Our history
“Creativity, vision and the ability to understand the everchanging needs of our market is our biggest asset, since 1891”.
1891 The Beginning
Ercole Marelli sets up a small factory in Milan, specialising in the production of electrical motors and equipment. Soon after in Vicenza, Antonio Pellizzari founded his first workshop in 1901.
Marelli Motori was created from the fusion of these two successful and innovative Italian companies.
1931 A Great Workshop
The Pellizzari & Figli is a rapidly developing Italian company. Many patents are registered during a sharp period of important social events for an evolving industrial country.
1950 No Longer A Workshop
The Pellizzari & Figli workshop became a pioneering company with seven production sites in Vicenza and two in South America. In 1953 it celebrated with much pride the millionth motor produced in Arzignano.
1970 A New Factory Plant
A number of successful collaborations with public and private sectors sees a new era of innovation for electromechanical applications both domestically and internationally.
The Company continues to develop, consolidating and reinforcing a distinctive identity within the industry and in 1970 a new site is built in Arzignano, which forms the basis for the facility used today.
