International network expanded

After opening a branch in India last year, the family-owned company Mayr Antriebstechnik has now expanded its international presence with a branch in Spain. After more than 30 years of successful cooperation on the Spanish market, the previous commercial agency EME Motor, S.L. was fully integrated into the Group as the subsidiary Mayr Transmisiones, S.L. at the beginning of 2025. The Allgäu-based company is thus strengthening its global sales network and gaining access to new growth potential in the region. The management of Mayr Transmisiones will remain with the previous EME Managing Director Oscar Moncàs Miralles, while CEO Ferdinand Mayr and CFO Christian Illig will be responsible for the business as Mayr Antriebstechnik directors.

"The brothers Pere and Òscar Moncàs Miralles, the founders and directors of EME Motor, approached us some time ago to talk about the future of our collaboration. For both of them, it was also about the further development of their company," explains Ferdinand Mayr, CEO of Mayr Antriebstechnik. "In the talks that followed, a takeover emerged as the best scenario for both sides. I believe that our new subsidiary Mayr Transmisiones is ideally positioned for further growth in Spain and Portugal. I think we have laid the foundations for a new era in the region with this takeover."

EME Motor was founded in 1988 and has been selling Mayr Antriebstechnik products in Spain and Portugal since the mid-1990s. Oscar Moncàs wants to maintain the extensive shared experience and the 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 offer our employees a reliable perspective," says the Managing Director of Mayr Transmisiones. "The takeover of EME Motor by Mayr Antriebstechnik ensures both. We have even been able to recruit a new employee for technology and sales - the growth trajectory is on track. I am looking forward to further strengthening the mayr brand in Spain and Portugal." Mayr Transmisiones currently employs four people at its Castelldefels (Barcelona) site, who look after customers in Spain and Portugal.
