About us

Our History, at the Service of Your Future

Past

Since 1986, we have been building solutions for resistance welding..
We started as a small family-run company, designing simple machines with a clear goal in mind: to solve real production problems with robust, functional solutions, combining technical expertise with an entrepreneurial spirit.
Over the years, every project has been an opportunity to grow—from the first rotary tables to multiple spot welders, from robotic welding guns to our flagship product: the Marta System cartesian Robot.
We have gained specific and cross-sector know-how, working side by side with automotive manufacturers, wire products specialists, and metal furniture producers across Europe and beyond.
Each machine, each system, each challenge has taken us one step further, allowing us to turn our experience into tangible value for our customers.

Present

Today, we design and manufacture turnkey welding systems, fully customized to meet your specific needs.We manage every step in-house, from mechanical and software design to final testing, thanks to a skilled and responsive team.
Our machines stand out for their flexibility, speed, and reliability. We work alongside our customers to solve everyday production issues such as:

  • Reducing cycle times
  • Managing different products with a single system
  • Automating processes that previously required manual labor
  • Avoiding downtime and boosting productivity
  • Ensuring consistently strong and reliable weld quality in their products

Future

We continue to innovate , offering solutions that are increasingly high-performing and safe, with a growing focus on automation and process sustainability.
Our goal is o enhance your competitiveness: helping you simplify today’s work while building the factory of tomorrow.
Whether it’s a new system, the optimization of an existing process, or fast technical support, we stand by your side to turn every project into a real advantage.
