Story

It was in Modena, one day in 1970.

A man, who we will call under his real name, Giulio Montanari, went towards his story.

Sure, he did not imagine how this would have work but he bravely faced it; and as any gentleman, a brave and valiant lady, named Orianna, embarked on this path beside him.

The two with a dream and a great desire to make it, looked beyond the horizon with confidence and (certainly) a dash of worry and opened their garage door starting this new adventure. (Have you ever thought about many big companies were really born in a garage?).

How did it go?

We could continue here, but we thought it is better to leaf through the pages!

The beginning

So, it was exactly in that garage that the first traction pulleys saw the light…small handcrafted pieces.

It was the time of the economic boom; Italy was growing fast.
Day after day with patience, satisfactions paying off.
Investments in that years meant sacrifice tasting acrid like the sweat and metallic like the cast iron.

1975, the year of the first gearbox. Their names were just acronyms: M78 – M75 – M83. They looked like racecars, but the ride this time was vertical relieving people of the upper levels.
Now, the garage became small and the two decided to move in 9.000 sqm. A big step forward.

The new huge space was full of machines and people that worked there for bringing back dreams and hope. That land was rumbling. A land of motors in a world that runs hard and fast.

Design, production and quality!

In Italy as well as abroad. We are an international company.
Now the market wants and praises the Montanari Giulio brand.

The company grows. The products range gets wider providing to the lift market over 12 gearboxes models.

The key word now is Invest!
The whole Italy travels vertically and often the heart pulsating is that of the Montanari brand. A lift as a human body.

A machine able to break down the architectural barriers and to make attractive penthouses and buildings.

In 1996, we became ISO 9001 to ensure even more our commitment to quality.

From Emilia to Lombardy. We have decided to produce on our own also the electric motors for the gearboxes.

In 1997, we have founded the Elemol in Lodi. We preside over 90% of the production.

The architecture evolves, the flow of people to the cities increases, and consequently the market lift changes and starts to be shaped according to the new developments. While on the horizon the new Gearless has appeared. Montanari has responded with the MDD model, launched during the Interlift exhibition in 1999.

We excellently manage projects for both new installations and modernization thanks to the particular know how that distinguishes us since the beginning. Valued partners for multinationals and private manufacturers as well. A reference point for maintainers, suppliers and installers.

1999 is remembered also for the EN …. recording an important revision concerning safety. Thanks to our Technical Manager, we are on the front line for regulations discussion and changes.

Since its foundation until nowdays, Montanari Lifts Components has grown and it offers a high quality product and service to its customers.

More than 120 people are employed in the company. A great family.

To increase the support that we give to our customers, since 2016 we decide to develop a logistic network.

Kolkata, Chennai, Ahmedabad, Bangalore and Delhi are three strategic centres and we decide to open here logistic and technical support hubs.

This means shorter delivery times, products on stock and faster assistance.

Furthermore, we think that know how transfer is important. The Montanari Academy organizes trainings for the customers in order to develop new skills.

2018 is an important year. 10 years of Montanari India are celebrated. A great moment to share with customers talking about past and thinking about future.

Lift market experiences a rapid evolution and companies are following these changes.

Projections on urban development published by the WEF provide us a scenario in which migration from rural areas to the cities will intensify gradually.

In 2017 we became Montanari Group for embracing under the same name all reality belonging to us.

Made by Montanari is a synonymous of guarantee.

We are preparing for celebrating 50 years of Montanari Story and the main protagonists of this achievement , are our customers and the people that works with us.

There is a beating heart inside each Montanari product!
