU remapping tools (RACE, TheGenius, New Trasdata), add-on performance modules (Rapid, Rapid Bike), and power test benches (Dyno, Dynorace A2ction); and Ecomotive Solutions, which specializes in alternative-fuel engine controls, Diesel Dual Fuel platforms, hydrogen dual-fuel systems (H-Dual), and conversion kits for OEM, retrofit, industrial, railway, and marine applications. Supporting subsidiaries—Autogas Italia, Bigas, RAIL, Valis, GreenForce, GLF Turbine, and Agridea—extend the group into CNG/LPG conversion, environmental engineering (vapor recovery, water/gas treatment), hydrogen fuel cells, turbochargers, and agricultural solutions.

The group's underlying technology is rooted in proprietary ECU setting files covering Bosch, Continental/VITESCO, Marelli, and Denso platforms, validated on its own Monferrato Circuit test track and Dyno benches. It serves OEMs and engine manufacturers, fleet operators and transport companies (including Cotral LNG buses and Port of Livorno RTG cranes), professional mechanics and tuners, motorcycle enthusiasts, and the agricultural and railway sectors, with reference customers including Ducati, BMW, Ford Trucks, Honda, KTM, Yamaha, DAF, and New Holland. The business model is predominantly hardware sales of modules, test equipment, and conversion systems, complemented by one-time software/tool licensing (RACE, TheGenius) and project-based environmental installations (Valis). Distribution combines direct commercial branches in Italy, Spain, the USA, and Paraguay with a global authorized dealer network and brand-specific e-commerce sites, supported by an active international trade-show presence.
