Mayr Antriebstechnik with Spanish branch

Mayr Antriebstechnik has taken over EME Motor 2008, S.L. completely. As a result, the Bavarian producer of safety brakes, safety couplings and shaft couplings now has Mayr Antriebstechnik has its own subsidiary in Spain.

After opening a subsidiary in India last year, Mayr Antriebstechnik 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 Antriebstechnik.

"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," explained Ferdinand Mayr. "In the ensuing discussions, a takeover proved to be the best scenario for both sides."

"Continue successful sales work"

EME Motor was founded in 1988 and has been distributing Mayr Antriebstechnik 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," said the Managing Director of Mayr Transmisiones.

Mayr Transmisiones currently employs four people at its Castelldefels site (Barcelona) supporting customers in Spain and Portugal. Currently, approximately 750 employees work at the headquarters in Mauerstetten, in the Allgäu region. Worldwide, Mayr Antriebstechnik has more than 1350 employees. The company runs two additional production plants in Poland and China and has recently set up a production subsidiary in India.
