Reliable service and expert advice for customers are core values at Mayr power transmission – at all locations around the globe. This is why the renowned family business regularly invites international colleagues and partners to the headquarters in Mauerstetten to exchange ideas. At the beginning of April, representatives from around 30 countries came together to find out more about new technologies, products and processes. This year, the focus was placed on the key future topic of robotics. In addition, the company announced an expansion: with the complete takeover of EME Motor 2008, S.L., Mayr power transmission now has its own subsidiary in Spain.
Whether in our future everyday lives or already today in medical technology or industrial production halls – wherever humans and robots work more closely together, the risk potential also increases. If, for example, a power failure occurs during a working process, the robot arm performing the work step must be held immediately and accurately, so that the people in the vicinity are not harmed in any way. Slim, lightweight robot brakes manufactured by Mayr power transmission ensure the necessary safety. With the ROBA® servostop® series, the company has developed safety brakes for servo motors which are specially tailored to the high demands of the robotics sector – not only in the industry, but also in the field of medical technology, for example. Here, the company can draw on more than 20 years of experience from its cooperation with renowned research institutes. The new standard modular system provides a high degree of flexibility for the various installation situations.
International exchange: Many locations, one quality
This became particularly clear when the numerous robotics use cases were presented during the International Sales Meeting in Mauerstetten. The Managing Directors and Sales Managers of the Mayr subsidiaries and representative offices worldwide came to the headquarters at the beginning of April 2025 to find out how to work with new technologies, products and processes. After all, customers on all continents should benefit from reliable service and expert advice. To achieve this, Mayr power transmission trusts in motivated and highly skilled employees.
New subsidiary in Spain
During the event, the long-standing family business was able to announce an expansion: After opening a subsidiary in India last year, Mayr power transmission has now added a subsidiary in Spain to its international presence. After more than 30 years of successful cooperation on the Spanish market, the former commercial agency EME Motor, S.L. was fully integrated into the Group as the subsidiary Mayr Transmisiones, S.L. at the beginning of 2025. Thus, the Allgäu-based company is strengthening its global sales network and is gaining access to new growth potential in the region.
The management of Mayr Transmisiones will remain with the current EME Managing Director Oscar Moncàs Miralles, while CEO Ferdinand Mayr and CFO Christian Illig will assume responsibility for the business as directors on behalf of Mayr power transmission.
Foundation for a new era in the region
The brothers Pere and Òscar Moncàs Miralles, the founders and directors of EME Motor, approached us some time ago to discuss the future of our collaboration. For both of them, this was also about the further development of their company,” explains Ferdinand Mayr, CEO of Mayr power transmission. “In the ensuing discussions, a takeover proved to be the best scenario for both sides. I am convinced that our new Mayr Transmisiones subsidiary is ideally positioned for further growth in Spain and Portugal. And I believe we have laid the foundations for a new era in the region with this takeover.”
Focus on stability and continuity
EME Motor was founded in 1988 and has been distributing Mayr power transmission products in Spain and Portugal since the mid-1990s. Òscar Moncàs intends to uphold the extensive shared experience and, in some cases, long-standing customer relationships under the new flag: “It is particularly important to me to continue the successful sales work in the region, but also to provide our employees with reliable prospects,” says the Managing Director of Mayr Transmisiones. “The takeover of EME Motor by Mayr power transmission ensures both. We have even been able to recruit a new employee for Technology and Sales – we are on track for growth. I look forward to further strengthening the mayr® brand in Spain and Portugal.” Mayr Transmisiones currently employs 4 people at its Castelldefels site (Barcelona) supporting customers in Spain and Portugal.
