About the Item

The company was founded in 1891 in Milan as a sole proprietorship by Ercole Marelli, in his youth a worker at the Italian Tecnomasio in Milan. Initially the company manufactured electromechanical appliances; beginning in 1896 it undertook the manufacture of "air agitators" (fans), hitherto imported from the United States, and within a few years became one of the world's leading companies in the industry. Transformed into a limited partnership on February 28, 1900, it opened a large factory in Sesto San Giovanni in December 1905, which was served by the Milan-Monza tramway and employed skilled Milanese labor and local general laborers. In addition to fans, small electric motors, centrifugal electric pumps and transformers were produced here In 1919, due to the growing need for ignition magnets aimed at the automobile and aviation markets, Magneti Marelli was established, share capital of 7 million liras, subscribed in equal parts by Fiat and "Società Anonima Ercole Marelli."[2] On October 10, 1920, it changed its name to become Società anonima per azioni. In 1921, the II factory, "Grandi Costruzioni," arose in Sesto San Giovanni, where remarkably skilled workers and technicians built transformers, generators, electromotive machines, turboalternators, and large pumps destined for hydro and thermoelectric power plants around the world. In the 1930s, production of large machinery such as alternators and transformers, control systems for rolling mills for the world's major steelmakers, propulsion machinery for ships and equipment for trains, electric pumps for aqueducts and reclamation works was greatly expanded. The company had its greatest development after World War II. By the 1960s it was exporting high-powered locomotives for the Chilean Railways and diesel-electric locomotives for the railways of Argentina, and by 1963 the Ercole Marelli group touched 7100 employees. Its products, technologically advanced for the time, can be found in many mass transportation projects, such as traction drives for the Milan Subway; later, it was the first Italian company to offer power drives for chopper locomotives. Beginning in 1968, in order to cope with lower prices in the electromechanical industry, the company began a radical restructuring phase and was reorganized into four divisions: Power, Industrial Traction and Marine Equipment and Systems, Serial Products, and Aerotechnics.
