These companies do not build cars<\/strong>, but they make their existence possible, working on micron tolerances, surface treatments, CNC machining and complex systems<\/strong> such as gearboxes, suspensions, brakes, electronics and composite materials.<\/p>\n

Areas of excellence: between Modena, Reggio Emilia and Bologna<\/h3>\n
The productive heart of precision engineering in Motor Valley is concentrated between Modena, Reggio Emilia, Bologna, Parma and Imola<\/strong>, where hundreds of highly specialised SMEs and micro-enterprises operate.<\/p>\n Among the leading companies are: \u2022 Bercella (Parma)<\/strong> \u2013 excellence in advanced composites for cars, aerospace and motorsport.<\/p>\n \u2022 Marchesini Group (Castel Guelfo)<\/strong> \u2013 precision engineering also applied to the automotive industry.<\/p>\n \u2022 HP Composites (Ascoli Piceno, but with a network in Emilia)<\/strong> \u2013 supplies carbon components for supercars and hypercars.<\/p>\n These companies collaborate synergistically with major brands, but also with universities, research centres and innovative start-ups in the area.<\/p>\n The real strength of Emilia-Romagna’s mechanical engineering lies in the combination of traditional craftsmanship and technological innovation.<\/strong> The precision engineering companies in Motor Valley are not stuck in tradition<\/strong>, but are among the first to innovate:<\/p>\n \u2022 They develop components for hybrid and electric cars;<\/p>\n \u2022 They work with lightweight materials such as titanium, carbon and special alloys;<\/p>\n \u2022 They implement additive technologies (3D printing) for prototyping and production;<\/p>\n \u2022 They collaborate with racing teams, universities (such as UNIMORE and the University of Bologna) and centres such as the Dallara Academy<\/p>\n
\u2022 CIMA (Faenza)<\/strong> \u2013 produces high-precision gears and gearboxes, supplying F1 and MotoGP teams.<\/p>\nMicron machining: craftsmanship and Industry 4.0 technologies<\/h3>\n
Many technicians come from families of mechanics, turners, millers or fitters, but today they work with 5-axis CNC machines, advanced CAD\/CAM systems<\/strong>, collaborative robots and high-precision laser metrology.
Every component that leaves these companies is tested for performance, reliability and safety<\/strong>, often destined for cars that exceed 300 km\/h or competition vehicles where every gram counts.<\/p>\nFrom F1 to electric cars: the supply chain that anticipates the future<\/h3>\n
