What M.T. Motori Elettrici does

M.T. Motori Elettrici S.R.L. is an Italian electric motor manufacturer founded in 1994, headquartered in San Giovanni in Persiceto (Bologna) with a registered office in Milan. The company designs, engineers, and manufactures a comprehensive range of standard three-phase and single-phase asynchronous motors (IEC sizes 55–200, power 0.05–37 kW), alongside specialized variants including brake motors, stationary brake motors, high braking torque motors, and drum motors (motorized rollers) for belt conveying systems. All motors are 100% Made in Italy at a 6,000 m² production facility with annual capacity of 100,000 units, and are supplied standard with ATEX certifications (zones 2-22 and 1-21), UL-CSA certifications, and ISO 9001:2015 quality system accreditation, addressing safety-critical applications in hazardous environments.

The company generates revenue through direct sales and an extensive distribution network in Italy comprising regional distributors, agents, and company branches. Internationally (35% of revenue), M.T. leverages the Moonind Group's subsidiary network across Poland, France, Germany, and other markets, with the parent group claiming presence in 68 countries across five continents. M.T. also supplies custom motor-gearbox assemblies (gearmotors) by combining its motors with Tramec gearboxes, and offers extensive customization including encoder integration, IP66 semi-closed configurations for car wash, servo-ventilated cooling (IC416), and customer-specific shaft designs. A web-based 3D product configurator (developed with Cadenas) supports direct engineer engagement with 150+ CAD format downloads.

Since June 2021, M.T. has operated as a wholly-owned subsidiary first within Tramec Srl (acquired concurrently by IGI Private Equity) and from November 2024 within Moonind Group, an industrial consortium combining M.T., Tramec, BER-MAR, and Varmec into a complete automation solutions provider. Headcount stands at 33 employees with stated annual turnover of €13,000,000 (65% domestic, 35% international). Effective January 2026, the Ber-Mar business unit will be operationally consolidated into M.T.'s San Giovanni in Persiceto facility, creating a Moonind center of excellence for motion and control products. Primary end markets are industrial manufacturing segments including machine tools, conveyor systems, packaging machines, woodworking, metallurgical, industrial door systems, and car wash systems.

Partnerships

Two partnerships are on record, tiered minor and core.

• Mitsubishi ElectricminorStrategic or Co-development Partner · 28 October 2025Mitsubishi Electric visited Tramec with a delegation including strategic product managers and representatives from Japan to strengthen the partnership between the two companies. The meeting focused on technical and strategic discussions exploring industrial synergies and defining next steps toward developing a new generation of high-efficiency gearmotors. Michele Gavino, CEO of Moonind Group, noted shared vision for the future of industrial automation.
• Moonind Group (Moving On Industries)coreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 12 November 2024Moonind is an industrial group formed in late 2024 combining four companies: M.T. Motori Elettrici, Tramec Srl, BER-MAR Srl, and Varmec S.r.l. The group represents the fusion of complementary skills from speed reducers to electric motors, motion control systems, and power transmission solutions. M.T. Motori Elettrici joined the Moonind group as part of an industrial integration strategy, positioning the combined entity as a complete automation solutions provider. In 2025, the first Moonind center of excellence for motion & control was created, integrating MT and Ber-Mar at the San Giovanni in Persiceto facility.

Direct peers

• Nord Drivesystems: German family-owned manufacturer of gearmotors, electric motors, and drive electronics. Comparable to MT as a mid-sized European specialist offering IEC motors combined with gearboxes for industrial applications.
• Bonfiglioli: Italian-headquartered manufacturer of gearmotors, drive systems, and electric motors serving industrial automation. Closely comparable to MT: similar Italian manufacturing base, broad IEC motor and gearmotor portfolio, and comparable customer verticals (material handling, packaging, food processing).
• Lafert Group: Italian electric motor manufacturer (now part of Sumitomo Heavy Industries) specialising in industrial and high-efficiency motors. Closely comparable to MT on product (standard and custom IEC motors) and on Italian manufacturing heritage.
• SEW-Eurodrive: Global German manufacturer of gearmotors, electronics, and drive systems for industrial automation. Highly comparable to MT's gearmotor assembly offering and to its industrial customer base (conveyors, packaging, automotive plants).
• Cemer Motor: Turkish manufacturer of standard and special-purpose AC electric motors serving industrial applications. Comparable to MT on product range, customization capabilities, and export-oriented mid-market positioning.

Broad incumbents

• Siemens: Global German industrial conglomerate whose SIMOTICS portfolio covers standard and high-efficiency industrial motors. Overlaps with MT's product line but offers full drive-and-automation bundling that MT cannot match as a niche specialist.
• ABB: Global Swedish-Swiss industrial technology major with a broad IEC motor portfolio (ABB Motors and Generators) alongside drives and automation. Overlaps with MT's product range and customer segments but competes from a much larger scale and integrated solutions offering.
• Regal Rexnord: US-listed manufacturer of power transmission and motion control products including Marathon, Leeson, and Hub City brands. Comparable to MT on motor and gearmotor products and on industrial customer segments.
• WEG: Brazilian global manufacturer of electric motors, drives, and power transmission products. Overlaps with MT on IEC low-voltage motors and gearmotors, and is a major competitor in the European mid-market where MT operates.

Others

• Tramec: Italian gearbox and power transmission manufacturer, sister company of MT within the Moonind Group. Not a competitor but a closely adjacent ecosystem partner; MT assembles motor-gearbox combinations using Tramec gearboxes, making Tramec a relevant comparable for the integrated Moonind value proposition.
