IMPEX TECNICHE LINEARI S.R.L.

What IMPEX TECNICHE LINEARI S.R.L. does

IMPEX TECNICHE LINEARI S.R.L. is an Italian private limited company (S.R.L.) headquartered in Torgiano, Umbria, operating under the MOVITEC brand. Founded in 1986 with the MOVITEC brand established in the early 1990s, the company designs and manufactures linear motion systems for industrial automation, including aluminum and steel linear tables, pneumatic tables, bi-rail linear modules (screw- and belt-driven), slide units, and compact small-format tables. It also serves as the official Italian distributor for three European precision-mechanics component manufacturers — Eichenberger Gewinde (threaded components), Middex Electronix (electronic components), and Rollvis Swiss (mechanical components) — bundling these into its own systems and reselling them.

The company employs approximately 7 people and operates a direct, quote-based sales model aimed at industrial OEMs and machine builders globally. Engineering services are a core revenue lever: the 'Progetti Speciali' offering combines multiple MOVITEC systems into complete bespoke machines built from customer-supplied concepts, complemented by custom screw end-processing to drawing, technical consulting, and product sizing. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; every engagement is treated as a custom project with a request-for-quote (preventivo) workflow and long-term post-sale customer service relationships.

Distribution is direct from the Torgiano facility to a worldwide customer base, supported by a four-language website (Italian, English, German, French) and a presence on LinkedIn and Facebook. The company is privately held, with no disclosed parent, institutional investors, funding rounds, M&A activity, leadership transitions, AI/ML initiatives, or third-party certifications in the source data. The MOVITEC trademark is the only registered intellectual property on record.

• Thomson Linear (Regal Rexnord): Major supplier of linear motion components including linear guides, screws, actuators, and slides. Operates as a broad industrial brand within Regal Rexnord, with deep overlap to IMPEX's catalog.
• NSK: Japanese global manufacturer of bearings, linear guides, ballscrews, and motion control products. Competes in the same linear motion product categories and serves similar industrial automation OEMs.
• SKF: Global bearing and mechanical motion specialist with a linear motion product line including guides, screws, and actuators. Much broader portfolio but directly comparable in linear motion technology.
• Bosch Rexroth: Global leader in linear motion technology, factory automation, and drive/control technology. Overlaps with IMPEX across linear tables, screw-driven modules, and motion subsystems, but operates as a broad multi-product portfolio incumbent.
• HIWIN: Global manufacturer of linear guides, ballscrews, linear actuators, and motion control components. Directly competes in the same product categories as MOVITEC but at significantly larger scale with broader geographic footprint.
• IKO International: Manufacturer of linear motion rolling guides, slides, and positioning tables. Directly overlaps with IMPEX's product portfolio and serves the same industrial automation customer base.

Others

• Rollvis Swiss: Swiss manufacturer of precision lead screws and worm gears. Anchors IMPEX's distribution franchise and is functionally adjacent — both a supplier relationship and a competitor in screw-driven linear motion.
• Eichenberger Gewinde: Swiss threaded-components manufacturer that supplies IMPEX as a partner/distributor. Adjacent as a supplier relationship and also a potential competitor in screw-driven linear systems.

Direct peers

• Rollon: Italian-headquartered specialist in linear guides, telescopic rails, and actuators for industrial automation. Most directly comparable peer given shared Italian heritage, similar product category (linear motion systems), and comparable SME scale.
• SCHNEEBERGER: Swiss precision manufacturer of linear bearings, profiled rail guides, ballscrews, and positioning systems. Comparable as a European specialist serving industrial automation with custom-engineered linear motion solutions.
