What Ferrara Avvolgimenti does

Ferrara Avvolgimenti S.R.L. (FA - Ferrara Avvolgimenti) is an Italian private limited company founded in May 2009 and headquartered in Bedonia, in the Province of Parma. The company specializes in the custom manufacture of windings and complete electric motors, producing single-phase, two-phase, and three-phase windings across frame sizes from mec 56 to mec 225 in all standard and special polarities. Since 2015 it has held ATEX certification for the production of explosion-proof motors, serving hazardous-environment applications.

Operations are organized across eight integrated in-house production phases: manual winding (powered by operators with 15+ years of experience), internally designed semi-automatic winding, robotic anthropomorphic automatic winding, a finishing department with four flexible lines for stapling/tying/tubing, an electrical testing department (surge tests, DC dielectric, polarization index, partial discharge, online diagnostics), an integrated impregnation-and-curing paint/oven system, cold and hot insertion into aluminum or cast-iron housings with turning up to mec 180, and a barcode-based traceability system that issues per-lot quality certificates archived in a long-term database. The company also performs cast-iron frame machining.

Ferrara Avvolgimenti runs a direct B2B sales motion with no public pricing, quoting on custom jobs and accepting orders from as few as 1-3 pieces, which positions it for both small repair work and larger serial contracts. The customer base was substantially inherited from Elettrogamma Srl through a 2012-2015 lease-then-assignment of two business units (automatic winding in Bedonia and motor manufacturing/winding in Compiano), following a 2013 ownership change that initiated a four-year restructuring plan. Today the firm operates a 3,000 sqm facility, employs 90 people, and runs annual capacity of approximately 660,000 windings and 2,900 chassis per day.

Core offering

Ferrara Avvolgimenti manufactures custom electric motor windings and complete motors, offering production services across manual, semi-automatic, and fully automated robotic winding lines for motor sizes from mec 50 to mec 225. The company performs the full production cycle including winding, finishing, electrical testing, impregnation/curing, and motor housing assembly, with ATEX-certified explosion-proof motor production since 2015.

Product overview

Ferrara Avvolgimenti s.r.l. is an electric motor winding and manufacturing company offering a comprehensive suite of services organized across 8 integrated production phases. The core offering consists of winding services for electric motors ranging from mec 56 to mec 225, available in manual, semi-automatic, and fully automated robotic configurations. These windings serve multiple applications including electric pumps, submersible pumps, gearmotors, and compressors. The company provides complete in-house production capability from winding through finishing (stapling, tying, tubing), quality testing (electrical compliance, surge, partial discharge), impregnation/curing, and motor housing assembly. An internal production traceability system with barcode tracking and database archiving supports quality control. Since 2015, the company has been ATEX-certified for explosion-proof electric motors. The company can handle small orders starting from 1-3 pieces.

Products and services

• Manual Winding (Bobinatura e Avvolgimento Manuale) Manual winding and coiling service for electric motors with power ranges from kW 0.09 to kW 132, covering any specification and polarity. Performed by operators with 15+ years of experience for motor manufacturers and industrial clients.
• Semi-automatic Winding (Avvolgimento Semiautomatico) Semi-automatic winding service using internally developed production systems combining operator expertise with precision machinery for dimensional wire control and quality testing. Designed for windings with particular characteristics.
• Robotic Automatic Winding (Avvolgimento Automatico Robot) Fully automated robotic winding production line using multifunctional anthropomorphic robots that autonomously perform all movements and piece transfers between production stations. Non-conforming semi-finished products are automatically diverted to a separate output line.
• Winding Finishing Department (Reparto Finiture Avvolgimenti) Finishing department with four flexible production lines for stapling, wiring, crown tying, and tubing operations on windings of any connection type and dimension. Flexible personnel and interchangeable equipment enable rapid production adaptation.
• Electrical Testing Department (Reparto Collaudi) Quality testing department performing electrical compliance tests including surge tests for internal insulation quality, DC non-destructive dielectric strength tests, polarization index determination, partial discharge tests, and online electric motor diagnostics.
• Impregnation and Curing System (Verniciatura e Forno) Integrated painting and oven system that combines impregnation and curing phases in a fully automated cycle, reducing processing times while maintaining product quality. Bath impregnation times are controlled and managed by the system. Includes pre-heating capability for ATEX-specified windings.
• Motor Housing Processing (Lavorazione in Carcassa) Cold and hot insertion of windings into aluminum or cast iron motor housings from mec 50 to mec 225, including turning operations (sealing or tooth) up to mec 180, and terminal block connections. Partial orders accepted (e.g., insertion + turning only).
• ATEX-Certified Explosion-Proof Electric Motors ATEX-certified explosion-proof electric motors produced since 2015, covering single-phase, two-phase, and three-phase windings from mec 56 to mec 225 in all standard and special polarities. Used in electropumps, pumps, submersible pumps, gearmotors, and compressors for explosive atmospheres.
