Moveco

What Moveco does

Moveco S.r.l. is an Italian privately held hydraulic systems manufacturer founded in 1988 in Grignasco (Novara), specializing in two product families: helical rotary actuators and integrated hydraulic circuits (manifolds). The company operates six proprietary rotary actuator series (ARC, ARL, ARM, ARP, ARR, ARS) covering torque ranges from 90 Nm to 65,000+ Nm, with rotation angles from 90° to 360°, alongside custom-designed manifolds that consolidate multiple valve and control functions into a single block to reduce machine footprint, weight, and energy consumption. Engineering, 3D modeling, simulation, machining, assembly, and 100% testing are performed in-house across a ~15,000 sqm facility (expanded in 2023).

Moveco serves industrial OEM customers across mining equipment, aerial work platforms, material handling, industrial machinery, offshore/marine, agricultural machinery, and special applications including renewable energy, generating revenue primarily through custom hardware sales priced via quote. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales with direct OEM engagement from initial design through testing and delivery, supplemented by participation in major international trade shows (GIS Expo, EIMA International, Bauma Munich/China) and an international distributor network. Distribution reach has been materially expanded by a 2003 HydraForce partnership (access to 120+ global distributors; Moveco is HydraForce's official Italian representative) and a 2024 partnership with Bosch Rexroth Group adding motors, pumps, bankable distributors, and custom mini powerpacks to the commercial portfolio.

The company is family-controlled by co-founders Marco Rotti and Guido Rotti Gianet, with second-generation member Francesca Rotti joining in 2014; a wholly-owned subsidiary, Moveco Systems S.r.l., was spun off in 2016 to focus on palletized goods handling, leaving Moveco S.r.l. concentrated on hydraulic components. The firm held ISO 9001 certification from 2001 and added ISO 14001, ISO 45001, Model 231, and ISO 3834 certifications between 2025 and 2026. Headcount stood at approximately 60 employees as of 2018, and revenue is not publicly disclosed.

Revenue model

1. Custom Hydraulic Actuator Sales: Moveco designs and manufactures highly customized helical rotary actuators sold directly to industrial OEM customers across multiple sectors. Products range from standard series to fully custom designs developed in collaboration with customers for specific applications. Revenue is generated through project-based custom manufacturing with full testing and delivery.
2. Integrated Hydraulic Circuit (Manifold) Sales: Custom manifolds designed and produced for specific hydraulic systems, sold as standalone components or integrated with the company's actuators. These are engineered to optimize machine performance, reduce weight and footprint, with pricing based on complexity and customization level.
3. Bosch Rexroth Product Distribution: Following the 2024 partnership with Bosch Rexroth, Moveco expanded its offering to include Bosch Rexroth motors, pumps, bankable distributors, and custom mini powerpacks, adding a distribution/commercial component to revenue streams.
