Marposs S.p.A. EN Menu Company About Us Company Mission You and Us About Us History & Network Marposs Group Social Responsibility & Compliance Headquarters The headquarters facilities are in Bentivoglio, about ten kilometres north of Bologna, Italy. The headquarters consist of three factories set side by side, plus other service buildings (an internal restaurant and technological centres). The total covered space measures 38,000 square metres, surrounded by 30,000 square metres of gardens, plus yards and parking lot. This is the location of the central research and development, design, production, marketing and education/training organizations. The manufacturing organization has two major components: the Product Manufacturing Center which produces standard products; the Application Manufacturing Center, which produces customized systems to be integrated into customers' facilities. Marposs operates with the most advanced equipment to assure the quality of its products. For instance, the assembly of printed circuits is performed on a completely automated SMD line, integrated with opto-electronic systems which assure optimum levels of quality together with a high degree of operating flexibility. Testing is made with advanced technologies and machines: full circuit inspection using mobile inspection probes perform boundary scan-type tests, the only ones capable of performing high reliability tests on printed circuit boards with complex integrated circuits. Both Manufacturing Centers work in tight cooperation with the R&D department and with the three commercial divisions: the Machine Tool Division operates in the world of measurement and control on machine tools; the Standard Component Division works in the field of standard gauges and components for the gauge makers; the Special Application Division covers the area of customized gauging stations (manual benches and automatic machines) tailored on the specific customers requests. Research & Development (R&D) Research and development are the lifeblood of the constant technological innovation that characterizes today's global manufacturing community. Recognizing this, Marposs invests approximately 8% of its revenue in Research and Development and participates with a number of partners in international research programs. The productivity of these efforts is enhanced by many years of real-world experience which help Marposs efficiently identify and pursue the most promising new technologies. Marposs' Research and Development Center synthesizes the knowledge gained from both customer applications and Marposs' own internal operations and applies it to the ongoing basic research. All Marposs gauging solutions (mechanical, air-electronic, contact-electronic, optical) have their origins in the Research and Development Center, and so will the advanced new technologies which eventually will replace them. This continuous improvement is necessary to allow Marposs to maintain its leadership in the world for gauging systems engineering. Education & Training Training is one of the fundamental elements of the company philosophy. Both internal and external technicians are thoroughly trained in all aspects of product knowledge and application skills. Managers are trained in both technology and business issues, as well as interpersonal relations and behavior skills. Marposs training strives to create a broad, dynamic view of engineering and manufacturing issues and a willingness to embrace effective new technologies. Ongoing cooperation with the academic community provides a permanent interchange with the world of scientific research and the integration of new human resources into the company.
