Its solutions also optimize the assembly of battery packs, ensuring proper alignment and connection of cells, modules, and battery management systems (BMS).
• Electric Motors (Motor Components and Assembly): The company’s high-precision measurement tools extend to electric motors, especially rotor and stator inspections that meet the stringent design and performance criteria. In addition, Marposs provides end-of-line testing systems to assess the performance, efficiency, and durability of EV motors.

Being Smart and Green

“Over time, Marposs has seen Indian machine tool builders increasingly invest in metrology technologies to enhance precision, reduce errors, and improve overall productivity,” shares Matteucci. This shift reflects a growing recognition of the importance of accurate measurement systems in
meeting global quality standards, optimizing processes, and supporting advanced
manufacturing practices. He adds, “The trend shows a clear move towards embracing digitalization and smart manufacturing in the Indian Machine Tool sector.”

Marposs is seamlessly blending traditional precision with cutting-edge technology. It is adapting to Industry 4.0 by
integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), and smart sensors into its precision measurement and monitoring systems. “These technologies enable real-time data collection, predictive maintenance, and process optimization, enhancing efficiency and accuracy,” explains Matteucci. “By leveraging AI-driven insights, Marposs helps manufacturers automate decision-making, reduce downtime, and improve overall productivity, positioning itself as a key player in the smart manufacturing ecosystem.”

Gesturing towards the company’s energy-efficient systems, he notes, “Marposs is contributing to green manufacturing by offering precision tools that optimize resource use, reduce material waste, and improve energy efficiency.” Its advanced measurement systems enable manufacturers to enhance machining accuracy, extend tool life, and minimize energy consumption, all of which support more sustainable production processes. By focusing on efficiency and waste reduction, Marposs plays a key role in driving sustainable industrial practices globally.

IMTEX and 2025 Leap

“In 2025, Marposs will open a new technical center in Bengaluru with 20-25 researchers to test new applications, given the increase in the quality of requests from local and foreign clients investing in India,” reveals Matteucci, representing the company’s biggest bet on Indian innovation. Marposs India, through its sales and service organization, has materialized into a robust enterprise eyeing an impressive INR 170-crore turnover for 2024-25.

From January 23-29, 2025, at South Asia’s largest machine tool exhibition, IMTEX 2025, organized by Indian Machine Tool Manufacturers’ Association (IMTMA), Marposs plans to showcase its global expertise and local insights through thirty groundbreaking products. Set
to mark its presence, it will
highlight its latest machine models and technologies, focusing on advanced in-process monitoring systems, smart sensors for real-time data analysis, and automation solutions. “Key offerings include solutions for precision measurement, tool life optimization, and energy-efficient machining,” Matteucci outlines. “These technologies aim to enhance manufacturing efficiency, reduce waste, and support sustainability in the metal-cutting industry.”

Marposs India’s journey is a testament to its commitment to driving precision, innovation, and sustainability across India’s industrial sectors. As the company expands its presence with the new technical center and further investments, it is poised to help shape the future of Indian manufacturing and beyond. “The future of Marposs in India looks promising as the country continues to develop as a manufacturing powerhouse, and the company is well-positioned to support that growth with its cutting-edge solutions,” concludes Marposs India MD.
